This summer is going by so quickly… too quickly. July was a crazy month for me, mainly due to the fact that my fiance broke up with me. That was tough emotionally and physically. It took a while to get over the fact and finally move on. I knew that if I didn’t… my professional life would suffer dramatically, and I didn’t want that.

I’m back on track with some exciting new things going on. I’ll update you on them later on. For now…. let’s take a look at the blog posts from last month…

Thanks for being a reader here, and I’ll see ya soon. :)

June proved to be a very busy month, albeit bringing in the highest recorded monthly income yet. Income from Angela’s Backlinks, Yarie, and the newest CPA added to my site, AdFish, have all seen record highs. I was very pleased with how things turned out, and July so far is following a similar path. Here’s my total online income from last month…

Income from ReplaceYourSalary.com

Total = $403.48

Income from Internet Marketing Services

It’s been a pleasure to be able to work for a highly successful internet marketer. I’m able to learn from and apply the same strategies to my online business, all of which I’ve blogged about here at one time or another.

Total = $160

Income from Proofreading/Re-writing/Editing Services

As I said previously, I’ve gotten a decent amount of freelancing work last month. It’s great to be able to provide a high quality and much needed service, and it’s been an honor serving my clients. You can learn more by visiting the link below.

Total = $40

Income from Re-writing Service via David Hurley’s PLR Article Service Membership

It has been an honor to be able to partner with David, a good online friend of mine, and provide the re-writing portion of his article membership. To learn more about his PLR article service, visit the link above.

Total = $57.50

Total online income from all sources…

$660.98

Spending your precious time on your blog should be compensated in some way, right? I mean, why put forth all of that effort if no one cares to read what you have to say and just leaves right away?

Notice in the title I used “visitors” and not readers. You first have to convince your blog visitors to stay awhile and actually read your blog before you can call them readers. Makes sense… I hope.

Getting people to stick around and become a reader, which in turn provides comments on your posts, involves a few factors. These factors can include your blog design, the content (what you write) and the style of your writing.

This certainly isn’t the all-inclusive list to go by, but these are some of the main factors you may want to consider if you just can’t seem to get anyone to take notice of your hard work.

I wrote a guest post on HowToSpoter about 3 Tips to a Better Blog where I go more in-depth regarding these three factors and what you can do to turn that sucky blog of yours into a masterpiece worthy of readers.

Be sure to read the post and comment. You’ll see me over there as well replying back.

What have I done to improve this blog?

One of the major updates I made to this blog was installing a new blog theme. Granted, I didn’t think my blog sucked (hopefully not), but it certainly was due for a face-lift, I thought. The new FlexSqueeze Theme is definitely way more modern than what I used to have and allowed me to customize every aspect of the design.

The content on here I think is pretty good, but I’d love to hear what you have to say about. I try to be as personable as possible and provide a relaxed reading environment, something I hope you all enjoy. Of course, there’s always something to learn here, so let me know if I need to clarify/expand on anything. Afterall, I try to write for you, my readers. :)

I promised I would update you all on what my new online endeavor was, so here you go!

In my previous post about David Hurley’s Internet Marketing Article Writing Service, you may have noticed I mentioned that David is an online friend of mine. There is also good reason why I talked about David’s service and am endorsing it.

Not only does David offer a better PLR article service than most other services, but he also offers an additional service as well. David provides an upgraded membership to his article writing service where members can receive rewritten, unique articles each month.

These articles are unique to the articles that regular members receive, thus making them even more valuable. As an upgraded member, you will receive 10 unique PLR articles each and every month for as long as you’re subscribed to the service.

Now, this is where I come in. :)

As David and I work side-by-side in various online communities, we are familiar with each others talents, services, etc. David runs quite a few websites, as well as handling a lot of offline obligations. Due to this , he needed to find a way to ease his workload.

A couple of months ago David contacted me about possibly doing some work for him. I gave him some prices and discussed the terms of what all would be involved. At the time David decided to continue handling everything himself.

Not long ago I was contacted again, this time getting full confirmation that David wanted to turn over the re-writing part of his article writing service over to me.

