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).

The More Things Change…

The More Things Change…

…the more they stay the same. I’m having a full-circle moment. Many moons ago I created my online playground, Tidbits and Stuff. You guys know the story. It was a hand-coded site, then a WordPress site, then a Joomla site and now…I’m converting it back to a WordPress site. I expect the process to take [...]

Disable Twitter/Facebook Posting in Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Disable Twitter/Facebook Posting in Dragon NaturallySpeaking

Sometimes I like to use NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software to write my posts, articles or even my e-books. I started using voice recognition software a few years ago and haven’t quite mastered it yet. I decided to use it more so it could help me in my flurry of new writing activity. NaturallySpeaking 11.5 The [...]

LeechBlock for Online Time Efficiency

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 [...]

A Little Spreadsheet Tip

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.

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 [...]

NJFM Income/Article Tracking Spreadsheet

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 [...]

A Rather Humbling Experience

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 [...]

Google Indexing Speed

Google Indexing Speed

Some time ago, I wrote a post about switching one of my Google-step-child-sites from a hand coded site to a Joomla site. I made the switch because I originally hand coded the site several years ago and things have changed since then (and I’ve learned a lot since then). Not to belabor the point (for [...]

A Neat Little FireFox SEO Extension

A Neat Little FireFox SEO Extension

I’d like to take credit and say that I discovered a neat little FireFox Extension, but in all honesty, I didn’t discover it.  I found out about this tool because I subscribe to the “WordPress How to Spotter” newsletter.  Alex is a WordPress Plugin Guru, and he happened to write about this Firefox Extension. The [...]
