Joe--I would set the bar, income-wise, a bit lower, but not much. In the $75,000-$100,000 p. a. range. That being said, for someone of my age and perspective, it is as much a matter of lifestyle as livelihood. Jim Casada |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I would pretty much support what Bryce says about the possibility of earning a decent livelihood as an outdoor communicator. I didn't suggest it was impossible, just more difficult than in the past. Also, my initial comment was about making a living selling articles to outdoor magazines, not the full gamut of potential income sources. The issue of "decent livelihood," or however we might describe the monetary end, is something always left in a nebulous nether world. How much gross income from freelance outdoor communicating constitutes a "decent livelihood?" In today's world a decent livelihood from a profession should be in the $100,000 per year range, give or take a little, at least in my view. I wonder how many freelance outdoor writers are making that sort of income. |
