[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 ...
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.
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. Related posts:What is Infolinks? If ...
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 ...
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.
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, ...
Have you ever heard of Fiverr.com? It’s a really interesting site where you can waste away the hours looking at the different things that folks will offer to do for 5 bucks. Trust me. Hours.
One guy says that he will write your domain name on his arm and wear it around college for a day for $5. Another girl says that she will leave comments on your Facebook page to make people jealous for $5. (well worth it if you are in the market for such a thing, I’m sure)
I decided...
If you are writing for Suite 101, you have probably noticed a decline in your earnings over the last few months. Mine have unfortunately been cut in HALF since the beginning of the year. I’m not sure what exactly happened here, but I have a sneaking feeling that some of it has to do with the Google Mayday update.
According to some sources, this update has made articles on larger sites have to rely more on their own backlinks than on the backlinks of the entire large site. If this is true, it would make sense that my...
I am so happy to announce that the sex book is finished and for sale on Amazon! “How to Get your Wife to Act Like a Porn Star”, by Alice and Jane Cash (that’s me and my friend Deshay) has finally hit the streets. The book was a riot to write and contains such valuable information as “Do the fucking dishes!”.
You can buy the book on Amazon by clicking here.

I wanted to let you guys know today about a couple of free tools that I use each and every day for freelance writing. These two tools make my life so much easier!
They are both actually Firefox add on’s, so if you are not using Firefox, you won’t be able to take advantage of them. Also, if you are not using Firefox, then you should be. It’s the best! Plus, it’s free and no-hassle.
The first tool that I wanted to tell you about is the “Word Count” Firefox add on. This is especially helpful for those who write for Demand Studios and like to write...
Change. The only thing that is really permanent in life.
This weekend, I decided to change up my writing schedule. I actually decided how much money I want to make per day and then divided up my time for different projects. I know how many of each type of article that I will have to write to make my goal.
The main change in my schedule is that I am writing half the amount that I used to for Demand Studios. This is a very welcome change.
I...
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...
