Because you shouldn't have to leave the house to generate income.
I love that so many of you are wanting to support my romance writing by reading my books. Unfortunately, I made a promise to myself and my neighbor, a fellow author. I’m not revealing it until I have sold 1 million copies. It’s true and I’m not going back on a pact that’s been sealed […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
OK, so in the past my solution to working from home in spite of the fact that I have children was to lock myself in the bedroom and beg, bribe or otherwise encourage (mostly begging) them to leave me alone until this one task is complete. There’s never been a soundproof room in any of […]
Is it ethical to use my own website to complain about people who might be readers? I say “Yes, as long as it’s constructive.” I also think I might have just quoted myself in real-time for the first time ever. Do people do that? I guess I do. So here’s the thing: Stop Wasting Your […]
I can’t even explain how often a frantic writer will reach out on the freelance writing forums, pleading for overflow assignments, with such catastrophes as “My power will be shut off tomorrow” or “If I wait until payday I will have a $50 fee” or “I need enough in my paypal to put gas in […]
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 […]
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 […]
So, much to my surprise, I’m currently registered as a writer at Demand Studios. Again. If you don’t know the back story, here’s a link to the drama: OMG I got fired from DS When Eve originally informed me of their decision, I sent a response, stating my side of the story. I sent a note […]
