Searching through Demand Studios Titles
Regular readers know that I’m on a mission to increase my monthly income by 10% each month. Actually, I changed the percentage from 10 to 15% (maybe I need to do a different post outlining the effect of increasing your income by 15% each month instead of 10%). Holidays Happen Of course over the holidays [...]
Life after eHow
I often get e-mails asking how life has been after eHow. My only regret with eHow shutting down its writing program as it did is that I was in the middle of yet another experiment which came to a screeching halt. So rather than perform my experiment on the eHow website, I’ve decided to look [...]
Let the Poaching Begin…
The eHow upheaval is causing a feeding frenzy. Just imagine how happy some of the other, less popular (or even popular) content sites were to hear that there are so many disgruntled eHowers. They stand to gain an influx of new writers, content and hopefully readers. I found it interesting to receive an email yesterday [...]
Ruffled eHow Feathers
Further to yesterday’s post, I spent some time reading a particularly lively forum thread over at eHow. The thread reminded me why I don’t visit the forums very often. I usually visit them when there is a software issue or a major change to the site. Usually, if I page through the various comments, I [...]

How to Get Accepted as a Demand Studios Writer
I often receive e-mails from newbies asking how to get accepted as a writer for Demand Studios. This is a difficult question for me to answer because I applied to Demand Studios a year or two ago. Back then all I had to provide was a resume, a writing sample or two and advise them [...]

Post to Demand Studio Writers
I’ve received anonymous comments and emails regarding my last post on the Demand Studios affiliate links. In response to those emails (and anonymous comments) I feel I must apologize for the outcome of my post. I’ve shared many “secrets” on my blog that have benefited the writing community. Each time I share a secret there [...]
Demand Studios $15 plus residuals?
Wouldn’t it be nice if in addition to the $15 up front pay for Demand Studio articles you could earn residual income? Well, you can (Shhh – don’t know if it’s a secret or not, but lean in closer and I’ll tell you). Amazon Links I’ve decided to make my hard work for Demand Studios [...]
