I just wanted to announce that I was recently made the Seattle Homeschooling Examiner. All the other writer-moms are doing it, right? I’ll admit, my first two articles aren’t brilliant, but why waste brilliance at the beginning, right? So now when all the other writer-moms are talking about their experiences and advice for The Examiner, […]
Making Money Online
Get Paid to Link to Your Articles
Here are some tips for driving traffic to your other articles. A lot of writers are using Xomba, Bukisa and Twitter to drive traffic to their revenue-sharing articles on other sites. Both have advantages and disadvantages, here’s a method I use when I’m not distracted. Create an article (or identify one that’s already profitable) that […]
Bid-For-Work Websites
I’ve gotten a lot of work from Rentacoder, I think their format is easy to use and work with. Understanding the expert guarantee was a hard lesson- basically, you put your money on the line to show confidence in your work. Except- you pay transfer fees when you get your money back. That’s not right. […]
Themestream Flashback
Back in 2000 I made a pretty decent income writing for Themestream. Overnight, they simply disappeared, without a trace. No “dear writer” letter of goodbye or anything. Their pay scale was nice, 10 cents per page view. Perhaps that’s what put them under. At the time, it didn’t kill us that my $1200+ per month […]
And what do you do again?
How many times have you heard this question? I’ve gotten into the habit of just saying “nothing, I’m home with the kids.” The honest answer is that I write Search Engine Optimized articles for a percentage of the advertising revenue from large websites and for a flat fee from private clients. I also operate a […]
More work sources for content producers
TextBroker although I hear the pay is low. In the contract there’s a word spelled wrong, that is so tacky. I registered, in anything comes of it, I will let you know. I hope it doesn’t, I don’t really want another low paying job. Mahalo the rates for the individual jobs I saw mentioned were […]
Easy almost-writer Jobs any mom can do from home
Um- Okay technically the term would be content producer. Forum Booster is a service that helps create conversations on new message boards to stir up conversations and get people talking. They pay writers to go have bogus conversations on the new website’s message boards, so that when the real visitors arrive, it looks like people […]
Review: PayMeToBlogAboutYou
This site is really hard to use. Their interface is really ridiculous. I’ve worked a few posts for them, but honestly, I just don’t understand why each job shows up in ten places. And when the job is over, shouldn’t it disappear or something? I don’t know. I don’t like this site. I’m thinking this […]
Ebooks for Success
Send me some recommendations, please. I know Guy Lecke’s keywords cracker was very insightful. I’m sure you SEO wizards have all used the Google keyword tool to see how popular certain search terms are, but then there’s all that other info, like CPM and CPC, what’s up with that? Is it better to use the […]
Now Anyone can get Paid to Blog
NOTICE- this was written in 2008, in regards to an older version of PayPerPost. Izea now has Social Spark, which is one of the programs I was writing about in this 2011 post Wasted Effort Totally Pays Off. (which, incidentally, refers to the very same blogs that I was talking about in the following post) […]
