Taking Time To Monitor Success

Greetings & Salutations,

Although the hour is late and my mind is weary after a long day, I wanted to spend a few minutes discussing the importance of taking time to monitor success. This is extremely important to your money making efforts, no matter what type of "write for pay" activities you engage in. I bring this point up for a good reason.

This week, as was brought out in an earlier post, I engaged in a promotional activity that ended up doubling my Google earnings. Needless to say, I was thrilled at the ideal of increasing my earnings. I was also naive enough to think that the next day, and every day after that, I would be able to double my profits. Well that didn't happen, and thank goodness I was at least smart enough to not get discouraged when I couldn't repeat the results. Believe me, discouragement has no place in your "write for pay" endeavors.

While I have yet to figure out how I CAN actually duplicate my activities to achieve better results, I am glad to report that I have continued to see at least a small increase each day. This is a good thing, and definitely lets me know I'm on the right track. Even if it takes a while to fully understand the dynamics of your contextual advertising, it is worth it to continue to monitor your own progress if you want to have continued success.

Writing articles is only part of your "write for pay" efforts. The marketing and promotional part that you may or may not want to do is still mandatory for your online success. Taking time to monitor your success will only prove to increase your success. This is true even if you only submit articles to writing sites that purchase work, with no type of contextual ads involved. You will still need to monitor which of your submissions are accepted and why, versus those that don't seem to get any attention at all.

Take the time, and when necessary, MAKE the time to monitor your activities, thereby monitoring your success. When the profits finally begin to roll in, you'll be glad you did!

ttfn - ta ta for now

Blogs To Help Writers Earn

Ghost Writing And Article Writing On “Spec"

Ghost writing is when you write and get paid for supplying work that will specifically be published without your byline. Writing on “spec” is when you take on an assignment, either solicited or non-solicited, and you write the article with the hope that it will be accepted for purchase by the customer. Typically, a customer will request you to write something on spec and you don't get paid until the writing is completed and the customer is content with the results.

Some websites actually provide you with a list of assignments that you can write on spec. In many cases, but not always, the customer will want to buy full rights, so they can remove the byline and modify the article as they please. This amounts to ghost writing on spec. It is, however, possible to do one without the other. That is because some spec writers only sell usage or unique rights, thus limiting what the customer can do with the writing.

Writing & Contextual Ads

There are some great websites that let you write articles on whatever topic you want to write on and Google Ads, Amazon and other advertisers pop up to generate ad revenue for you. Ads are based on whatever your writing is about.

>>>>> HUBPAGES <<<<<

One of the most popular places for getting paid to write what you want is HUBPAGES

because they have such an easy and laid back format, plus the other writers (Hubbers) are really friendly and! You can learn a lot about writing, writing for pay and just about anything there. HUBPAGES allows you to make money in a number of ways:

YOU CAN GENERATE the following:

3 Different Kinds of Income

a) Ad Impressions – Get paid for “x” amount of “page views” (when Traffic visits your article page)

b) Ad Clicks – Get paid when someone actually “clicks” on the ads on your article page

c) Ad Sales – Get paid when someone actually “purchases” something as a result of your ads

Contextual ads are the most popular and most profitable ways to earn money with your writing. Of this type of advertising, Google AdSense is the leading source of most writers’ income. Not only do you generate cash when someone clicks on one of the ads and actually purchases something, but you also earn a profit simply for them clicking on the ad. To sweeten the pie even more, you generate additional income from having a high number of visitors go to the article page containing the ads.

Writer Referral Programs

One great form of passive income that writers can make involves getting paid to refer other writers to the website you write for. Some sites even allow you to earn money when you refer your readers to articles that other writers have written. This is easy to do when you add links to related information at the end of your articles.

Be sure to find out about writer's compensation programs when you sign up at a website to submit your writing. This is one form of income that writers often overlook, or take for granted.

(Most Writer sites have a referral program. See the links to various sites, provided for you in the Second segment of this "Write For Pay" series)
