<p><span style="font-size: small;">We had a superb Chat session last night discussing Profitable Bloglancing For Freelance Writers.&nbsp; One thing I discovered was quite a few members are a little mystified&nbsp;about&nbsp;how you can make your blog posts&nbsp;put some cash into your pockets.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">I have to admit I was the same until I started to delve into it!&nbsp; Anyway, just to make things a bit more clear, I've added an article to the Articles section of the site.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://bit.ly/bloglancingarticle" title="Profitable Bloglancing For Freelance Writers">PROFITABLE BLOGLANCING FOR FREELANCE WRITERS</a></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Would be a good idea to read the Chat debrief as well.&nbsp; It's on the forums.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">By the way, <em>BLOGLANCING</em> now appears on Google!&nbsp; See what comes up when you search!</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: small;">In one form or another there has been a lot of talk about ebooks around here and other places on the web.&nbsp; Are they any good?&nbsp; Is it real publishing? How do you write them?&nbsp; Should you write them? and more importantly, can you make any money from them?</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Well I'm a big believer in ebooks!&nbsp; You may have noticed I use them a lot, not only as a promotional tool to attract new members to Writelink, but actually sell some of them as do millions of others.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">It's been in the back of my mind to write an ... er ... ebook on how to do this, but Nick Daws has beaten me to it!&nbsp; I don't mind as I've just reviewed his course and found it an excellent publication for anyone new to epublishing.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">If this is something you've been considering, but don't know where to start, you'll find the review here:</span></p> <p><a href="../mod_articles/article/7181" title="The 10 Day Ebook"><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">The 10 Day Ebook</span></strong></a></p>

</span>Indeed there are!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">Used mobile phones believe it or not fetch anywhere from a few pounds to &pound;150 depending on condition, make and model.<span>&nbsp;

<p><span style="font-size: small;">I certainly hope not!&nbsp; The reason I'm bringing this up is because I've had a couple of emails this week from new writers asking about content providing sites.&nbsp; Co-incidently this has also cropped up on the site recently so I thought I'd update an article I wrote a couple of years ago when the very same questions were being posed.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Both the emails I received wanted to know whether you could make any real money from writing for them.&nbsp; Some writers can and some do, but most do not!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">In fact, if you are not careful you can spend hours and hours crafting quality articles which may or may not earn you a few dollars.</span>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">In view of this, you going to expect me to advise you to steer clear of these sites and look for more lucrative opportunities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Wrong!&nbsp; You can make some good money posting articles to these sites, but not in the way they intend!</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;">Take a look at the article, </span><a href="http://www.writelink.co.uk/community/mod_articles/article/7089" title="Writing For Money Or Writing For Peanuts"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Writing For Money&nbsp;Or Writing For Peanuts?</strong></span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> to find out more!</span>&nbsp;</p>
