Somebody hid the wonder wheel

mrshannigan — Sat, 11 Sep 2010 17:07:10 +0000

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 [...]

Complete loss of credibility

mrshannigan — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:46:31 +0000

I’m weird, I know it. I’m not a consumer. I don’t spend my weekends at the mall. In fact, the only time I go to the mall is when my teenagers are there hanging out with their friends. Sometimes we trick-or-treat there, but not every year. I hate it. I hate the smell of plastic. [...]

Writing for Bukisa, One year anniversary

mrshannigan — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:35:24 +0000

If you haven’t heard of Bukisa as a writing site, it’s probably because it’s not taken very seriously as a source of income. The site pays on a monthly $/1000 which changes, based on the previous month’s earnings for the entire site. Consequently, crappy articles are paid at the same rate as good articles, and [...]

Textbroker… nevermind

mrshannigan — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 14:05:19 +0000

I haven’t been over to textbroker for a while. There are a few reasons.

#1- I’ve faxed in my w9 and apparently they didn’t get it. Even though the fax machine said the transmission succeeded and all the other documents I sent that day, to several other companies were received just fine. I don’t have [...]

Free eBook Introduction to WebWriting

mrshannigan — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 22:28:20 +0000

One of my favorite people in the webwriting business is Felicia from No Job for Mom. She has a professional yet friendly voice and shares her experiences so generously in her website. I love that she’s a mom who has made this business work and I’ve learned so much from her over the years.

She’s [...]

OMG I’m writing for DS again

mrshannigan — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 03:17:10 +0000

So, much to my surprise, I’m currently registered as a writer at Demand Studios.

Again.

If you don’t know the back story, here’s a link to the drama: OMG I got fired from DS

When Eve originally informed me of their decision, I sent a response, stating my side of the story. I sent a note [...]

Your Free Work Number

mrshannigan — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 18:49:32 +0000

Are you like me- do you HATE the idea of having your home phone number online for everyone to have access to, but you understand some of your clients might prefer to communicate via phone. They hire YOU to be their internet person because they don’t enjoy it. So like it or not, sometimes we [...]

Get Paid to Read Articles

mrshannigan — Sun, 09 May 2010 18:38:21 +0000

When you’re sick of writing and still need to do SOMETHING online, sign up for Readbud and get paid to read articles online.

I was referred to the site through Shanna Banana at wahm.com and she’s done pretty well with the site. You need to get to $50 for the payment threshold. I made 41 [...]

In Defense of Schizophrenia in the Online Workplace

mrshannigan — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:36:18 +0000

So- I found a great website about working at home. The articles were informative, relevant and interesting. I decided to follow the site’s owner on twitter, because there was an icon in the sidebar.

Once I saw her twitter homepage, though, I changed my mind.

Her twitterstream was filled with horrific news stories, not helpful [...]

How to find new writing sites before anyone else

mrshannigan — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 21:17:02 +0000

There are new websites offering opportunities for writers every day. It starts like a wave. One website is formed on the message boards of another website. Discontented or financially inspired contributors (or designers or editors) from one website decide to jump in and create their own. It’s happening a lot right now. Some sites will [...]