This would result in an increase in my workload, but it would also increase my monthly income. Since David already had a few clients that required re-written articles, he needed to be able to get the articles to them in a timely manner. Seeing this as a mutual benefit for both of us, I gladly accepted the offer.

Why did David pick me to head up the service? Well for one, I’m a proofreader and have the credentials and experience to perform the tasks that David was looking for. I’m very honored to be a part of what David is doing for the internet marketing community and look forward to our long-lasting partnership.

When you join his internet marketing articles service, be sure to check out the upgraded membership benefits to get the details. You’ll also be able to read more about me and the re-writing service that I’ll be providing for his PLR articles.

Even if you decide not to upgrade, you’ll still receive 10 articles every month that are limited to a maximum of 100 members. The reason for this is so there’s not a lot of saturation in the market, and this avoids having 100’s, if not more, of the same articles all over the web.

Being a basic member is still very beneficial if you don’t have the time to write your own articles, so I urge you to check out David’s article PLR service and see if it’s right for you.

Writing top quality articles is very time consuming. You may have an idea of what you want to write about, but when it comes to actually writing the articles, it just takes time. You may be asking why you would even have a need to write articles, and the answer is very simple. Articles help you grow your online business.

Articles allow you the advantage of getting your name, business and message in front of thousands of readers and seen as an expert… all for FREE. For internet marketers and online business owners who have multiple tasks to complete every day, writing can be a chore.

Introducing…  David Hurley, expert internet marketer, English professional and article writer. David is the owner of Grasp-The-Nettle.com and provides an article writing PLR service for internet marketers. His articles are internet marketing and online business related.

What sets David’s service apart from other PLR services is this:

  • High quality, relevant and useful articles – NOT the usual run-of-the-mill, thrown together stuff
  • Free from grammar, spelling and syntax errors commonly found in other PLR article packages
  • Limited membership – Articles exclusively available to only 100 members
  • Reasonably priced

David’s service provides you with 10 internet marketing related articles each and every month to use for your own use. Why spend countless hours writing your own articles, when you can have David save you the trouble?

I’m a personal friend of David’s and have worked side by side with him for several years through various forums and internet marketing communities. I have been impressed with his professionalism and all the work that he does with his various online businesses. I can assure you that anything David does is top notch!

To learn more about David’s article writing service and his risk-free guarantee, check out his Article PLR Service. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

It’s time for another blog post roundup. Here are July’s blog posts in case you happened to miss any.

Freelance Writing Opportunities – Blog Writing

Blog Writing Update

Just a few days ago I wrote about freelance writing opportunities and how blog writing is becoming quite a popular job for service providers. Well ironically, I was just asked by one of my clients to ghostwrite articles for their blog.

Talk about good timing. I honestly didn’t know this would happen at the time of writing my post, but it proves the fact that there are people out there looking for blog writers. You just have to get yourself in front of potential clients.

Being a current client of mine, and knowing the subject matter of which they need articles written for, it just makes sense. It’s not my normal proofreading work, but having done this type of work before as well as a bit of re-writing work, I figure, why not?

It’s always a good idea to have multiple streams of income, so capitalizing on every opportunity is a no-brainer. I’m not going to lie… I need money. Who doesn’t?

That’s what my blog is all about. Presenting ideas and showing you different ways you can earn extra money on the internet. There’s many different avenues to take, and freelance blog writing is one of those, and it can pay off.

Following up with my previous post on finding freelance work from home, I wanted to share about another freelance opportunity. Freelance writing opportunities are in high demand. If you’re a writer, or aspiring writer, then this post is for you. Heck, even if you’re not that great at writing but are knowledgeable in a certain area or niche, then pay close attention.

There are numerous amounts of people that constantly require article writers on a wide variety of subjects. Just go to my previous post, linked above, and sign up with those sites as a service provider. You’ll be able to see firsthand at how many writing jobs are available.

Other freelance writing opportunities, and one that is very similar to the above, is blog writing. The same principal applies, but this time you’re writing an article or blog post for the owner of a blog. There are millions of blogs ran by webmasters, and many webmasters don’t have the time to keep up with their blogs.

