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 […]
Writing Process for webwriters
On writer’s message boards, occasionally someone new will ask seasoned writers about our process. What steps do we go through in the writing process, to write fast web copy that (hopefully) doesn’t suck? The process that works for me is so different from what I’m being asked to do in school (did I mention I’m […]
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 […]
Design Your Writing Career
Everyone in my “real life” doesn’t know what I do for a living. It’s not that I’m secretive, it’s just that people assume a homeschooling mom of six is plenty busy enough, right? In fact, about 6 months into this business, when I was working several hours a day to build up my body of […]
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 […]
Break Studios Review
OK, so I’ve been writing for Break Studios for almost 2 weeks now. I promised I’d write up a review once I had them figured out. They’re really laid back, compared to Demand Studios. The titles are also really different. the pay is also significantly lower. So far, it’s balancing out, though. I’m able to […]
For the record
I’m writing a book now. There are lots of new things to learn. Before I get started too much, I want to thank google, Suite101 and eHow for giving me creating an environment where I have the freedom to get paid without working so much. Carry on while i climb down from the rooftop and […]
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 […]
