Blogging, Mobile Devices and Compatibility
Back in July of 2008 I wrote a blog post on how to make a WordPress blog mobile phone compatible. Fast forward to a few days ago when I received a comment from Amy Young. She reminded me that blogs should be mobile compatible. I knew that at one point in time No Job for [...]
Demand Studios Closes WCA Program
Well it looks like Demand Studios is no longer accepting articles under the Writer Created Assignment Program. I happened to sign in to check my earnings and saw the notification. Mosey over to Deanna’s blog, The Write Mom, for a full write up. Although I’m concentrating 99% of my writing efforts on my own endeavors, [...]
I’m Gonna Hate Myself in the Morning
I’m back as the Insurance Feature Writer on Suite 101. Why did I do it? Easy, the drop in writing requirement. When Suite dropped the required writing from one article a week to one a month, I realized it was something I could do. My earnings at Suite have tanked but my 2011 per article [...]

If you look under the Opportunities section, you’ll find a host of sites that utilize [...]
Learning by Trial and Error
In my last post I mentioned that I was concentrating on making niche sites. Well, I’m still working niche number two and have decided to turn it into an “authority” site. What’s the difference between a niche site and an authority site? I think of a niche site as a small tightly focused site with [...]
Fitting a Square Peg in a Round Hole
As some of you may know I’m on a diversification quest (after Panda, most of us are). To that end I’m attempting to create niche sites. My initial goal was to search for products that I either use or endorse and create niche sites around them promoting the product. In addition to selling the product, [...]
