SpikeTheLobsterPay Check Time
January 26th 2009 14:15
Well, the end of the month is coming, so most folks are looking forward to their pay check (or cheque if you're British like me). Unfortunately, freelancers don't get those at the end of the month, so for me it's time to start thinking about my round-up of earnings - to check my pay, har har. I'll get to that by the end of the week, promise.
For the writers out there, I thought I'd mention a couple of newer items that I've run into this month and may have forgotten. Firstly, Helium has started another incentive scheme - a $1 bonus if you're the first person to write on a particular title. That one could work out rather nicely if you have a head full of knowledge to empty. They've also reduced their rating demands to only 10 items in 30 days (quality counts, as always), so getting to the point of being paid is a lot easier now.
Associated Content rolled out their new look. I'm still in two minds about that one: in some ways it's nice, in others it feels like it's unnecesssarily stuffed full of little annoying widgets and things. I haven't noticed any other big goings-on there, though I was offline a lot this month, so may be wrong.
HubPages has restarted a few of the community goings-on, including the HubMob and a weekly HubNuggets update. Given that every time I go there, the place is overflowing with demented pages full of photos of Indian actresses, anything to promote some decent content is a good idea. It seems to be working - over the last couple of weeks, there's been some excellent new stuff (including, of course, my own beginner's guide to making money online).
Constant Content has also been quite active with requests for articles (not for me personally, general requests), though my lack of connection has prevented me from doing much about responding.
My other blog over at Today.com seems to be reasonably secure now as well, with a few followers and some nice reviews. They even offered me a second paid spot, so I should probably try to think of something I can write about!
Here at Orble, my daily hits rocketed as soon as I moved to Wordophilia, which was both very nice and very scary. I seem to get fifty or more visitors a day (*waves*), though few comments. It's nice to know people are dropping by.
Time to do some shopping for food. Earnings blog will be updated by the end of the week, though it's a slow month since I couldn't get online much. That's going to be a touch depressing.
