 IS YOUR JOB FUN???

It should be. I wasted so many years of my life as a shopgirl, working for a low wage to earn managers and a corporation big money, working the hours they wanted me to work, putting up with bad moods, bullying supervisors, poorly trained and mentally ill managers, and unfair, discriminatory office politics.

Now I am my own boss, working the hours I choose, working from my home, car, the park, the pool-- in fact, I can take my office with me wherever I go!

Wow. The skin care specialists at Rodan and Fields Derma. have done it again!

Yahoo Contributor Network/Yahoo Voices Shutting Down

In an announcement that caught several hundred thousand writers by surprise, Yahoo announced it was closing the popular Yahoo Contributor Network which is had acquired from Associated Content only a few years earlier.

Yahoo told its writers--some of whom had been with the site for a decade--that it would keep articles up for the month of July, make one final payment, and then delete all content. At that time the rights would revert back to the writers.

In limbo are the articles made "for hire" which Yahoo said it might chose to keep or delete, reminding writers that works for hire become the property of Yahoo and they can do what they want with them.

The Yahoo site had been having major issues keeping tracking of page views and dealing with changes in the Google algorithms, most recently "Panda." But some writers are speculating that the acquisition of Associate Content was merely a ploy to get rid of its content competition on the web and that Yahoo may have never had any long-term plans for the Yahoo Contributor Network. It is unknown if any attempt was ever made to sell the site to any interested parties.

Stay tuned for more details and updates.

A Great Opportunity to Own Your Own Turn-Key Business

Hard at work over wine and appetizers

The link below goes to a photo of me hard at work... on a yacht. I went from being a shop girl standing all night behind the counter of the Macy's cosmetics department to cruising on a yacht or sitting with my friends over wine and appetizers to work in the lucrative anti-aging skin care industry.

I don't carry any product, I don't spend long hours on my feet, I don't carry a sample case, and I don't have to fool with orders and returns. All I have to do is tell my story to friends and acquaintances over cocktails, appetizers or at other fun events.

If you want to see more photos of me hard at work setting my own hours and running my own business, check out the photos at: Rodan + Fields Skincare News

How to Make Money Writing on Seekyt

For writers who know how to put a decent article together, Seekyt is a great writing platform for writers that want to diversify how they get paid. It has similarities to Examiner and other sites that pay based upon page views, but it is quite different in how the money is earned.

Instead of paying a percent of a penny for each page view, Seekyt pays their writers a percentage of ad revenues. However, as page views translate into purchases, there is a direct correlation between page views and earnings.

Seekyt requires original articles with a minimum of around 250-300 words. Writers can earn money by incorporating one or all the following ad types into their articles: Google AdSense, Chikita and/or VigLink. Product-based articles like reviews and how-tos seem to work best on the Seekyt site.

VigLink

Seekyt now uses an affiliate  program called VigLink. One reason signing up for VigLink should appeal to writers is VigLink is a good fit for international writers as well as Stateside. VigLink is affiliated with over 30,000 sites, including big name retailers like eBay, Amazon, Walmart, Macys, Nike, Home Depot, Forever 21, Neiman Marcus, Dillards, etc. Writers can earn by letting VigLink create links to specific product names or by copying and pasting links to specific merchants. VigLink has a referral program that enables writers to earn for referring friends and readers: Click Here for Details.


Referrals


Using the affiliate advertisers mentioned above, Seekyt pays writers a percentage of all ad sales on our articles. Writers increase their ad share by writing articles, by referring new writers, by gaining new followers, and by interacting on the site in other ways.  Seekyt also pays bonuses for followers, comments and other activity on the site. Click here for my Seekyt referral link.




By the way, if you ever see anything you are interested in buying from Amazon on one of my Seekyt articles,  it won't cost you any more to use my link to purchase, but I will earn a percentage of the sale.

How to Earn Money Writing for Examiner.com

Although I write for 10 or so different websites, the one where I earn the most money is Examiner.com. Back when print was king, I earned $400 - $450 per article writing for magazines, but those days appear to be over. Now I write for less than a penny per page view, but the place that penny goes the furthest for me and where I regularly earn several hundred dollars a month is Examiner.

Not only does Examiner pay a higher percentage of a penny than the other sites I write for, but it attracts many viewers so I don't have to do all the work of promoting my articles. Examiner will also frequently feature me on the Examiner site, or on their popular Facebook page, Google Plus and Twitter.

Examiner's minimum word count requirement is only 150 words per article, so it isn't difficult to come up with ideas and articles. If you know a little basic SEO and have some social networking skills, it helps pull in readers, page views and earnings more quickly.

Earn an Easy $25

Right now Examiner is also offering a "signing bonus" of $25 if new writers contribute two articles of 150 words or more for their first two months. This helps cover the first two normally low-paying months while a writer starts to build a library of articles and begins to get the word out. 

If you have not tried Examiner, you should check it out. It is not "get rich quick," but for any writer who can steadily generate articles of 150 words or more each month, it is a good way to earn several hundred dollars a month once you have a library of content up. That is definitely money I can put to good use!

My January 2014 stats

Examiner is currently in the US and Canada. I am not sure what other countries it might be in now or expanding into.
