If you look on the right-hand side of this blog you see ads in little squares of 125 x 125. I’m able to display those ads because I purchased a software called OIO Publisher. It’s an ad management software.
I came across the software because as I mentioned before I want to take [...]
Earning Money
Monetizing a Blog with OIO Publisher Software
August to August to August
Often times when I feel that I’m making slow progress, I have to take time to see where I came from to determine if I’m actually headed in the right direction.
One of the best ways for me to see if I’m headed in the right direction or if I should change my course is to [...]
Realizing Another Dream
This post might be a bit long, and I apologize up front for its length. Over this holiday weekend I had a few long talks with myself (I had similar talks when I was considering whether or not to quit my job and work full time as a freelance writer and similarly when I [...]

Add Financial Stocking Stuffers to Your Blogs
I was looking at my August earnings and realized that without my stocking stuffers, I would have to work a little harder to reach my financial goals. My first long term goal is to earn $166.66 per day (that’s $5,000 in monthly residual income). Every goal in between is a mini-goal.
So far I’m [...]

Working Smarter to Enjoy Google Favor
Recently I tried an unscientific experiment. I wrote three articles all targeting the same keywords. Although the keywords were the same, each article was unique, approaching the topic from a different angle. I then decided to place one article on Suite 101, one on HubPages and one on eHow.
After posting the articles [...]
Prepare Now for Next Summer
I’ve mentioned before, but I’m saying it again. I don’t want to work next summer. That sounds weird coming form a person whose job is being a freelance writer from home, but it’s true nonetheless.
This summer was great, but I found that I still had to keep up with my writing obligations. [...]
Playing the Weekly Writing Paycheck Game
Am I the only silly one or do you guys play the paycheck game? For those of you who are not familiar with the game, the object is to constantly increase one’s weekly paycheck from month to month.
Here are the rules:
The first month of the freelance writer’s paycheck game is all about setup [...]
