I have to go over that with them when we have time to go over the details, but they said the key word restrictions, this just recently happened too.

What they want

1. Write to a broad audience, so that means I have to assume people aren't financial savvy. This would be a terribly big change for me because I only write really to those who follow economics ( Hence) the Facebook page being a constant news feed of economic charts and data.

2. Time, do I have the time and would it be worth it for me. I have no idea yet how much they want.

We shall see, their economist and I agreed that I would change how I write articles for them. However, I still want the freedom to do my own stuff.

We shall see.
