Your Old Road is Rapidly Aging.....

.....Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand. For the times they are a-changin.

I usually try not to post rants on this blog and instead focus on providing helpful information. However, since this is the one tiny corner of the internet in which I don't have to apologize for my opinion, I figure there's no better place to present my feelings.

TextBroker: An In Depth Review for Freelance Web Writers

I've mentioned TextBroker briefly in previous posts, but I've never done an in-depth review of the site. This is in part because I've written for them only very little (enough to reach payout once) and there are many more lucrative sites out there. However, TextBroker definitely deserves more attention on this blog for being legitimate, paying, and a great place for web writing newbies to begin.

Using Relevant Keywords to Improve EHow Article Ranking

After creating my other eHow tutorials, I continued to experiment with various strategies and techniques for improving rankings and earnings.

Paid Blogging Jobs at Niner Niner - Is it Worth It?

However, the ultimate goal of the site is to help it's users find new bloggers based upon their interests, preferences, and ratings.

The Lazy Writer's Way to Find Reputable References

Many writers of web content are required to include reputable references to back up their articles. If you write for Demand Studios, this is an uber-necessity but other sites such as Associated Content, WiseGEEK, and Suite101 also require the use of references.

Residual Income Update - What Does Summer Hold?

May is over and I did pretty well in residuals, but not as well as I'd hoped. It seems that my earnings on eHow were down somewhat, which I'm sure is a result of the beginning of summer, the ending of school, and families on vacations or out in the sun. However, I only submitted 22 new articles in May, and still managed to meet my modest monthly goal, so I'm not too disappointed.
