I currently write a regular column for an RV magazine, write for senior magazines, business articles, regional travel magazines and online publications.
I am interested in subsidizing my income while I am working on getting my affiliate business profitable. If you need any writing at all please contact me.
Are you just looking for private clients and pay right now or something you can work on long term? I just got hired at http://brighthub.com and they have a ton of work needed in several niches(or channels as they call them). The pay is not the highest. It is $10 for a 450-550 word article but you also get a percentage of the ad revenue your article receives month after month. I just finished my first article and it was pretty easy.
I have a list of a bunch of other places too like this if you want more places to check out. If you are just looking for private clients though, hopefully someone will ask you soon. I have gotten a few good contracts through here!
Thanks for the info. I just want to work! I will definitely check out brighthub as you suggested. I don't like the pay but it does bring in some income while I am working on others things. I got one client through Elance that was worth while. Have you tried it? I am also letting SSWT members know I am available if they need any writing done. Thanks again.
I forgot to mention that I have picked up several contracts through the information and opportunities found on the http://wahm.com/forum
I just picked up one there last week that was writing for .04 a word. That is something I can work with when a lot of places online these days want to try to get away with paying one or two cents a word.
Just sign up, and scroll on down until you find the WAHMs who Write folder. Tons of stuff in there. Lots of posts on a regular basis. You can also find other types of jobs you can do from home. Sometimes there are writing opportunities in the WAHMs who Telecommute folder too.
I know, nowadays, we need to keep building up our nest eggs so that we have a constant supply of work when something else runs dry for awhile. I have some places that don't pay very much but always have work, and I have others that pay really well but only have work half the time. So, you keep your options open and do what you can.
Thank you! I also write for regional magazines both online and print - do you do any of this type of work? I submit photos which also creates more interest. It is more pay than some of these other places, but it is all work and I find that if I diversify myself into different areas it keeps a bit of money flowing my way.
Take care and thanks again.
I have never actually tried writing for magazines. I just figured it was a different style of writing than what I like to do. I probably wouldn't know where to start looking if I wanted one.
It has taken me three years to build up my reputation and to get together all of the contracts and resources that I now have. By the year 2013 when my two young boys are both in school full time, I should be able to work full time and actually see enough of an income to live comfortably from. I am just now looking into places like bright hub where I can also get residual income building up so that will be an extra bonus.
As long as one keeps pursuing their dream, and tries wherever they can, I believe they can make it. Others may choose business models that are more passive, and if I liked keyword research, finding niches, and promoting affiliate products, I would choose a different model. But I love to write and meet new people and see what everyone else is up to. So I enjoy my line of work.
Keep me posted if you end up getting anything with Bright Hub or from any leads on the wahm forum, I would be interested in seeing how you make out.
