No Job For Mom

Keep Honing Your Writing Skills

More than learning the proper SEO techniques and how to rank high in the search engines, freelance writers must know how to write. It's important to spend a little time honing your craft. After all, if you land a gig for an off line magazine, your SEO skills won't be needed, but your writing skills will be.

Happy December 1st!

I heard on the news today that America is officially in a recession (like we needed the TV news to tell us). In spite of the economic outlook, I don’t think there has ever been a more lucrative time to be a freelance writer. More and more writing opportunities are popping up all over the [...]

Happy Thanksgiving to All

Even if you don’t celebrate the American Thanksgiving holiday, take a little time from you busy day to think thankful thoughts. The fact that you have the ability to access a computer and use your eyes to see this post is something to be thankful for. It may seem like a little task, but it’s [...]

Hitting the Wall - TwitWall

It’s amazing. There seems to be a whole other world going on behind my computer screen and I chose not to be a part of it. Well, two days ago I stepped into that world and my life hasn’t been the same. I’m talking about the world of Twitter. Twitter World Check out my past couple of [...]

What a Twittering Time

Whew, I spent an untold amount of time on Twitter yesterday. I was fiddling around with my background image, reading other Tweets, learning about how to add RSS Feeds and trying to understand how to respond to folks. With all of the Twittering, I didn’t get as much writing done as I wanted [...]

Chirp, Chirp, Tweet, Tweet - No Job for Mom is on Twitter

Well, I finally took the plunge. I joined Twitter (twitter.com/nojobformom). Don’t expect too much initially. I’m still peddling with my training wheels on. As a matter of fact, I’m not even using my own pedal strength. I’m coasting along and reading other tweets. Not being one to tweet just for the [...]

My eHow Statistical Trend

Keeping meticulous stats of your eHow articles isn't really such a bad idea. If it wasn't for my stat keeping, I might have gotten discouraged a long time ago.

Bukisa - Help Your Network Help You

Since I joined Bukisa and have been lucky enough to have a couple of people sign up as a result, I found that Bukisa does one more thing that eHow doesn’t do. Wait let me see if I can phrase this without sounding extremely self-centered. Helping Others eHow has a great online community. The forums [...]

What’s the Twitter about Twitter?

I’ve come across the mention of Twitter on several blogs. Several well-respected blogs, I might add. I haven’t joined and am wondering what the fascination with it is. Yesterday was the first time that I even “used” Twitter. Well, I didn’t really use it, I followed Bukisa’s Twitter link because it had the [...]

Bukisa - Another Money Making Opporunity for Freelance Writers

Bukisa is a startup content providing site that pays freelance writers residual income based on a per page view basis. Unlike sites like eHow and Suite 101 that pay writers based on a portion of ad clicks, Bukisa pays writers on a set rate per thousand page views. For me this is a new format [...]
