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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Free eBook Introduction to WebWriting

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 [...]

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

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

mrshannigan — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 02:23:14 +0000

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 [...]

Dirty Tricks are Not Cool

mrshannigan — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 06:24:46 +0000

OK- I have a lot of mom writer friends on my Facebook friends list. I’m here today to talk some well-deserved SMACK about one of them. I don’t have professional contact with this woman, she writes for a few revenue sharing sites. As far as I can tell, it’s a hobby.

She posted a [...]

Break Studios Review

mrshannigan — Mon, 03 May 2010 01:36:32 +0000

OK, so I’ve been writing for Break Studios for almost 2 weeks now. I promised I’d write up a review once I had them figured out. They’re really laid back, compared to Demand Studios. The titles are also really different. the pay is also significantly lower.

So far, it’s balancing out, though. I’m able to [...]

Places that Pay Writers Up Front

In online writing, there are a few different pay structures that publishers use. Paying writers up front is one model, whereby a writer gets a set fee for each article, and nothing more. Residual pay is another, whereby a writer is paid percentage of the income that’s generated from the advertising on their pages. PPV [...]
