I’m going on vacation next week and I’ve realized two things.

I am behind in my financial goals for the month.
I’ll want extra spending money for the trip!

So, I need to figure out how I can make some extra cash fairly quickly. As a writer, I have several resources to draw from. Here’s my strategy.

Since I’m a writer (it’s what I do best) I’ve started an ezine that is, at the moment, completely devoted to writing. For the moment, I’m offering a free course with your sign up. It’s a quick start guide on how to get started as a writer.
You see, when I first started out as a […]

When I first signed up for twitter, I didn’t get it. Someone had posted an update - it seemed so mundane, why did I care? And besides, you’re so limited in the number of words you can put per update - what was the use?

No matter what I do online to make money, I’m a writer first. Whether or not I’m writing an ebook to sell, writing for a client, or sitting Indian style on my front steps scribbling notes in my journal - I will forever be a writer.

I’ve been learning how to be an internet marketer and the common advice is to keep everything separate. Separate email accounts for separate niches. Well, I’m tired of that. And since this blog is about me, I’m keeping everything in one spot. Within reason, of course.
Why separate out my writer self, my blogger self, and […]

I’m so excited that my new blog is up. Thrilled actually. It took me a while to figure out how to navigate my FTP program, and find wordpress themes to choose from.
I picked something simple, for now. I may change things around later but I’m happy with this.
This is my new blog space. I think […]
