New Freelance Writing Opp- On Facebook???

Imagine that- a freelance writing money-making application on facebook. It’s new,I can tell that there are conflicts between the writers and the editors (name a relationship more doomed?)

Anyway- here it is,have you ever come across a TERRIBLE WEBSITE?  Where everything is spelled wrong,or the English is poorly translated?  That’s what this [...]

Suite101 earnings

SO- last month,Suite101 nnounced that one of our fellow writers had just about reached the $5000 mark for August Earnings (or was it July?) Either way- that’s so darned inspiring. We all guessed and estimated and stalked eachother out,and finally they announced who the lucky lady was. She was definitely on my short-list,[...]

Sites that Pay Via Adsense

(meaning that your check comes FROM google,not the website)

When you look through the [...]

Here’s an example:

I'm writing for Examiner now

I just wanted to announce that I was recently made the Seattle Homeschooling Examiner. All the other writer-moms are doing it,right? I’ll admit,my first two articles aren’t brilliant,but why waste brilliance at the beginning,right? So now when all the other writer-moms are talking about their experiences and advice for The Examiner,[...]

And what do you do again?

How many times have you heard this question? I’ve gotten into the habit of just saying “nothing,I’m home with the kids.”The honest answer is that I write Search Engine Optimized articles for a percentage of the advertising revenue from large websites and for a flat fee from private clients. I also operate a [...]
