Given that the trend in writing is towards the electronic, how do people feel about the shift? It definitely opens doors that were once barricaded to the average writer, but in the glut of supply, had demand gone down? I've...

compumom Right now I work less than the 20 hours a week that I used to work at my part time job. The beauty of residual income is that the money comes in when I sleep, watch my son’s football team, or take my daughter to cheerleading. That being said, I put in a lot...

compumom I honestly believe the only thing that is stopping a freelance writer from earning a lot of money as a writer is the freelance writer. Many of us get paralyzed because of the current economic conditions, the fact that there are so many new writers, because the...

I was wondering do any mylotters use suite 101 to publish articles?? How do they pay? Is it just through revenue sharing or some other means? Do they pay upfront? I notice the site requires you to submit examples of your work...

compumom I've been writing for Suite 101 for a little over two years. I find them to be great. I get paid monthly and their payments are covering my car note and household utilities. Each month I earn a little more. You should really give them a try.

compumom Give it time. I joined in November and wrote 16 articles. So far I've earned $27.95. Most of my earnings comes from folks who signed up under my referral. I stopped writing for Bukisa because I've been busy with other sites (and my own blogs).

compumom You're right. That's true with every site. I took the leap of faith with so many different writing sites and I'm glad I did. So far I've been able to earn a little over $9,000 this year by doing so. If one site stiffs me, I'm still ahead of the game. In...

compumom The site is translated into several languages since it is not a US only site. That might account for the English spelling and grammar mistakes.

compumom I wish you luck with reaching your $100 goal. If you keep at it you'll reach it. I spent more time with my blog than here at myLot, so I didn't make much from here. However, in that two year period of time I earned quite a bit more money writing for other...

compumom Wow! Three to four hours a day for $1.20. You seem to write very well, you should try Demand Studios. For the same amount of time (even less time), you could earn much more. They pay $15 per article. The word count is anywhere from 250 to 400 words. I'm sure...

compumom On Suite 101 you can write whatever you want (www.suite101.com). For Demand Studios you have to write on specific topics. Demand Studios provides the content for eHow.
