A Melancholy Observation
In my hiatus from writing for money I was able to see which sites have been truly passive. Currently, Suite 101 and Demand Studios revenue share fall under the truly passive category for me. I haven’t written an article for Suite since May 4, 2011 and my last revenue share for DMS was written on [...]
Demand Studios Closes WCA Program
Well it looks like Demand Studios is no longer accepting articles under the Writer Created Assignment Program. I happened to sign in to check my earnings and saw the notification. Mosey over to Deanna’s blog, The Write Mom, for a full write up. Although I’m concentrating 99% of my writing efforts on my own endeavors, [...]
Demand Media Studios: Segmentation Changes (aka Beta Tests)
Demand Media Studios is making a few changes. I’m not quite sure how things will pan out but until the segmentation changes are fully explained, DMS writers are feeling a bit uneasy. My buddy Ken over at The Freelancer Today is right on top of things. He’s putting together a list of writing venues that [...]
New DMS Format
I know that Demand Media Studios gets bashed around a lot on line. Despite the fact it is one of the few places online that consistently pays (and twice a week at that) it does get negative press. I’m guilty of bashing them a time or two (well not really bashing DMS, just airing frustrations [...]
DMS WCA Compared To…
A few months ago I wrote a few WCA (Writer Created Assignments) articles for Demand Media Studios. In total I have 5 WCA articles. I wrote the first article in June of 2010. In comparison, I have 18 articles on Bukisa (first one written in November of 2008) and 23 Hubs over at HubPages. I [...]
A Different Flavor for November
I achieved the October Double O goal, but I’m entering November in a more reflective mood. While it was great earning over $3,100 in October, it came at a pretty high price. I wrote far too many articles for Demand Studios (78 in total). This month I’m putting Demand Studios on the back burner. The [...]
Double O Club – An Expensive Ticket Price
I’ve said it before, and I guess I’m not a quick learner, so I’ve got to say it again (more for my own benefit). I’m losing money by writing for Demand Studios. Here’s the Scoop As you know, I’ve been working on joining the Double O club this month. Because my residual income is below [...]
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. [...]
Lessons Learned from Demand Studios
Writing for Demand Studios is an interesting adventure. It constantly teaches me more about myself. For example, this weekend I learned that I’d rather be rich than the right (at least when it comes to DS). Let me explain. Over the past few days I wrote several articles for DS. The articles were on a [...]
Demand Studios WCA Results
I finally tried it. Over the last two weeks I wrote two WCAs (Writer Created Assignment) for Demand Studios. After reviewing my eHow earnings and comparing them to my other writing venues, I figured that I should at least give it a try. Edits and Modifications As a general rule, once my article is accepted, [...]
