 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).

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 [...]
Peeking Out of the Sandbox
About a month ago I wrote how my new site was an apparent victim of the Google Sandbox. My strategy for getting the blog out of the sandbox is the exact same strategy I used for getting it tossed in the sandbox. My strategy was to post high-quality articles to the site once a week [...]
eHow to Remove WCP Articles from Site
In the back of our minds we knew it would happen eventually. We always wondered when eHow would no longer offer payouts for the user-generated articles written under the WCP. We no longer have to worry or wonder. That day has come. eHow has made an offer to purchase the existing articles currently appearing on [...]
Is No Job for Mom Obsolete?
After Panda gave a swipe at the content farms with his chubby little paw, I had to stop and wonder, “Is NJFM obsolete?” After all, this blog is heavily based on earning money as a freelance writer through residual sources. 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 [...]
Thank You Panda
I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and in the long run it works out for the better. Sometimes you have to reach real deep inside to find the lesson or the bright side, but it’s always there. It has only been a little over a month since the Panda came out [...]
Learning from the Suite 101 Google Smack Down
Let me start this post by admitting I’m not an Internet expert. I’m just a woman who liked creating websites, playing around with images and writing. My website creation, writing and photo hobby turned into a full-time career. Those are my only qualifications when it comes to this Internet beast. That being said, I learned [...]
Google, Content Farms and Diversification
If you write for Suite, HubPages or some of the other “content farms” you may have noticed a drop in traffic in the last day or two. The traffic drop is most likely due to recent changes in Google’s algorithm. Diversify, Diversify, Diversify You’ve heard it before and it bears repeating again. If you have [...]
Serenity Now
I had to interrupt my 4-year online writing recap to inject this minor vent and wake up call. For those of you who watched the TV show Seinfield, you know what I’m talking bout when I say “Serenity Now.” For those of you who are not familiar with the show, here’s a clip of what [...]
Roses, Writing and Epiphany
Something happened to me over the past year while I was busy sitting on the couch with the laptop attached to the end of my fingers. I didn’t notice it so much until I decided to get out to smell the roses. You see, while I was busy writing, someone came by and attached 7 [...]
