Ehow Announces Spring Contest
My favorite residual earning site, Ehow, just announced a Spring into Action contest with some really awesome prizes (including CASH!)
Check out the details here – Ehow Spring contest – and enter often.
Residual Income Power
The type of income I crow most about is residual income. I LOVE residual, or passive, income. Really! Who wouldn’t want to be paid over and over again for work they do once?
Residual income is often talked about online. Many places promise passive riches: thousands of dollars every month for doing one tiny job. In reality, residual income takes a bit more effort to build up. And it takes time.
I’ve been actively writing online for about two years now, but have only been concentrating on building residual income streams for half of that. In that time, I have built up a substantial passive income. Three of my bills are paid each month with work I did months or even years ago.
The three best places to earn residual income for writing are, in my opinion:
EHow – They only pay in residual income, but the rate is high and SERPS are good.
Bukisa – It’s a newish site, but I’ve reached payout easily in a short period of time.
Associated Content – They also pay upfront, but their residuals build up.
Of course, your mileage may vary. Your residual income amounts will depend largely on how much you write, the topics your write about, and your skills with keywording.
Status of "Write your Future" Book
The free version of the “Write Your Future” book will be debuting by the end of the month. I’ve been sidetracked with other writing projects, especially fiction, and haven’t gotten around to working on it.
When I do complete the free version of “Write Your Future” it will be available on various ebook download sites online. At that time I will be starting a comparison of the multiple venues and their ease of use and effectiveness at marketing the book itself.
Write Easy-to-Read Articles on the Internet
When writing for the Internet, it is of the utmost importance to make your articles easy to read. The majority of online browsers will not waste more than 10 seconds on your website, blog, or article if it does not attach their attention. With that short window of opportunity in mind, it is important to learn how to write easy-to-read articles on the Internet or you will have no readers at all.

Easy-to-read Articles on the Internet – Subheadings
One best ways to make your articles on the Internet easy-to-read is true the use of headings and subheadings. These usually bold font titles break your article up into manageable chunks that are easier to read. Not only does it conquer the problem of huge blocks of text, if 10 also assist people in finding exactly what they’re looking for.
Several New Places to Get Paid to Write
I have been finding more places to potentially get paid to write cropping up recently. The two I am currently testing are Scribat.com and AddsYou.com.
The first is a site where you can upload unique content and sell either usage or full rights to various publishers. It sounds much like Constant Content or Daily Article in that regard. The entire website is not complete yet.
The second place just moved into Beta stage. You can earn $1.75 (at the moment) for 1,000 page views to your content. They do not require exclusivity, which is a very good thing at that rate. I have uploaded several articles, page views are registering, but no money is represented in my account yet. They admit they are still working on functionality, so no worries yet.
