Long Overdue Post on Examiner.com
I’ve been a bit remiss in not writing about the popular content site Examiner.com. Examiner seems to be growing in popularity. Capitalizing on the “hyper local” trend, Examiner looks for writers to share their experience and expertise on localized geographic areas. Checking Examiner Out Since I’ve been sniffing around for new places to write, I [...]
A Neat Little FireFox SEO Extension
I’d like to take credit and say that I discovered a neat little FireFox Extension, but in all honesty, I didn’t discover it. I found out about this tool because I subscribe to the “WordPress How to Spotter” newsletter. Alex is a WordPress Plugin Guru, and he happened to write about this Firefox Extension. The [...]
Lessons Learned as an Online Freelance Writer
There are tons of self-help books, ebooks and blogs on how to become a successful freelance writer. I’ve read a few of them and I guess I’ll never make it big as a freelance writer. Maybe it’s my age, maybe it’s because I no longer feel the need to prove myself, or maybe it’s because [...]
How to Get Accepted as a Demand Studios Writer
I often receive e-mails from newbies asking how to get accepted as a writer for Demand Studios. This is a difficult question for me to answer because I applied to Demand Studios a year or two ago. Back then all I had to provide was a resume, a writing sample or two and advise them [...]
Switching Blog Themes: Is it Worth It?
Here’s the scoop. It’s quite obvious that NJFM is undergoing a transformation. The reason for the change is several fold: The old theme stopped working behind the scenes. There were too many errors and the load was too slow. I wanted something lighter and airier and easier for me to handle. NJFM, although I love [...]
I’ll Probably Hate Myself in the Morning
Ok, I admit it. I’m releasing a half-baked blog interface. I was quite tired of the old blog interface and knew that I needed something different. I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for so I spent time visiting other blogs in an attempt to get some ideas for my new WordPress theme. I [...]
Peek-A-Boo, I’m back (for now)
I woke up this morning to find that my site was nowhere to be found. Imagine my shock when I typed in my URL and found a blank white page. I’ve got to say, a white page is a nice place to start, but since I’ve been blogging here for a couple of years, a [...]
Long Term vs. Short Term
You guessed it. This is another post on earning residual income. The other day I was listening to an old copy of a Brian Tracy CD that my hubby had. My hubby is the ultimate positive thinker. The glass is ALWAYS half full with him. That’s a wonderful trait, but every once in a while [...]
Blogging, Writing Articles, Social Networking & Traffic
I recently received an email from a reader on the topic of networking and advertising. In essence, she wanted to know the best method for networking with other freelance writers and getting the word out about her new blog. I prefaced my response by saying that I’m probably not the best person to ask about [...]
What is Going on Over at eHow?
I’m in the process of conducting another eHow experiment so I set up a separate eHow account. No biggie, after all I set up my original account about a year and a half ago, so I’m no stranger to the process. Imagine my surprise when shortly after setting up the account (within hours), I received [...]
