Examiner.com pays!

Hey all,

I got paid yesterday from Examiner.com - yeah! I finally made roughly $30 with them and so I hit the pay mark. It took awhile although they have better incentives now for local pay (see past post). If you want to join just look for me Char King or char540 to be your referral.

Ehow has fixed their posting issue for the most part and continues to be my be passive income big earner at about $70 per month without really writing - sometime I do one article - I am currently at 102 articles there - so the hard work does pay off.

Since this is an earnings update - I am going to let you that I am going to be searching harder for even more ways to earn.

Thanks!

Blogging for Money

Hey all,

Ok many people ask about blogging for money and let me just tell you, I don't make a lot of money blogging, but it does take 6-12 months to build up followers and get your blog going. Some times to start making money with your blog:

  1. Post often and be informative, people are looking for information
  2. Monetize your blog using google, amazon, ebay and link affiliate programs
  3. Be patient - it takes awhile to build a reader base
  4. Read other people blogs and post comments or better yet ask them to link to you
  5. Once you blog has a base of followers you may want to consider advertising.

Will post more tips as I come across them and be sure to send me a link to your blog and I will try and start a list.

Selling your homemade crafts and stuff

So I hear that people are making great money selling homemade crafts, paintings and other items using Etsy.com - Whether it is crafts, woodworks, painting, jewelry Etsy is great for selling it. Another site I just hear of is Ruby Lane - which is another site to sell handmade items.

While crafts aren't for everyone those looking can find more information at HubPages - this one is not written by me, but does contain some good information for those looking.

Thanks for reading more about making money at home online coming soon.

Examiner update and Textbroker new way to make money

Hey all,

It is has been awhile, but I have been working on getting in shape and quitting smoking which is great, so I need to make sure my writing gets going again. So I have picked back up with Examiner.com . They have added new incentives like $1.00 per locally focused article and an extra $1.00 if you get a local sponsor - so that can add up to $10 a week maximum and $40 a month plus pay per page view.

This will be in addition to the money I already make with Demand Studios, Ebay and Ehow, which is going steady at around $400 per month.

New site to write for.

Another new site I found to write for is TextBroker.com - they pay you based on the article rating. This is another site you have to apply for but they do pay via paypal and the articles are set rates, so you know what you are getting. The downside is no passive income building, but it is still a good way to keep the bills paid.
