I’m going to start with a caveat… and that’s that content mills are really great for beginners. Right now, I’m a little bit of a beginner again. I’m not working TOO HARD to secure private clients because I’m trying to focus on my fiction writing. That said- my fiction royalties aren’t enough to live on yet […]
Making Money Online
Tools for Kindle Marketing
Amazon Kindle has their own built-in ad platform, and it’s super effective but since they pay authors 2 months later for sales and they require a $100 commitment, you need to either set very short ad run times or risk that $100 that you might not see back for a while. On the brighter side, […]
Writing in the middle of life and everything
So life has become super complicated. Suddenly I’m a mom of kids with medical needs in the midst of my own medical needs. My 15 yr old had surgery a couple weeks ago and I just brought my 19 year old home from the hospital, she had pneumonia and sepsis. One day she’s fine and […]
Back at the keyboard
OK, so my 2 years of job experience has taught me a few things, most prominently that I’m not cut out to be the mom that works 50+ hours outside the house with little chance of building real wealth or independence. About a month ago, I set off on a vacation with my kids. I […]
My new favorite webwriting agency
I’ve been writing for Blogmutt since December 20, 2013 and almost instantly, they were my #1 favorite place to log into. Their behind-the-scenes format is so easy to work with. Instead of blowing their horn here on my website, I’m going to send you directly over to Blogmutt via some links to posts I wrote […]

Remember that song? It’s been stuck in my head ever since I made the decision to come back to internet writing professionally. I started this site in 2008 and at that time, I was supporting my family of 8 with the revenue I made from write-for-cash sites, revenue sharing sites, content mills and through […]
Writing for Bukisa, One year anniversary
If you haven’t heard of Bukisa as a writing site, it’s probably because it’s not taken very seriously as a source of income. The site pays on a monthly $/1000 which changes, based on the previous month’s earnings for the entire site. Consequently, crappy articles are paid at the same rate as good articles, and […]
Free eBook Introduction to WebWriting
One of my favorite people in the webwriting business is Felicia from No Job for Mom. She has a professional yet friendly voice and shares her experiences so generously in her website. I love that she’s a mom who has made this business work and I’ve learned so much from her over the years. She’s […]
10 signs that the Internet hates you
What- did I really just say that? The entire internet itself can’t hate someone, and why would it pick on little old me? Please, say it ain’t so. It might be… If you’re not ‘feeling the love” from the energy you put into your niche blogs, there might be a reason. Over the past 3 […]
Right place at the right time- SWEET
I know you skim over marketing emails, too. 90% of them are just spam- designed to remind you that you once thought something was interesting enough to add yourself to an email list. But the fact is, for me anyhow, that if I don’t buy it right away, chances are that I won’t even open […]