The fact is that it’s hard keeping up with a blog, and I should know. ;) . It takes time to research a topic and then write about it. It’s very time consuming to keep a blog updated on a consistent basis. And as we all know, Google loves new, fresh content that’s added regularly to sites. This is where you, a freelance blog writer, can help.

Many blog owners would like to keep their blog up to date and provide valuable content to their readers. The problem is that many just don’t have the time due to other interests or obligations. Many blog owners would be willing to hire a blog writer to post content on their blog.

It will take a little effort and time on your part, but if you run across a quality blog that doesn’t get updated very often, or seems to have been neglected, you could simply contact the owner and offer your writing services to them. Many will be so happy that you contacted them that they’ll jump on the idea.

The price you get paid per post for blog writing will vary and has many factors. Some factors include the niche, length of the posts and your writing experience. With a little effort there’s no reason why you can’t find a blog writing job.

So there you have it… two examples of freelance writing opportunities that are available to you. I’m sure with some creativity and strong will, you’ll be able to find other avenues as well.

I’ve been hearing from different sources on the web that EzineArticles.com would be implementing changes that would have a serious impact on every article marketer out there. If you use article marketing as part of your marketing strategy, as you should, then listen up! This is important, and you’ll want to know how to stay on top.

The recent changes involve new Adsense ad placements on your article pages. They’ve added more and placed them in such a way that might just decrease your article click-through rates. Scary huh? The whole point of writing articles is to have it read and then get your links clicked.

Now, EzineArticles, one of the best article sites around, is making it tougher for the average marketer to make it in this big internet marketer game.

But, don’t fret just yet. I received an email from Travis Sego the other day that just might be the solution to these recent changes. If you’re not familiar with Travis, he’s the bum marketing genius that takes homeless guys and teaches them how to write articles and make a fortune, being a bum. Gotta love it!

I really like what Travis is doing. Plus, he’s a down-to-earth, fun loving guy (you’ll see what I mean in the email he sent me). What’s better is that he wants to help people, and by doing so, allows me to help you.

Here’s the email Travis sent and what he had to say about the new EzineArticles changes and how you can keep your click-throughs high:

Hey!
What’s da haps?
As you may have heard…
EzineArticles.com has made some
changes that will affect YOU!
Wanna talk with ya about them…
I’m in a silly mood though so…
How ’bout a little light hearted fun first?
Have you heard this one?
*********************
Confucius say…
Man who run behind car…get exhausted.
Man who run in front of car…get tired.
*********************
Heeeee….hee… :-)
I know I’m corny…but I luv that one!
Now here’s how a man, woman or Bum
can get on top of the EzineArticles.com
changes.
Without getting exhausted or tired!
They’ve recently made the decision to
add more Adsense to the articles.
Which MIGHT make it a little tougher
to get YOUR links clicked on.
I ain’t worried though.
You won’t be either.
Learned this trick from reading
PotPieGirl’s One Week Marketing
System.
(I had to see what all the new folks
were RAVING about).
Here’s what you do:
1. Shorten your articles! Your article body
only has to be 250 words!
2. Make your authors box…L-O-N-G-E-R. You
have up to 300 words you can put in your authors
box.
You should be able to make your authors box…look
like it’s part of the article!
You follow?
Using just this one little tip from One Week Marketing,
and I’m pullin’ in a 34% click through on one article…and others look like they’ll do even more.
Yipee Skipee!
I wonder if you can figure out a couple other
reasons I am so happy about this?
Betcha can?
==>Short articles are FASTER to write.
==>Short articles COST LESS to outsource.
==>Short articles = More Articles = More Sales!
So there you have it.
Have any more great ideas on how to get around these new changes? I’d love to hear them. :)

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads them. To some people, reading articles seems like work too, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that’s their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It’s just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn’t have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that’s why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won’t have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it’s about. It’s just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won’t look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person’s curiosity you’re already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, “Tips on making her want you more”, or “How to make her swoon and blush” .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, “Make her yours in six easy Ways”. These types of titles reach out to a persons’ emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don’t over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.
