Diversify for Sanity

There’s the eHow GRRRRR, the Suite 101 question as to whether or not it’s a Canadian holiday, and the Kontera notification of internal software update errors . All sites have issues updating their numbers from time to time. Whether it’s the page views or the income numbers, there are times (it seems to be happening [...]

Working vs Socializing – How to Strike a Balance

In addition to the striking a balance between residual and active income, there’s also another balance I found that is necessary to strike as an online writer. That’s the balance between working and socializing. Over time, I’ve found that working on line can be an extremely social experience. You can conceivably spend your entire day [...]

Changes at Today.com

I’ve heard rumblings about the goings on over at Today.com. In an earlier post I mentioned how I signed up to blog there. I guess I jumped on the bandwagon just at the right time.

Handling Rejection

It’s a good thing that I don’t have thin skin. A few weeks ago I applied to write for Bright Hub. From time to time, I apply to new potential revenue generating sources to see if I can add it to my freelance writing basket. Sometimes it works out well and then there are times [...]

A Little Gmail Problem

I guess it’s time for me to either consolidate or backup my Gmail accounts. I couldn’t believe it when one of my accounts was suspended. The sad part of it is that I don’t know why it was suspended. I used that particular email address so infrequently that I can’t recall the necessary information I [...]

Inserting Amazon Affiliate Links

This post is a response to a comment that I received on my eHow – The Gift that Keeps Giving post. In the earlier post I mentioned that I use my Amazon affiliate links in some of my eHow articles. I wasn’t very explicit when I wrote the post and it generated a comment question [...]

Traditional Jobs vs Earning Money Online

I think people are becoming more open to thinking about online opportunities. Initially, in the year of the dinosaurs, there was a common view that it was impossible to earn money on the internet. It was believed that every opportunity was either a scam or MLM. I remember (yes I am that old) when the [...]
