Put Ads In Your Blogs

You keep your own blog, just put ads in some of your posts of occasion. I like this deal better.

Paid Per Post - https://payperpost.com/

Blogsvertise - http://www.blogsvertise.com/

Blogitive - http://www.blogitive.com <– This one is my favorite so far.

Blogs

If you aren’t using Blogger or your website to write your own blog and earn Adsense, I would recommend doing so. You’ll then earn 100% of your own revenue, rather than just 50% from these websites.

However, there are some that seem to help promote your blog incase you don’t wish to. These seem to be the most popular.

Get Paid To Blog Forum

If you want to learn more about getting paid to blog, I recommend joining this great get paid to blog forum.

Something Blog

YouTube - Too lazy to write? Do video blogs.

Technorati - Link your blog here.

Content.

Website visitors only want one thing.

Content.

Is this a big surprise? When Google decided to change formats yet again, anyone with simply a link pointing from hundreds of web pages wasn’t enough. Now that web page needs content and the high quality stuff at that.

With these new goals in sight, many website owners are turning to free content websites to add content to their own web pages. Some are also looking for cheap content, content written in less than 10 minutes for $1 each. Will your site rank higher if you do this?

Every Great Website Should Have Some Article Content

As a website owner, you actually need to be the one submitting articles as well as taking articles in. Writing your own articles may seem to take a lot of time, but if you own a website, it’s your own investment. No one else should care more about your topic than you, at least in being able to please your website visitors. Writing your own articles doesn’t have to be too difficult.

You might also think that if you are a graphics website, a game website and other websites that have graphical theme, you really don’t have any use for articles. If nothing else, articles provide some more content to your ever growing website. Why not write an article on how to make graphics or how to beat the game? Every website can create some form of unique content that is helpful to readers.

Does it matter what you write? Yes. It should be focused to people who are buying what you are trying to sell. For example, if you sell frying pans, you’ll want content on how to use a frying pan, useful tips and tricks, recipes and more.

Google eats this stuff up for breakfast. Especially quality content. Here’s how.

Quality Content = Visitors Stay = Google and Search Engines Are Happy

You see, it’s not just about having content. Google actually tracks how long visitors stay, how many visit the site, if they scroll to the bottom of the page, etc. If all your visitors are doing is reading a few sentences and leaving, your ranking sinks and your site will appear lower in the search engines. Google search engines are figuring your site must not be the right site for this particular keyword.

This is why knowing what makes a search engine happy is important. Many wouldbe site owners spend $100s of dollars on 1000s of articles, only to continue to have to pay $100s for more content and build more sites because their sites keep sinking to the bottom of search engines.

Not only that, but now you have human monitors on Google as well. These human monitors will scout out sites, and if it’s of low quality, they’ll put in a form of grading. Don’t believe me? Check out Google’s Quality Rater Job. There’s one for nearly every country or language.

So it is important, to get your groove on with the search engines, to take time to write content, or pay a few more bucks, and make sure you get some quality content people are going to look at. If they keep coming back to you, you’re doing something right.

These are my top resources for writing markets. Markets are not really ‘jobs’ where you are hired to write. They are places where you send queries or send in manuscripts to appeal to editors. 

The best free market listings:

Writers  Weekly - This great website has markets in the weekly newsletter, on the website and in the message board. Don’t forget to check out all the other great content and articles. 

Agent  Query - Those looking for an agent will be delighted to learn of this place that lists content for free. 

The Market List - For fantasy, horror and sci-fi writers. 

Writers Write List - Long list of paying markets.

Publisher Database - This place is new to me, but looks really cool. It even has a submission tracker. You do have to register, but it is free.

Best market listings that you pay for:

(Fees vary, but they are legitimate and reliable resources. Remember, no matter what
  resource you look at, the latest information will always be posted on the magazine or book publisher website first. Don’t forget to check those sources too before submitting anything.)

Writer’s Market - Often described as the ‘Writer’s Bible’, highly recommended.

Writing-World - If you know where you want to submit your work, pay for only markets that you will actually use, like fantasy or horror. 

Absolute Write - Sends market leads via email and also freelance work gigs via email.

Have markets? Contact me and I’ll add your link.

I’ve linked directly to where the jobs are so you don’t have to click on a ton of links just to get to the jobs. 

This list saves me tons of time. 

There’s a little something here for everyone, freelancers and regular working stiffs alike. (as my mom likes to remind me, the real jobs )

The Quick Lists

I call them relisters, because they borrow links from other websites and repost them on
blogs or web pages. If you don’t have time to go through the list above, use these resources. You should check them out anyway, because they will often catch leads you might have missed in your searching.

Freelance Writing Gigs - A collection of updated feelance writing links from all over the web.

Morning Coffee - This one is updated once a week, but with good leads.

PoeWar Jobs - More leads, collected from the web.

Writer’s Weekly Markets - Another list of leads, updated usually
every week. 

Sun Oasis - Post jobs daily.

Still not enough leads? Feel like doing some bidding? Try the Monster List of Freelance Job Sites provided by Freelance Switch.

And if you are wondering… the answer is yes. I use this list all the time. It takes me about twenty to forty minutes a day to go through all of the websites and look for updated leads. I keep trying to make it easier and better.

Have ideas on how to make this better? Feel free to leave a comment or email me to let me know of your favorite resources for looking for writing jobs.

So you’ll probably see a few re-added and updated pages coming though the blog in the next couple of days. You’re not going crazy, it’s just me doing some updating and making things easier on this end.

I can’t say when the new site will be complete, hopefully in a couple of days and that’s just getting the basics online. I’ll be continuing to add additional content, plus I have plans for helpful resources, worksheets and ebooks to add in the coming months.

Oh boy.

However, if you don’t want to fork over the $300 for the software after six months, there are alternatives. Here’s some FREE word processors, and other programs that can help you with your business.

Open Office - Probably one of the most popular word processors, spreadsheets and presentation makers available. It’s a completely free download.

AbiWord -  Another download with just the word processor. It is compatible with OpenOffice files, Text pad or Word files.

Google Docs - Never have to worry about saving your documents and backing them up again. Let Google take care of that, and have all your files in once place, not duplicate files. No downloads, save some space on your hard drive.

StarOffice - Yet another freebie. This one is a download. It looks pretty and does work with Microsoft Office files.

Can’t get any sweeter than free word processing or spreadsheets.

If you haven’t been yet, TED.com has all sorts of interesting videos on all sorts of interesting topics. Go. Watch. Now.

 In the mean time, I’ve been busy. I’ve got only a handful of writing clients. Yeah I suckered myself back into nonfiction writing. Regular jobs just don’t have the same appeal as working when I want and making what I want.

 Just a quickie.

Now there’s something new. Someone forwarded this link to me, Help A Reporter Out.

I haven’t tried it out yet, but I’m plotting to. So if you are a source or if you need sources, try out this handy, dandy thing.
