Oh No, Here She Goes Again with Her Stats…

When I don’t feel like writing, I play around with stats. From the number of stat related posts here on NJFM, you can see that it’s quite often that I don’t feel like writing. When I look at my stats I always wonder how much more money I would be making if I wrote more [...]

Google for Domains…Who Knew?

This may be old hat for a lot of you, but for some reason I was totally oblivious to Google for Domains. Apparently the feature has been available for awhile and the link has been on my Google AdSense account, but I never paid it any mind. Yesterday, I decided to look into it. I [...]

Writing Code of Ethics

I’ve said a time or two here on NJFM that my goal is to help other writers by sharing my freelance writing experiences, thoughts and tips. When searching for new writing opportunities I keep in mind that not all writers come from America and therefore cannot participate in some of the opportunities presented here. For [...]

iNJFM: Monetizing a Blog with Zazzle

I recently received an email from a writer asking for advice on how to earn money from her own writing site. I probably should have answered, “When I start making money from my site, I’ll let you know.” Don’t get me wrong, I do earn some money here, but just about all of my other [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I Liked January, 2010…Sort Of

Things seem to be turning around on the residual income front. I’m back on track for hitting the $2,000 residual income mark (haven’t hit it yet, but it’s getting closer). I owe most of my income turnaround to eHow and Suite 101. They had to compensate for my dropping AdSense numbers. Those blasted AdSense numbers [...]
