Most of you already know me as a writer. It’s what I love and what I do most of the time. But I’ve learned that being a writer doesn’t necessarily mean I need to work for someone all all the time. I can come up with my own projects related to writing and blogging and make money other ways.
Here’s a glimpse at what I do to make money each month.
- Ehow.com – I am currently the herbal medicine expert on the site. I get paid a set amount per article, plus they have a writer’s compensation program which makes me some extra money.
- Today.com – I have two blogs on today.com. I try to spend some time posting on each blog each day. I research keywords before I write my posts and also spend some time commenting on other blogs at today.com and also promoting the offsite.
- Adsense – I make money from Adsense on my blogs and websites and also through Hubpages. It took me a few years to reach my first $100, now I get checks fairly regularly.
- Blogging - Making money with blogging is an art and one that I am just learning. The idea is to monetize using a few different methods such as Adsense and affiliate programs. I also blog through two blog networks – today.com and orble.com.
- Freelance Writing – I still take on writing jobs every now and then. But, I tend to favor blogging work for clients. I’ve been writing more queries as of late so I could be published in magazines again.
- Affiliate Marketing – I promote affiliate programs to some extent on this blog (only the helpful ones). But I also do other things to bring in affiliate income such as Bum Marketing, which is article marketing done a certain way to promote affiliate programs.
- Bukisa – I’ve also been submitting articles to Bukisa because I see real potential in this site. It has another revenue sharing model which I don’t mind. Once it gets going, I know my earnings will increase.
But no matter what I choose to do, writing things that are helpful and/or entertaining is always my number one priority because it is what I enjoy doing the most.
