 I've earned well over $100,000 writing online. I share my writing philosophy, insider tips and lessons learned in my Make Money Blogging book. $9.98 is a small investment to make when you consider all you stand to gain. Buy the book; you'll be glad you did (also available as an ebook).

When is a Blog Really a Dud?
My last post made me ask myself (and answer) the question of what to do with dud sites. First, before I tell you what I do with a site that I consider a dud, I need to define a dud. Keep in mind that this post is purely subjective and I strongly suggest that you [...]
The Pareto Principle is Alive and Well
Since we were in the house this weekend due to hurricane Irene, I got a chance to run a few numbers. Actually, running is the wrong word to use. I slowly and carefully raised my exhausted index finger to left mouse click on the Excel spreadsheet to quietly examine my numbers. You see, I needed [...]
How Many Bloggers Do You Know?
In your offline world, how many bloggers do you know? This question popped into my mind the other day as I was running. I set up my first site in 1999 (as pitiful as it looked) and didn’t get started blogging until 2008. When I earned my first 63 cents back in 2006, I didn’t [...]
4 ½ Years and 500 Posts to Achieve One Goal
It took 4 ½ years (I left my last part-time job on February 9, 2007 and today is August 4, 2011) and 500 posts later for me to reach one of my goals. Shortly after taking on line writing seriously one of my early dreams was to become self sufficient. In other words I wanted [...]
How Do You Drive Traffic?
I thought I’d write this post because every so often I receive comments about driving traffic to a blog or site. I’m not so crazy about the term driving traffic, because when you’re stuck in traffic, the only vehicle you can control is your own. On the internet super highway, your blog is your vehicle [...]
Another Plugin to Add to the List
As an addendum to My Favorite WordPress Plugins list, I just came across one called WP-CopyProtect. The purpose of this plugin is to make it harder for plagiarists to copy and paste your content. While on the topic of plagiarism, if you have your blog’s RSS feed set to “Full Text” I would suggest that [...]
My Favorite WordPress Plugins
I spend so much time setting up new WordPress sites that I thought I might share some of my favorite plugins. For me, browsing for WordPress plugins is much better than going shopping. It doesn’t cost a dime and you can improve your site’s functionality if you choose the right ones. Here are some that [...]
Sometimes It’s Not about Money
I was browsing over at Ken’s blog, The Freelancer Today, the other day. He wrote a poignant post about how writing online isn’t always about money. I agree wholeheartedly. His post was the inspiration for this one. When I started No Job for Mom I started it because I needed a place to put the [...]
An Interesting Article
My hubby sent this article to me yesterday and I wanted to share it with you guys. This is a short post for two reasons: It’s the Friday of Memorial Day weekend and I’ve got quite a bit to do My email account was hacked this morning and I’ve got damage control to do (sorry [...]
Rent or Own, Blogger or Self-Hosting
I often get emails asking whether or not Google’s Blogger is a good platform on which to begin a blog. My answer to this question is…it depends. Removing ourselves from the internet for a moment, let’s think about Tommy who just turned 18 and wants to move from his parent’s house. He has a little [...]
