Yesterday was my Mom's 77th birthday. I am so grateful
to still have her and that I got to go see her for this
occasion. Of course, I took her to the doctor for some
back pain this morning but I still had to visit her
ON her birthday as well, lol.
Whoa, we are having, FINALLY, the most wonderful,
perfect weather in the history of weather! It went
from weeks of 100+ degrees with awful humidity to
50's at night and even though high 80's and low 90's,
no humidity and nice breezes to boot.
I so love Fall and am so ready and this teaser has
been just wonderful. :-)

Making Money with Articles: Finding a Writer
Finding the right freelance writer to produce your revenue
generating articles can take a bit of time, however, if you
find one that can easily take on another regular client and
the two of you work well together, that one difficult search
will turn into a lot of profitable articles.
When you start your search, you may want to begin with
a very small group of articles, just in case you happen to
hook up with a writer that you are less than thrilled with.
It is important to keep in mind that there are several
different types of writing and each writer might be
highly skilled in one area, yet lack in another.
For example, there is creative/fiction writing, biographical
writing, news writing, general informational article writing,
critical writing, copy-writing, poem/verse writing,
technical writing, medical writing, essay/report writing,
and sports writing. Although a writer may be highly skilled
in one area, many freelance writers spread themselves out
into others areas as well. So, it is critical that the writer
you choose can produce the type of content that you need.
To find a freelance writer, you can look at various
freelancing websites that will allow you to post the
specification of your project and your budget.
>From there, writers will make bids on your project
and provide you with writing samples so that you can
get an idea of their skill level. Make sure that you
choose a writer who gives you a sample of the type
of article that you are looking for.
For example, if you are looking for a copy-writer,
do not hire someone who only sent you a sports writing sample.
He or she may be an outstanding sports writer,
but copy-writing is about selling (a product,
service, or yourself) to your website visitors.
In conclusion, the more you are willing to pay per article,
the more bids you will get from quality writers who know
how to entertain and inform your website visitors so that
they keep coming back for more. Writers know that you will
eventually make a ton of money off of each article or
content piece. So although $30 or more for a 500 word
article may seem like a lot, when you think about the
service they are providing you and the time and effort
that they put into your piece, then you will realize
that it really is not a lot for that one article.
If you pay for quality, you will be amazed at how much
you will eventually make off of your articles.
