Creating a Secure Future by Freelance Writing

Posted by on November 22, 2011 Comments Off

I met a woman today who is frustrated with her life. She always loved to write, but as life progressed she focused on raising her kids and taking care of her family. She told me today that she feels like she is disappearing, that she doesn’t know where this intellectual person went.

And you know what? She isn’t the only person I’ve spoken to with frustrations similar to hers. When I told this woman that she can get started as a writer and that I’d help her, she smiled. I think my confidence that being a writer is doable gave her hope.

Triond and Sites Like it Seem to Be a Waste of Time

Posted by on November 18, 2011 Comments Off

I already have several articles posted on Triond. And, even though I had a November payment of $0.50 (a joke if you ask me) those actually appear to be my earnings for the year.

So, ignore my previous post. I will NOT be using Triond to help me make residual income. In order to make the monthly payments that I want, it looks like I will need to have at least 1000 pieces of content on that site.

You know who benefits from all my hard work? Not me, but Triond. And writing 1000 pieces of content is a lot of work.

Make Money Writing with Triond

Posted by on November 17, 2011 Comments Off

I am a writer at heart. Therefore, a lot of what I choose to do online to make money involves writing. The problem is, I don’t want to make money writing by having clients. I want to do it in a way that helps me remain independent. I used to write online for clients, and it was very stressful. I was also trading time for dollars and it did nothing to make my future more secure. If I didn’t write, I didn’t earn. That’s not a good thing.

My Quest to Earn Money Online

Posted by on November 16, 2011 Comments Off

It’s time for me to start getting serious about making money online. There are two basic reasons.

  1. I need to get out of debt. I owe various sources around $15,000.
  2. I would like to start making a steady income online.

How I will Get out of Debt

First, I have to say that of all the “Get out of Debt” plans that I’ve found, I like the Total Money Makeover the best. Par to fit is because Dave Ramsey has a no-nonsense approach. The other part is that he is a Christian. Also, the fact that he has been in debt before (bankrupt actually) but has turned his life around gives him a lot of credibility.
