Almost a year ago, I wrote about my Suite101 earnings, because one writer made $5000 in a month and they finally told us we were allowed to discuss our income. I’m revisiting that topic this year because the industry has changed a little, so have my earnings and my writing habits and Suite101’s best practices […]
SEO writing
SEO browser plugins for Chrome
I use a mini laptop, so I don’t have a lot of screen space. In exchange, I get to take my computer everywhere my busy lifestyle needs me. I have six kids who are always wanting to go to a friend’s house, to tap dancing classes, jazz, singing, drama, the library, girl scouts, science club, […]
Free Download – URL Tracker
I mentioned this spreadsheet the other day in a post called “If you’ve been writing online for over a year, do this NOW.” BUT… your life as a web writer would be so much easier if you didn’t wait until you’ve been writing a year to use this form. Imagine… you publish a mere 1 […]
Newest writing site that I love
OK, this one isn’t new and I can’t even say that it’s new to me. I signed up for Constant Content apparently in November of 2008. I’m not sure what the process was like (is it a sign-up or an application? I don’t remember) All I know is that I kept getting these emails every […]
Magic List of Successful Keywords
I got another request for “good keywords” and unfortunately, I can’t just GIVE anyone good keywords. It’s not about the keywords. It’s about the combination of keywords that are good for different reasons. Hopefully this 3000 word article will explain 🙂 SEO for freelance web marketers (and that is exactly what content writers are) is […]
Q- How much time should you spend promoting your articles?
A- none. I know there are advocates out there for massive article-promotion campaigns, but I’m not one of them and I’ll tell you why. #1- your article is REALLY only interesting to a few people- people who SEARCH google, yahoo, bing, etc for that information. If your SEO is on target, they will find it. […]
How to Analyze your eHow Stats
One important thing to understand when you’re trying to make a living by writing online is how to analyze your statistics. Each website gives you access to different factors and information. Learning how to “fill in the gaps” is the best way for you to determine which articles are bringing in the most income and […]
It took me forever to figure this out
(Free SEO Video Course ) And here are a couple of guys who mastered it and make almost $100k a month. DAYUMM or should I say SHAZAMM because my kids are in the room. I was reading the Suite101 forums and someone posted this video- awesome- awesome- totally CLICKED for me. Most of this I […]
NEVER miss these opportunities
If you’re working for residual income, here are some things that should make your eyes perk up when you’re browsing the web. #1- rather crappy websites that don’t appear to be Search Engine Optimized, yet seem to get a lot of traffic. I found one the other day that said something like this: I started […]
Suite101 earnings
SO- last month, Suite101 nnounced that one of our fellow writers had just about reached the $5000 mark for August Earnings (or was it July?) Either way- that’s so darned inspiring. We all guessed and estimated and stalked eachother out, and finally they announced who the lucky lady was. She was definitely on my short-list, […]
