Back in my days as a full-time employee, my dream was to be able to telecommute. Telecommuting meant working the same job but just doing it from home while remaining in full communication with the office. By telecommuting I could buy back some of my time, but I had to make sure [...]

I would be remiss if I were to constantly encourage writers to build a steam of residual income without also encouraging writers to commit to making healthy choices. The reason for the double commitment (residual income & health) is because they compliment each other.
Finding a Balance
It is extremely easy to become so focused on [...]
No matter how hard I try, summer is having its way with me. With the entire family home it’s been difficult to write.
After experiencing this writing slump (not totally self inflicted), I realize that I have to make a few changes in my writing strategy. Next year I’ll be prepared for the summer [...]
The other day I was talking to my brother about work, writing, jobs, etc. He’s a successful executive and travels extensively. There are times when he’s out of town more days in a month than at home. For his troubles, he’s paid handsomely.
Being more of a free spirit I enjoyed earning money according to my [...]

Recently we’ve been dealt a rather large dose of life. From time to time we all have to deal with things that are out of the ordinary. Sometimes the life doses are small and other times they’re large. This time life dealt us a biggie.
The wonderful thing about being a freelance writer [...]
Sometimes you don’t realize you have a treasure until someone inquires about it.
The other day one of my readers asked about whether or not it was worth writing for Suite 101. Her question was more about time than money. Most folks want guaranteed payment up front for their hard work. Not to [...]
I’ve been challenging myself to find articles everywhere. Whether I’m in the grocery store, walking around the lake or spending family time, everything and everyone is a potential article or blog post.
Imagine my surprise when unsolicited material for this blog landed in my lap. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve gotta share this [...]
If you have already upgraded your system to Windows Vista, then you’re in possession of a valuable freelance writing tool. As you know, I recently purchased a new laptop equipped with Windows Vista. While I’m proving not to be a huge fan of Windows Vista, I must admit that I think I’m smitten with their [...]

Sharon, you're right. Creating the site and finding the keywords is the easy part. Getting people to read ...
Thanks for your response Felicia ;)
I have been better about keywords on my main site as I have been learning ... Hi Sharon,
I’m glad you felt comfortable enough to comment (I too am a lurker on several blogs and forums).
