Are Experts More Likely to Write Free Articles and For Pay Works?

Are Experts More Likely to Write Free Articles and For Pay Works?
By L. Winslow

It has been observed that expert writers or experts in a field often give away their words in some cases and sell them in others. Generally, they have an area of expertise where they can command a higher price and perhaps have passion in other areas and decide to put pen to paper and write for free. Well this was a recent discussion at an online article forum dialogue recently.

Writers giving in some areas and selling in others makes a lot of sense to me. I like that and of course this brings up another subject on the topic of experts. How can we tell if they are an expert with regards to what they write? If we were to design a system that could tell us should we alter the scale to take into consideration the various types of writing?

A.) Should we be searching both Free-Articles and For Sale Articles or Paid Works to find the experts, perhaps giving more credence to the paid works?

B.) Should we understand that non-paid works of passion or non-profit philanthropy, be rated along with the elevated For Sale Works.

C.) If so, then how much more credence or credit advantage should they be given? Paid works 40% higher probability of being an expert than free-works?

D.) Non-Fiction works might only count as expert writer unless the work goes into extensive details such as in Historical Fiction, Sci Fi or some other aspect, while non-fiction works are given the full 40% up-grade advantage on the scale?

I believe that some how these things must be considered if we are to determine who the experts are and who is not an expert when we read information? Consider this.
