Free Report- Write today, get paid today. TODAY!!!

I can’t even explain how often a frantic writer will reach out on the freelance writing forums, pleading for overflow assignments, with such catastrophes as “My power will be shut off tomorrow” or “If I wait until payday I will have a $50 fee” or “I need enough in my paypal to put gas in [...]

Comparing Paid Blogging Companies

mrshannigan — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 17:23:55 +0000

OK- I have been rocking the paid blog posts lately. I mentioned a few weeks ago (in the post: Wasted effort pays off) that I have a bunch of old blogspot blogs that I’ve brought back to life for paid blogging, since they all have PRs of 2-5. Yes, I am a sellout! But it’s [...]

Somebody hid the wonder wheel

My story has been repeated a hundred times this week, by other niche bloggers- but if you’re not reading them, you might not have known. It starts like this-

I’m building a niche site (first new one in 2010)

I need to choose my categories. I want them related. I want google to see me [...]

Important WordPress Plugins for Paid Blogging

mrshannigan — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:11:31 +0000

I’ve been having a lot of fun making easy money with Blogsvertise, a paid blogging site. It’s easy to register, then add all of your URLS into their system, so advertisers can make you offers. Sometimes they want links, sometimes they want to post poorly written “guest blog” entries. Honestly, I don’t care what they [...]

Why you should never go to Amazon.com

mrshannigan — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:35:17 +0000

A boycott of Amazon- she must be kidding, right? Relax- I wasn’t calling for a boycott, I was just asking you to never simply type Amazon.com into your browser, that’s all. Whether you’re spending $5 or $500- somewhere there’s a work-at-home mom who could conceivably make a few pennies from the sale. My Amazon.com earnings [...]

How to Write a Roundup Article

mrshannigan — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 18:41:33 +0000

Roundup articles are a little like “freebies” for web content writers. Presumably you’ve been writing in the same niche for a while and have several articles about a few very precise topics.

Mini Touchscreen Laptop - irrelevant but awesome

A roundup article is basically a compilation of all those articles, with links to several [...]

note to self: never publish this

mrshannigan — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 17:27:18 +0000

I keep a page with this title on each one of my sites, saved as a draft or password protected. I use it as a general “things to do next” and a place to document the invisible work I’ve done on the site. It’s amazing that I can remember what each of my six kids [...]

Suite101 earnings, revisited

mrshannigan — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 01:36:04 +0000

Almost a year ago, I wrote about my Suite101 earnings, because one writer made $5000 in a month and they finally told us we were allowed to discuss our income.

I’m revisiting that topic this year because the industry has changed a little, so have my earnings and my writing habits and Suite101′s best practices

Easy free solution to a writer’s emergency

How to Access Clipboard History

It’s my own fault: I should be writing in a word processing program, instead of directly into the edit box at Suite101. In my defense, I was out of the habit for a while because their interface didn’t support the Chrome browser. So instead of using Internet Explorer or Firefox, [...]

How to Report a Website for Violating Adsense TOS

mrshannigan — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 02:48:49 +0000

I landed on a website the other day that had like 5 Adsense blocks and several more link units. If you’re running Google’s Adsense on your site, you need to familiarize yourself with their terms of service because you’re only allowed to use three of each on a page. I’m glad I skimmed over them [...]
