Oona, Jessica, Kerrie, Kay, Samantha, Serfronya, Susan, Oleg, Kimberly and Emma
This is for you. At some point in time, you signed up for PayPerPost under one of my referral codes. As luck may have it, they have recently raised my referral credit from $7.50 to $15.00 now, having a few $7.50 potential referral fees sitting idle is one thing, but having TEN $15.00 referral fees […]
Another place to get paid for quickies
Felicia wrote about Niner Niner a few weeks ago. Go take a peek, I’m not sure how they determine whether a 150 word post is a ten center or a fifty center. I would definitely never try making a living at that rate, but I’d definitely use it to create links to other work and […]

Someone is blowing smoke.
Or perhaps it’s $5000 worth of helium.com I think in the past few years I’ve known one or two moms who have made decent income from Helium.com.

Saved by the [browser,bell]
Ok- that weird symbol thing in the title can be explained. When a client asks you to “spin” an article, you’re supposed to give them interchangeable words in brackets, so that they can turn your article into an infinite number of identical-ish articles just by spinning it. Here’s an example: I went to the mall […]
