Information Overload
The thing I have found about looking for advice on the Internet, especially about SEO and internet marketing, as great as it is to find helpful sites, is that there is a massive amount of information. This overwhelms me. Same thing happened when I started doing research on writing and publishing. So I have learned [...]
Two More Great Sites for Writers
I was thinking before I fell asleep last night that I needed to add Writing World–a premiere site for freelance writers–and Forward Motion, Holly Lisles’ site–a must have for fiction writers–to my Helpful Sites for Writers section of my blog. I thought I’d make a post about them and make sure you didn’t miss them [...]
Stop Dragging My Muse Around
Saying it’s been a trying two days for me is the understatement of the year. But what crossed my mind that I wanted to share with you is that it’s only human for the things going on in our lives to affect our production, as writers and as people in general. When life gets you [...]
A Couple of Markets
These look interesting. I am thinking about applying for the entertainment writer job myself, (though I wonder if travel is mandatory)
ENTERTAINMENT WRITERS SOUGHT
Freelance entertainment reviewers with good reporting instincts needed
for established entertainment web site. Prefer experience with content
management tools and web savvy individuals. Willing to work with
go-getters without prior clips. Good rates–some travel possible.
Compensation: Per [...]
I’m All Over This
After spending weeks scouring the Internet, joining message boards and reading websites until my eyes hurt for advice on how I could make money, I mean good money, online, I was thrilled to discover this fantastic e-book, High Performance Affliate Marketing by super affiliate Jeremy Palmer. All the answers to my questions are right [...]
Black Friday
I am participating in a blog carnival today, my first, hosted by Holiday Mom. The subject is Black Friday, which is aptly named as far as I’m concerned. It’s the first official holiday shopping day, the one day of the year when the brave and daring go out seeking bargains and treasures for Christmas. Can [...]
I’m Loving Geeky Speaky
They say timing is everything. Here I am, knee-deep in trying to learn all I can about how to make this blog successful, and here comes Geeky Speaky.
Even though it was only started in November, Geeky Speaky has already helped me understand how to use Simple Tags and explained SEO and marketing details that have [...]
Morphing
Working on this site, making it a professional blog, a business blog for writers, has made me realize that I am going to miss talking about my life and my own writing journey. So, I have decided to start blogging again–every now and then–at my old address and morph it into a strictly personal endeavor. [...]
The PPP Forum
I have been hanging out on writer’s forums for a couple of years and I’ve gotten a lot of help, made some friends, learned quite a bit. But I have to say that the PayPerPost
message board is one of the friendliest, most helpful online forums I have ever encountered. I know this first-hand because I [...]
You Lucky Dogs
To have all this information in one place. That might sound arrogant but it’s not meant to. (I’m taking a break from working on this site to post these thoughts.) It’s just that it took me three years to gather this information and I just got started placing it here. It will take me awhile, [...]
