Thanks for visiting. I'd love to hear your thoughts - please leave a comment.

As you’d be well aware, a good chunk of my online income comes from writing web content.

I was sitting back with my cuppa this morning, perusing my paypal account, and I discovered that, although the month is only three quarters through, my income from writing has, for the first time since I started taking it seriously,  exceeded double my usual monthly income from my part time “out of the home” job.

Keep in mind that this is writing part time, while I’m looking after my two children and taking them to homeschooling excursions. So, it’s very much a viable option for mums who want to earn from home while they’re caring for a family. I will admit, though, that the housework isn’t always up to date, and I’m often working late at night. I’d rather put up with that than have to find work outside the home.

I’m in the process of setting up my first membership site. Actually, I have three ideas for membership sites – for those who know me, that would come as no surprise, LOL.

Membership sites are a great business model because with a regular subscription, you have a good idea on how much money you’ll receive each month. If you provide your members with quality information, there’s no reason for them to unsubscribe.

A membership site may not be the best business to start with, if you’re new to working online. But, it won’t take you long to learn the skills to get started.

So, what skills do you need?

When you’re building your website, it’s vital that you have good content, to make it worthwhile for your visitors to stay. Articles, videos and even reviews of useful products will make sure they learn something new when they visit your site.

But, how does your website look? I guess if you’re in a serious type of niche, such as business, a sensible looking site is okay, but it could still be improved by an attractive header. If you’re in a non business niche – weight loss, dog training or any other niche – a good looking header will improve the appearance of your site, and make the visit visually pleasing.

I’ve mentioned a few times how I’m keeping busy with writing clients. I now have three regular clients I write for, and have also picked up forum posting work through my new writing website. I would say that writing web content has definitely given me the most income online so far. While I quite like writing, and it’s paying several hundred dollars a month, it’s not passive income, and that’s ultimately where I want to go. But, for now, I’m more than happy to write for dollars <G>

I’m not a bad writer, but I will attribute the bulk of my recent success to Jenn Dize’s Power Ghostwriting course.

Yep, again it’s been a while since I posted. I am being kept very busy with writing clients, so I’ve not had the time to work on a new post for this blog. That changed when I heard about autoblogging.

Autoblogging is basically setting up a blog, then setting up plugins or scripts which add content and posts, with no additional work from you, it’s all done automatically. This frees you up to market your blog, and get traffic, which hopefully will convert to income.

After not selling my niche blog, I’ve decided to keep it, and have been driving some traffic to it and making a few dollars in adsense income. Nothing spectacular, but I’m now seeing around 400 visits a month.  So, to monetise it a bit better, I’m planning on writing a short report that fits the niche (again, it’s in the pet niche so I can do it quickly and well) and selling it from the blog. I’ll let you know how that goes as we go along.

One of the methods I’m using to drive traffic to the blog is forum marketing.
