The first step in my new freelance writing business strategy is to think about how to get my writing business organized. I used to have a system, but I sort of stopped using it. This was a natural by-produce of primarily using online sites to make money. However, regardless of how I make money writing it is still a good idea to keep track. The same goes for my affiliate marketing business as well but I’ll address that in a later post.

I wish I could describe to you what I’ve been going through these past few days. I’ve known for a while that something needed to change about my business but I haven’t known what. I’ve been writing furiously in my journal and I finally came to grips with what was botherine me.

I’ve been writing at eHow since August of 2007. I started off as the Herbal Medicine Expert but I no longer have that role. Still, eHow remains one of my favorite sites to make money writing on the internet. When they first implemented the Writer’s Compensation program, I was a bit perplexed as to how such a thing could make me money. But, I did stick it out – and Oh Boy am I glad I did! Of all the revenue sharing sites out there, eHow appears to be the most lucrative. It has been for me at least.
My Revised Money Making Plan and an Update

I thought I’d share with you all my revised money making plan.
- Content. I have decided that I need to bring in some income doing something that pays fairly quickly so I have vowed to write one piece of content per working day on sites like textbroker or even eHow.
- Squidoo. My best lens is making me over $150 a month from my affiliate links. Makes you think, doesn’t it?
- Blogging. I’ve revised my niche blogging plan somewhat. I’m starting with my current blogs and building them up. I will just work on one blog at a time. Having too many blogs can get confusing and I don’t think it makes a difference in terms of earnings.

Two days into my new challenge, I feel slightly impatient. I’m not making money yet. I’ve logged into all my affiliate accounts. I keep staring at my new blog. I’ve checked out my blog stats at least once. My traffic isn’t staggering. I maybe made a few cents on Adsense. Seriously, I’m a bit frustrated.

Yes, I use Niche Blogger to help me make money online. For the past year I’ve been highly distracted. So many plans, so little time. All these plans resulted in a diluted effort. Now it will be Niche Blogging most of the time.

I thought I’d share with you the fruits of my research. For the longest time I dismissed the Amazon affiliate program because I am currently only getting 4% commission. But if you think about it, 4% of a higher priced item is still pretty good. Let’s say something cost $300. 4% of that is $12 which is pretty good.

I just read a great post at Internet Marketing for Mommies about using 2010 as a way to focus on one task so I could find success. Like most beginners (in my case, I’m a pseudo-beginner) it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information that is out there.

I thought I’d talk a bit about creating niche sites. My niche site plan has three basic levels and I ultimately use The Niche Blogger to teach me and keep me motivated. But the secret is that I don’t really use it at first. Let me explain.
