Ignatius,

Wow! I’m glad you told me about the use of APA style writing. Now that I know that AP style should be used, I’ll definitely do research on it.

As far as monetizing my own websites, the research that I have done lead me to some understanding about SEO optimization, adsense and infolinks. I don’t know if using these tactics will be the only way to monetize my sites without selling anything however, I’m still willing to move forward in my research to find out.

Thanks for steering me in the right path. I see that newbies have a lot to learn. I am definitely glad to have found Felicia’s blog.

Some blogs do make money with just Adsense and Infolinks. Do some research on how to “monetize” a blog. There is plenty of information out there. Avoid the “get rich quick” sites that just want to sell you a product or an ebook. It’s going to take you some research time and some hands-on time setting up websites to learn how to make money with your own sites.

I’m glad you found Felicia’s blog because she gives a very realistic view of the process of making money online.

Leticia,
APA style is for academic writing. AP (Associated Press) is a journalistic style that many of the web content places use. Academic writing is usually in third person. That tends to sound stilted on a website.

I have heard good things about Grammarly, but you should learn AP style if you want to write for content producers. If you search for “AP Style” you should be able to find some sites that discuss the key rules. If you do a lot of content writing, it’s a good idea to buy an AP Stylebook or subscribe to their web version.

I don’t want to quench your optimism, but I think $100,000 a year in your first year of online writing is very unrealistic. It is possible, but very few writers hit that.
