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 my [...]

Slow and Steady Wins the Suite Race

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 [...]

Using Google Analytics

I’m sooo confused.
Some time ago I added Google Analytics code on a few of my sites to get a better feel statistically on how they’re actually doing.  Being the statistic watcher that I am, I thought “What the heck.  It couldn’t hurt.”  Well, no I don’t think it hurts, but it does confuse.

And the Sourpuss Award Goes 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.
