I was hired to do two articles. As these were "last minute" articles and needed to be completed quickly, I didn't do any research on the company. After sending in the first article, I became suspicious. Although I haven't sent in an invoice yet, I'm wondering if it is worthwhile to finish the second article. Any information about the company or the editor would be helpful.

Thanks.

... which you can also find by typing "affluent page" into the admittedly not great Search on this site.

Their website has been taken down, so that's never a good sign. Probably have not paid their bills. Too bad.

Answering my own questions
I put the original post about this magazine. Since then, I was contacted by the magazine staff and everything seems to be above board. The may have had some problems in the beginning, as they are a startup magazine, but I was paid as soon as my invoice was received.

Are you saying that they paid off immediately on your second invoice? Perhaps they're a worthwhile market if that's the case.

Yes, they paid me two days after I spoke with them. So, I have no complaints. There was just some initial awkward confusion.
