Wow, where has this month gone? It’s been quite a while since I’ve stopped by here and blogged, but the month of June has practically flew by me! I celebrated my 25th birthday on the 11th, which was quite nice, thanks to my husband and family. The rest of this month has just been applying for writing gigs and working.
I’m now up to 16 articles on eHow, which is bringing in about $8/month. 5 of these articles have just been posted within the last month, so I’m sure they haven’t reached their full earning potential yet. I’ve been making use of the Groups at eHow, posting my articles in a few as soon as I write them. This has helped me get comments and friends on the site…which seems beneficial to my earnings.
Demand Studios is currently taking up most of my writing time. They have changed their queue guidelines so that there is not much of a limit any longer. Before, I had a limit of 10 articles that I could hold in my queue at one time. When I wrote an article, it stayed in my queue and took up one space until it was approved by an editor. After the changes took place, articles that are under review no longer count toward the queue limit. I’ve increased my writing there, and have also reduced the number of rewrites I have received. I decided to branch out from writing only “How To’s” and found that I like the “About” format much better.
I purchased a domain name for my portfolio a few months ago, and I am considering moving my blog over to it. The reason for this is that I like blogging with WordPress on an independent domain much better than using a free blog like this one here at Blogger.com. I just have to figure out how to switch it over, but expect a new location soon!
