Help from the NJFM Community
Sometimes I get emails for help that I feel would be handled better if I share it with the NJFM community. I like helping folks, but my experience and knowledge is limited. Another of my favorite sayings is, “You don’t have to know the answers; you just have to know were to go to get [...]
Smelling the Roses
I think I need to take a little time to smell the roses. Over the past four years I’ve spent quite a bit of time writing on line. I’ve spent quite a bit of time wasting my time online too. It just seems that I always have a computer attached to the end of my [...]
A Little Spreadsheet Tip
There are a few things I do with the Income/Article Spreadsheet that might help to make your day easier. For you folks who are spreadsheet junkies, you can skip this post because I’m not going to talk about anything new or earth shattering, just something that I do to make my life easier. Column Headings [...]
Could it be My Cookies?
I need a little help from you guys. When I first uploaded the Income/Article Tracking Spreadsheet, I realized that I had forgotten to insert the auto update feature for the column headings for each month. In other words, if you change the column headings in January, it was supposed to auto update the headings for [...]
A Shout Out to Christina at Cash Campfire
Check out this clever post by Christina over at Cash Campfire. Christina managed to pull off interviews at the busiest time of the year, compile them in an extensive post and display it brilliantly on her blog. Christina, my hat is off to you. Great job and I believe it will pay off handsomely for [...]
NJFM Income/Article Tracking Spreadsheet
You all know that I’m a numbers junkie and I track a host of stats when it comes to my online writing. My stats are helping me to determine what and where to write in 2011 (I’ll get into more detail about that in a later post). In the meanwhile, I’d like to share a [...]
My Traveling Office
The weather is cold and I’d much prefer walking in a warm balmy climate, but I find that walking for a couple of miles does much to clear my mind and help my writing flow (no matter how cold it is). The only problem with going for a walk is that my best ideas seem [...]
Time to Join the Double O Club
I feel that I’ve been playing around with this freelance writing stuff long enough. No matter how my residual income fluctuates, I’ve decided to enter and remain in the Double O Club. The Double O Club means that I can calculate my minimum daily income by tacking two zeros on the back of the date. [...]
I’m a Writer Not a Journalist
Every once in a while I allow myself to roam around the internet reading other writing sites or forums. Without fail, I’ll come across a few posts or forum threads that are less than flattering to online writers. Often times the comments are from folks who have extensive experience writing in off line publications and [...]
A Few Things I Learned about Writing for the Web
From time to time I get the opportunity to help out a few newbies by reviewing an article or two and offering advice. I preface this by saying that I’m no expert when it comes to writing on the web. It’s just that I’ve been around the block a time or two so I get [...]
A Rather Humbling Experience
Words of warning…don’t take writing advice from me! The other day I came across the Newsroom 101 website. It’s a site that will put your grammatical and writing skills to the test. They have thousands of free exercises, tutorials and general helpful information for anyone looking to make a living as a writer, especially journalistic [...]
Welcome to the Buffet
On occasion I like to cook a lot. When I do cook a large quantity of food, I pull out the heating dishes, arrange the food buffet style and invite my guest to partake. In addition to the food I provide the necessary plates, spoons forks, dishes, napkins, cups and beverage. My guests are free [...]
Oh No She Didn’t!!!
Let me calm down for a minute before I complete this post…. Okay, I’m calm. Yesterday a young college student looking to earn money for a scholarship came to my house asking if we would sign up for a magazine subscription. The credit for the magazine would help her score points for her scholarship. Having [...]
It’s All About Passion!
This is a quick post, but I wanted to give a shout out to Will Leon. Will is a passionate Tennessee Titans fan. Quite a while ago Will created a blog with googobs of great information on the Titans and its players but he let it go dormant for a while. Will recently revived his [...]
Sometimes There’s Not Much to Say
I realized that I haven’t posted here for about a week or so. This post is to touch base with you guys to let you know I didn’t fall off the face of the earth. It seems that real life has been getting between me and my keyboard. Careful What You Wish (Plan) For Many [...]
