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 [...]

Pros and Cons of Joining Blog Networks

mrshannigan — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 15:27:07 +0000

Someone recently wrote in asking about the Demand Studios Blog Network and I was impressed because I hadn’t heard of it before. There are other networks out there, like BlogLines, Technorati, Media Caffeine, Networked Blogs on Facebook (and really, there are several more) but how do you choose? Is it smart to join all of [...]

Right place at the right time- SWEET

I know you skim over marketing emails, too. 90% of them are just spam- designed to remind you that you once thought something was interesting enough to add yourself to an email list. But the fact is, for me anyhow, that if I don’t buy it right away, chances are that I won’t even open [...]

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 [...]

Design Your Writing Career

Everyone in my “real life” doesn’t know what I do for a living. It’s not that I’m secretive, it’s just that people assume a homeschooling mom of six is plenty busy enough, right? In fact, about 6 months into this business, when I was working several hours a day to build up my body of [...]

Your Free Work Number

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 [...]

If you've been writing online for over a year, do this NOW

mrshannigan — Sat, 29 May 2010 23:26:38 +0000

OK, after you read this, you will understand why I think you should have an annual meeting with yourself, to knock out this important task. Ready?

So every year you’re writing these articles that are evergreen, yes, but also sometimes seasonal, right? You’ve got a handful of Valentine’s Day articles, a few back-to-school articles and [...]

Newest writing site that I love

mrshannigan — Fri, 28 May 2010 05:36:38 +0000

OK, this one isn’t new and I can’t even say that it’s new to me. I signed up for Constant Content apparently in November of 2008. I’m not sure what the process was like (is it a sign-up or an application? I don’t remember) All I know is that I kept getting these emails every [...]

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 [...]

Work Today- Paid Tomorrow- awesome!

mrshannigan — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 17:36:40 +0000

Wow, so yesterday I signed up for CloudCrowd and spent probably 2 hours exploring their site, reading all the rules and the contract and doing each of the different jobs they have available. Here’s how it works

Job #1- you can scour the internet for terrible foreign websites. We’ve all seen them, they’re poorly translated [...]
