With PJN, however, it’s the President and CEO (Kris Jones) who actually responds to your email. Pardon the cussing, but no shit — it’s actually him. I have to say you can’t get any better than that. But you can. PJN has two tools that bloggers can use to maximize their affiliate marketing strategies. You don’t just follow whatever rules the affiliate program offers (of course you still have to go by their guidelines), you can actually talk to the company and propose your own plan for introducing and promoting their products or services.

If there’s one philosophy I seriously live by, it’s to “work smart, not hard”. Learn how you to can make money without too much back-breaking agony. Continue reading for more details. There’s a $10 bonus offer in there, too.

Producing content is not quite as easy as it sounds.
A lot of blog/website owners would like to cash in on the booming blogosphere, but they find it difficult to constantly write unique posts that’ll keep readers coming. Even the best of writers can’t always come up with interesting articles (we have our bad days, too, you know) and sometimes, keeping the blog alive becomes more of a chore than a passion.
More importantly, not all writers can write keyword-rich articles — the not-so-secret key to internet success. SEO …

Despite what other people may insist on telling you, it’s not very easy finding a writing opportunity online that actually pays. Some freelance writers may make it all sound like such a breeze, but trust me, it’s not.
My foray into online job hunting began two years ago, when my offline resources started to dry up a bit. I was looking for a real job in the physical world when I came upon a job posting that was looking for academic writers. At that time I thought it …

I was out sick over the weekend, hence the delay in posts. No worries, though, because here is a list of the past week’s top writing posts, brought to you by Plotdog.Com. Enjoy!

Oh well, you can’t keep a girl from trying.
It’s a little bit like gambling, this addiction to contests, only I don’t have to spend any of my hard-earned money. As I mentioned a while back, contests are the way to go if you want to generate a lot of feedback. As The Net Fool’s recent contest proved, you can really earn a lot of traffic, popularity and readers through prizes.
Lots and lots of prizes.
Now that everyone’s cooking up contests just to beat the competition, what’s a blogger to …

You might have noticed two prominent additions to this website this week.
First, I posted an entry on my inclusion in the W.O.O.F. Contest newsletter of sorts as hosted by Plotdog.Com. Unlike most contests you find in the blogosphere today, WOOF doesn’t actually promise you any of those grand prizes we’ve come to know (and love, of course). What it does, though, is that it allows writers to submit their best articles and creative writing projects for inclusion in a specific week’s newsletter (of sorts). Fellow writers vote …

I finally started that Jobs section I promised. Though it only contains two job opportunities right now, I hope to add more companies and sections in the near future. I say near future, because I’m really swamped with office work (yes, I have a day job), preparations for school (I am finishing my Masters), translation work and content writing. Whew! I feel a bit indestructible when I say it like that, like I’m a superhero or something. Only I’m motivated not by justice, but by …

Yesterday, I received shocking news from someone I didn’t know.
I received notification via Yahoo Messenger that someone wanted to speak to me. Normally, I reject these invitations; yesterday, however, the woman’s YM handle mentioned writing. I was both interested and curious, hence my willingness to chuck the usual paranoia. I accepted the invite and had a short yet shocking chat with the woman.
Did I know a Steve Park? I said, yes, because I had previously worked for him as an academic writer. I found Steve …
