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 […]

How to Write a Roundup Article
Roundup articles are a little like “freebies” for web content writers. Presumably you’ve been writing in the same niche for a while and have several articles about a few very precise topics. A roundup article is basically a compilation of all those articles, with links to several of them. An example of one of my […]
note to self: never publish this
I keep a page with this title on each one of my sites, saved as a draft or password protected. I use it as a general “things to do next” and a place to document the invisible work I’ve done on the site. It’s amazing that I can remember what each of my six kids […]
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 […]
Textbroker… nevermind
I haven’t been over to textbroker for a while. There are a few reasons. #1- I’ve faxed in my w9 and apparently they didn’t get it. Even though the fax machine said the transmission succeeded and all the other documents I sent that day, to several other companies were received just fine. I don’t have […]

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 […]
Suite101 earnings, revisited
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 […]
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 […]
OMG I’m writing for DS again
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 […]
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 […]
