Jack of all trades, master of…
As a freelance writer, I find that I am a jack of all trades and a master of very few. Part of becoming a successful writer is the ability to do research, digest information and spit it out in your own way with your own flair. How well one does this can be a double-edged [...]
Adding HubPages to My Freelance Writing Arsenal
Very recently I became interested in HubPages. I became inspired to try HubPages after reading Lissie’s blog (If you haven’t visited her blog you should do so). It seems that her success with HubPages is similar to my success with Suite 101. She’s been with them for a couple of years and it’s paying off. [...]
The Evolution of an Employee’s Dream
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 to be accessible [...]
A Little Motherly Writing Advice
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 [...]
Summer is Having Its Way with My Writing Schedule
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 slump. [...]
Why I Love Residual Writing Income
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 [...]
A Blown eHow Opportunity
Today one of my articles was featured as the eHow of the day. Last week I was contacted by someone on staff regarding the main picture for the article. Apparently the size picture I use is smaller than the “eHow of the day programming tool” requires, so she asked if I would mind if she [...]
When Life Happens…
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 and dealing [...]
Slow and Steady Wins the Suite Race
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 sound like [...]
NaturallySpeaking vs. Vista Speech Recognition
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 [...]
