When it comes to writing articles and searching for work in the regular freelance websites the rates offered are pitiful.   'Employers'  post job listings asking for serious, experienced writers with excellent grammar etc.  You get all excited because you think this must be a real job listing, only to read on and find that they are offering $1.50 per 400 word article and expect you to be grateful for it.

The internet makes this work international.  There are people who will work for less per post or per article because they simply can afford to, I get it.    However,  those of us who do not have this luxury need to find higher paying work.  Which is why it is nice to find requests from websites like Sinn & Skinn offering $100-$250 per submission depending on quality.

Keep looking, keep looking, keep looking and eventually you will find worthwhile writing jobs amidst all the mass production rubbish!

SINN & SKINN ACCEPTING ARTICLE SUBMISSION

 

If you sell digital products online you are no doubt aware of the two most popular affiliate networks, ClickBank and PayDotCom.

While both of these are great and I highly recommend each of them, today I came across a brand new service that really caught my attention. It's called PaySpree and the reason it caught my attention is that ALL its members get paid for their sales instantly by PayPal.

Even affiliates get paid for their referred sales instantly by PayPal.

I expect it to become quite a hit as the lure of 'instant commissions'  played a big part in the massive success of products such as 7DollarSecrets and the RapidActionProfits scripts.

I've actually come across products for sale that are just lists of affiliate programs that pay instant paypal commission. And I've seen many threads in the various internet marketing forums asking about where to find instant commission affiliate programs. Now there is an entire site and marketplace dedicated to them.

As soon as you become a member you can start promoting any product in the marketplace, and you can add your own products so affiliates can promote them for you. All commission payments are handled automatically by PaySpree , it sounds like a winner to me.

I've just signed up and had a look around the site and it seems pretty simple and non cluttered, check it out at the link below and let me know what you think:

See what they are offering at PaySpree

It has been an unforgivably long time since this website has been updated due to OVERWHELM.  In my quest to find lots of free goodies I did what I would advise against everyone else doing, and signed up to a ridiculous amount of newsletters.  Which resulted in ending up with 30,000 emails to go through!!

What do you think was my conclusion after going through the ridiculous amount of emails.  90% were crap.  Recycled, regurgitated, repeated crap.   Instead of filling my brain with lots of useful information, it paralyzed my brain into inaction, simply because there was far too much to process.

So, I have unsubscribed myself from most of them, changed the subscriptions i wanted to RSS feeds instead, where I choose when to go and look at them, rather than them flooding and clogging my inbox.  There is not much difference, but there is a psychological difference of choosing  to go and look at them, rather than opening my inbox and being bombarded with the information.

There will be more on being selective later, but let my traumas be a lesson to you.  As attractive as it may be to collect as much free stuff as you can, it can also be the very thing that prevents you from succeeding.

When people are looking for ways to make money writing, they assume that the best paid jobs must be really difficult to get.  Well a little known fact is that you can get paid up to $300 for writing an original poem or prose that can be used on greeting cards!

Yes the humble greeting card can earn you that much money.  You can submit as many as you like so if you get just 10 accepted, that would earn you a tidy $3000 profit, for very little effort.  Of course not every submission will be accepted, but this is something you can do while waiting for the train, over your morning coffee, even sitting on the loo!

If you do not want to concentrate on it full time it is a great time filler which could be added to your multiple streams of income.
