Morning Coffee Newsletter (LINK)

May 13th 2008 14:20
This little newsletter won't fill your inbox with spam and offers some good stuff once in a while.

Really Long Link

It's worth checking out some more of that site as well. You may strike gold!

The Good Stuff.

May 9th 2008 04:33
Here are some of the great places to find real, good paying writing jobs. They vary but you can definitely find something of interest that doesn't completely suck.

Online-Writing-Jobs

Really Long Link

I've got some great stuff from here including a few long term $20-$25 per article gigs. You can sell yourself in the Freelancers Seeking Work area and you may be contacted privately. Be careful, there are some spammers and total crap in the Pending area. Use caution if you use Pending to get a jump on the competition. I recommend a secondary email for that specific area. The High and Low paying areas are great and the Non-Paying area is usually anything under .03 cents/word.

UPDATE: This site seems to be gone. You can still look around but it's not what it was.

Michy's Blog.

Really Long Link

Michy is great and has a wonderful blog going here. If you can actually write, this is THE place for you. I got a few things published in Boy's Life and a few airline magazines through this forum. Average pay was over $250 each. Publications of all types are featured and are all very professional.

Work At Home Mothers.com

http://www.wahm.com

This covers pretty much every money making opportunity you can do at home. I'm a father but still occasionally check the writers area on the forum. It seems to be down today but will surely be back soon. I feel sorry for some of the poor ladies on that site who do telemarketing and such and post their horror stories. Maybe someone can direct them here and they can make some extra cash.

UPDATE: The forum is up and running. Hit it directly HERE: http://www.wahm.com/forum/

Demand Studios

http://www.demandstudios.com/

This company will pay you $15 per article and often has you write for eHow. I hate the eHow format and won't do it but many people really like it. I do hear they offer other jobs as well and I may send them a resume soon just to find out. My eHow experience has been taking crap like "how to put a sprinkler on a garden hose" and similar idiocy. It's painful to list step by step instructions on how to do something so stupid.

I feel eHow should be more like:

Step 1: Try to figure out how to attach sprinkler to garden hose.
Step 2: If you can't figure it out see additional steps.
Step 3: Tie garden hose to a secure location on your roof
Step 4: Tie other end around your neck.
Step 5: Leap off roof.

I may be a bastard though.

Alright. I have been requested to add in a crapload of links to sites that WILL PAY YOU but might not be very desirable. Here they are.

Odds are you will be bidding against warehouses full of Indians but if you speak and write in UK or US English, you have an advantage. I will include my blatant referral links for the couple of them that I use. I don't care if you sign up under me or not.

GAF-GetAFreelancer:

<a Really Long Link Really Long Link width=468 height=60 alt="Get custom programming done at GetAFreelancer.com!" border=0></a>

GAF isn't bad. You can always find blocks of articles in the 10-50 range and the pay can be anything from a penny per word to $10 per article. 90% of the stuff you find will be from writers who have good jobs trying to make money for free. They usually fail as they hire the lowest bidder, have to rewrite the material anyway and are charged by GAF and hounded by the incompetent fools they promised to pay.

Scriptlance-
Really Long Link

Basically the same thing as GAF but may have better projects once in a while. I've owed them $5.00 for about 2 years so don't use them. I should probably pay that off soon.

RentaCoder-

<a target=_blank Really Long Link border=0 Really Long Link width="100" height="30"></a>

Another one like all the rest. I like the setup and have found some good stuff there.

GetACoder-

Really Long Link

Yep, another one. GetACoder is good to find writing jobs and works best if you keep an RSS feed running somewhere like Windows Sidebar.

Sologig-

Really Long Link

Sologig has a leg up on the rest of these but it costs a small fee for a good account.

eLance-

Probably the best out of all these sites but you will have to pay to join. As I am cheap, I haven't used their services.

In addition to these are Guru.com and probably dozens of others. These are the most commonly used and I recommend checking out "Copywriting", "Proofreading", and "SEO" on GAF and the coder sites first.

You may find gold buried in all the crap.

Good luck!

Updates on the way!

May 7th 2008 02:14
Sorry for my absence. Personal matters tend to do that, especially when you have to fly around the country and such.

Anyway, I will be posting my latest finds here this week. I've stumbled upon some good stuff and some crap but I will post it all so you can check it out!

Mahalo Update (LINK)

January 31st 2008 03:57
This is an update to my previous Mahalo post. It seems they have changed the format so not every SeRP requires you to put in 45 or more links. Now you can pick and choose from smaller ones but they are worth a little less. They start at around $3.00 now instead of the lowest being $10.

Still something to consider. I did 3 for them today in my spare time while not writing articles, doing homework, or playing with kids. That's a quick $20 or so! Not bad for an hour and a half or so

Top 5 Article Sites For Beginners

January 25th 2008 03:42
www.associatedcontent.com

No better place to start. Get some articles submitted, hopefully get up-front payments and troll the forums. The forums are a wealth of information. 400 word minimum
