Well folks, it’s that time. A couple of weeks ago I challenged all of you to add at least 7 article to Constant Content and wait it out and see what sold. I don’t know about you guys, but I can tell you what I sold.

NOTHING.

I’m not bitter. Quite the contrary. I intend to keep uploading articles to Constant Content until I start selling them which will hopefully...

So it’s been almost a week since I wrote my post about Constant Content. I don’t quite have all seven articles up yet for my challenge, but I’m well on my way. The review time is taking a little longer than I expected, but it is definitely within reason.

I have 3 articles that have already been reviewed and are posted to the website. One of them I wrote in response to a public request for articles...

Yesterday I took the plunge and created an author account at Constant Content. I am growing bored with Demand Studios and I am looking at other alternatives to enhance my income streams. After checking out a few forums and blogs, I decided to give CC a shot. Here the 411.

You go to the Constant Content website and create an account....

I’ve been writing a little bit for Helium since the site first began and honestly, I collect a payment from there every couple of months and forget about it. However, recent developments have caused me to take another look.

As most of you know, in order to receive your payments, you must do a minimal amount of “rating” each month on the site. Though I still don’t agree with this policy, it does help to keep me active. You are given two articles...

You all may have noticed the advertising spots on the right sidebar of my blog. A couple of months ago, I read about OIO publisher over at Felicia’s blog and thought that it might be worth checking out.  There are lots of ways to find out how to make money with a blog – but private pubishing is one area that I had never really checked into.  I’ve used Google Adsense, affilate partners such as Amazon and...

This week, I officially quit my day job. WOOHOO!!!!!  I cannot express how excited I am about leaving my career and beginning to work from home.

Starting in January, I will be freelance writing and blogging full time.  The move has been a slow process that started at the beginning of this year.  It was my goal to be proficient enough at blogging for money and have enough freelance writing clients that I...

One of the yucky parts of creating your own websites is the process of getting backlinks.  An easy way to do this is article marketing.  Create articles about your website subject, include links back to your website and submit them to article directories.

Although I do write for a living, sometimes it’s easier to outsource these types of articles so that I can focus my time on tasks that no one can do but me. Usually, I buy articles from Cyberhub. I have...

If you’ve been reading along, you’ll know that I had my first attempt at flipping a blog. First of all, let me say that Flippa made the process really simple.

Did it sell?

No.

I was checking my email today and I saw that I had a couple of new comments at RedGage.  So, I clicked on over to the site and got a nice little suprise!

For those of you who don’t know, RedGage is a website that allows you to post links to your blogs and articles and make a little money from the page views that they generate.  Every day they give out a few bonuses for articles, photos, videos, etc. that they select to appear on their front page.

Today,...

Since I’ve been blogging for a year now, I decided that it’s time that I learn a little about flipping a website.  My mindset is this: if it sells, great – if not, it’s a learning process and I will learn what I can do better next time.

I have decided to use flippa.com to sell my site. It costs $19 to list your site and their step by step process is actually quite easy.  I also had the advantage of a tutorial on blog flipping from
