More work sources for content producers

TextBroker although I hear the pay is low. In the contract there's a word spelled wrong, that is so tacky. I registered, in anything comes of it, I will let you know. I hope it doesn't, I don't really want another low paying job.

Mahalo the rates for the individual jobs I saw mentioned were steep, but it was also mentioned that there was quite a bit of work involved in each job. I signed up, again, I will let you know if anything comes of it. I was supposed to get an automatic email confirmation and it didn't arrive. And yes, I checked the spam box.


RentaCoder
is another one I learned of today. I had seen the listing before, but I thought it was all for technical programmers. I saw a graphic design job that I placed a bid on today.

LovetoKnow requires their writers to post 20 articles per month. I hope they pay well, that's a heck of a rule. They didn't have any categories that interested me in the slightest, so I didn't apply, but I'll keep my eyes and ears open, in case I hear more about them.

WRG- Writers Resource Guide? No, Writers Resource Center, WRC? I don't know. Once again, if anything comes of it, I'll let you know!

BellaOnline I saved the best for last. This site is fantastic, the level of support for writers is unparalleled. You don't get paid for clicks or hits, but you do get to place affiliate links in the newsletter. I'm writing on budget decor, which is fun. I like to decorate, and I'm cheap. I don't know if I'm good at it or anything, but I can write about it. My keywording is good, today I found a few of my articles on page 1 in google searches. The lady who owns the site is amazing, a fantastic lady. I have a lot to learn from her, I'm loving Bella Online

Suite101 I have been writing for them since December. I was recently promoted to feature writer for my section, it came with a pay raise and a teeny bit of extra requirements. I have upped my article production there from one a week to one a day with the hopes of generating much bigger income in a very short time.

Associated Content
, I have never written anything there, ever. I'm not sure how it works. I keep meaning to try and figure it out. I left helium.com because the pay was insulting and the other articles on the site were garbage, and I hear other AC writers complaining of the same thing, but it sounds to me like the AC writers are making a bit more, too.

Be a Wahm

I just found the WAHM website, and I highly recommend their message boards. There are so many forums with information on companies that hire home workers. Women send annoucements whenever their WAHM company is hiring, and let other moms know about it, so they can apply. It's a fantastic resource, the women are very supportive of eachother.

Don't Spell Things Wrong in Your Header, Dummy

While looking for sites to write for, I came across Just Articles, I didn't apply because they have a spelling error in their header. Maybe I'm lame. I sometimes spell things wrong, but given the subject matter of the site and the prominent placement of the error you'd think they'd have noticed.

Easy almost-writer Jobs any mom can do from home

Um- Okay technically the term would be content producer. Forum Booster is a service that helps create conversations on new message boards to stir up conversations and get people talking. They pay writers to go have bogus conversations on the new website's message boards, so that when the real visitors arrive, it looks like people have been already involved for a while. If that sort of thing sounds like fun to you, consider applying there. They also sell web content articles and blog articles, so when you apply to be a writer there, I am sure you'll get the info you need.

Being a ChaCha Guide is another job I have been doing that's a bit of a pain in the butt so I have temporarily quit, but I'm going back there soon so I can reach the payment plateau of $100. It's a great job for the easily distracted. I think my average time per inquiry was about 1.5 minutes. They give you a Firefox toolbar with quick-search links and you basically just have to answer a bunch of random questions that people send in. The questions come from text messages send to 242242, which spells ChaCha- go ahead, text them any question right now. A real person answers your question. You get 20 cents for each one and you set your own hours and work whenever you feel like it. Super easy. Some of the questions are a bit obscene, a lot of teenagers wanting sex advice.

Google, I have 3 words for you

I love you. Today. It always bothered me that the average search volume and the last month's search volume were indicated with a little bar. In order to choose we had to either click on the top to sort them in order and see that yes, indeed this term is one more pixel-width more popular than the other one. OK, we'll go with that. But today, as I sit to write, I see that they're showing numbers. They all end in zeros, but even rounded-off numbers are easier to look at than little green bars. Thank you, google. Today, I will not say nasty things about you.
