A New Free Traffic Source and an Update

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. The good thing is that I can work on my niche ...

Why do Women Blog? For the perks, of course!

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 ...

Switching to Infolinks Gets Results

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. After never quite reaching a ...

Are Cyberhub Article Writers Sexist?

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, ...

Freelance Writing Work – Making More Money with Fewer Articles

[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 ...

The Niche Blogger Review – 10 Months Later

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 ...

IM Report Card and Ninja Style

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. I've been busy working away on my goal of saving $1500 by the end of the year and so far so good! I had a very nice surprise in ...

I Quit My Job – My 100th Post!

admin motivation

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 could replace my salary as a full time massage therapist.

I”m ready!

I have been experimenting with different types of blogs and since I’m a big proponent of not putting all of your eggs in one basket, I am learning which ones work for me and are the best and most profitable use of my time. I have learned how to use software to speed along my process and when the best times are to outsource. Of course, I have also learned a good deal about SEO, as well.

I want to thank each and every one of you who has encouraged me along the way. It’s been an exciting and eventful year and next year is going to be even better.

In the next few weeks, I’m going to be sharing some of the new things that I have learned, as well as letting you know how my Google Adwords experiment went.

Until then, enjoy your holiday season. I know I am.
