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 [...]
Oh that Elusive 63 Cents – July Earnings
Just last night I looked at my numbers and mentioned to my hubby that I was 63 cents shy of reaching $2,600 for the month. When I said it we both laughed because we both remembered when 63 cents was my entire monthly haul. In April of 2006 I earned $.63. It was my first [...]
Earning Residual Income as a Freelance Writer is Like Dancing
Good dancers are light on their feet. They must be able to quickly and gracefully shift their weight from one foot to the other along with the music. Really good dancers have fluid hand and body movements that accompany their footwork. One thing about a good dancer is that you know one when you see [...]
Extreme Heat and the Freelance Writer
The longer I work as an online freelance writer the more perks I find. Many of us are living through a pretty intense heat wave right now. I’m probably one of the few people that is thoroughly enjoying it. I’ve always had a preference for heat as opposed to cold. The only time the heat [...]
LeechBlock for Online Time Efficiency
I’m reading the 4 Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferriss for the second time. If you haven’t read it yet, I suggest you borrow it from your local library (as I’ve done) or purchase a copy. I’ve borrowed it twice from the library and think it’s time for me to purchase my own copy. What I [...]
Letting Go of Yesterday to Make Room for Tomorrow
With my new online writing strategy I decided to go through my existing blogs, my computer hard drive, my hosting account, databases and anything else that’s related to earning money online and clean out the deadwood. Because I’ve created and discontinued so many blogs, my HostGator account had quite a few unused databases so I [...]
Small Steps to Success
A long time ago I wanted to work from home. So now I do. After I worked from home I realized that I didn’t like the job-like feeling of writing for up-front paying sites, so now I write mainly for sites that pay on the residual model. I then realized I preferred creating my own [...]
Why NJFM Will Always be a Blog for Beginners
This blog gives beginners a glimpse into one person’s online writing journey. It is not a how to blog or a must follow blog. It’s just a blog chronicling my successes, failures and ideas. Why for Beginners I say it’s a blog for beginners because beginners usually lack confidence, have a lot of questions and [...]
The Other Side of the Writing Coin
I finally got around to putting my specs together in order to hire a few Textbroker writers to write some content for me. It was an interesting experience. The one thing I did learn about this experience is that I am a freelance writer. As a freelance writer I find it difficult to hire other [...]
Hyper Sensitivity and Point of View
This post is sort of a rant, but I guess it’s more of a commentary on the sad state of our hyper sensitivity. I received an email today from someone who read one of my older articles. This person apparently took exception to the fact that I used the words “darn it.” The article [...]
