I'm still working hard towards my $1500 goal and I've realized a couple of things. 1. I love researching and setting up niche blogs. I enjoy it much more than actual article writing and it has a longer and higher income potential. 2. I still enjoy article writing, but I hope to suppliment my full time income with more niche blogging than flat fee article writing. No related posts.
Hi there people. I'm a little stunned right now because my husband just spotted a huge snake right outside our front door on the porch. He nearly stepped on it when he was taking out the trash. Fortunately, it's only a grass snake, but startling none the less. No related posts.
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, ...
Hello all. I have been busy writing my little fingers off here lately and there are several new things that I would like to share with you. As you may know, I have a whole network of blogs now and I'm always looking for new ways to monetize them. For a while, I ran Kontera on a couple of these sites. Kontera shows ads as text links inside your blog posts. No related posts.
Women blog for a lot of different reasons - to make money, to fill the time, to teach others, to have a creative outlet or even for the perks. Wait. What's this about perks? Are you a lady blogger who likes freebies? Do I have news for you! There was a great article over at Problogger a couple of days ago by a lady named Krizia. The article was about how hard it is now to get samples ...
[caption id="" align="alignleft" width="180" caption="writing"][/caption] If you are looking for freelance writing work online, you may have come across sites such as Helium, Suite101, Bukisa, eHow and Associated Content. These are all sites that pay you each month for either the amount of times your articles have been viewed or the amount of advertiser money that your articles have generated. When you write for these sites, you do not get up front payments, however, if you know ...
I thought that you guys might be wondering how my niche blogging is going along, so I decided to write a Niche Blogger Review to show you how that's been going for me this year. I bought Amy Bass's The Niche Blogger in January of this year and began to learn about building my own niche blogs using wordpress. When I started I knew nothing about SEO or how to get a website ranked, much ...
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...
Two things happened this week which dramatically affected the amount of work that I put out.
1. Our kitchen flooded. We woke up at 3am to the sound of rushing water coming from a pipe under our sink. There was standing water on the floor. On our new floor. That beautiful new laminate floor that the amazing Scott put in with his own two hands. FUCK! What a mess. (if you know anything about laminate floor, you know what this means) This decreased my work output and made me sad.
So here’s my frist update in my journey towards saving up $1500 and quitting my day job. Here’s what I’ve been up to.
1. I have figured out my schedule. Since my days off from my job are on Sunday and Monday, I will be writing Sunday through Thrusdays only. This takes the pressure off of Friday and Saturdays which are both my busiest days at work, as well as at home.
I realize that it’s been a while since I updated here, but when a reader left a comment asking if I had died, I knew it was time to crank things up again.
Here are a few good reasons why I have neglected my poor readers:
1. I got married.
2. We bought a double wide mobile home.
Before I leave for Bonnaroo tomorrow, I wanted to let you guys in on a little secret that I use to get more traffic to my sites and articles. It’s more than a secret tip, it’s actually a process that’s been working quite well for me lately. It has helped me quite a bit with my Squidoo lenses and online articles.
The first thing I do is decide on the topic I want to write about. Then I go to
Ego. That is the plain and simple answer to the question, “How did you lose 2 grand?”
I write for a couple of companies online. One of them began laying people off a couple of months ago. I just kept waiting for that dreaded pink email, but it never came.
