At the end of 2008 I took inventory of my online writing. I went to each site, looked to see which articles were popular and which ones were not. I also looked to see which ones brought in the most money (with Suite 101 I could only look at article popularity since they don’t [...]

But What Color Were the Rocks?
I’m sure we all know someone who always seems to miss the mark. You know the type of person I’m talking about. They always seem to come up with questions that make you scratch your head and say “WHAT???”
Here’s an example:
Mary tells a heartwarming story about a little boy and his puppy taking [...]
Demand Studios Round 2
I started writing for Demand Studios again. My overall experience with them is positive, but there is one editor (I hope it’s only one), that causes me to wear out my Serenity prayer. I won’t go into details, but I ran one of her requests past several of my former insurance colleagues, and [...]

My 300th Post – Yawn!
This is my 300th post and it should be profound…It’s not!
I knew the 300th post was coming up, but it caught me at a time where I’m feeling a little singed around the edges.
Although my November earnings were higher than my October earnings, my residual income was down by a little over $200; nothing to [...]
A Wonderful Freelance Writing Resource
Well, it’s the day after Thanksgiving and I’m a bit stuffed. I tried not to eat too much, but not eating too much on Thanksgiving is like putting me on a computer and telling me not to check my Google AdSense earnings. It just can’t be done.
Anyway, not feeling like doing much writing [...]
Tap, Tap, Tap…Is This Thing On?
Helloooo.
Man, I think the internet is broken. I’ve been looking over my earnings and they seem to be down this month. The funny thing is that it’s not just one website, it’s across the board.
I can’t remember the last time my Suite daily earnings were in the single digit dollar range. Yesterday’s [...]
A NJFM Shout Out
I have to give a shout out to Grandma. Grandma is one of the frequent readers and contributors to this blog. She’s especially knowledgeable about the goings on over at Textbroker.
In the midst of her freelance writing Grandma discovered a need that was not being met by the existing ‘articles for sale’ type [...]
Where’s the Money?
Let me preface this by saying, I know Suite 101 is a legitimate site and that the current late payment is nothing to worry about. Having said that…
“Give me my money.”
My son and hubby love to watch the show the Family Guy. There’s something about a kid hating his mom stops me from [...]
Back on the Demand Studios Merry-go-Round
The other day I received an e-mail from Demand Studios asking me to update my bio. I had received a similar request before and chose to ignore it since I had not been writing for Demand Studios and didn’t see a need to update my bio.
Just for grins, I opened the e-mail expecting to [...]
QualityGal Updates Payment Structure
Earlier on, I had written a post on the writing site QualityGal. It has received a thumbs up from several of my readers.
Recently I received an email from Ashley from QualityGal. She wanted to let me know that QualityGal has revised their payment structure, and that effective November 1, their pay scale will be based [...]
