The new face of writing

DoriLentrich @DoriLentrich (1016) • United States 6 Sep 09

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 I agree with you Maryihla. However, the other aspect to online writing that I quickly realized is that the residual income payment model can really pay off in the long run. When I first started writing online, I had to find clients willing to pay my going...

crimsonladybug @crimsonladybug (3112) • United States 31 Aug 09

Is Passive Income achievable by using the Internet?

xcrizzx @xcrizzx (80) • Philippines 16 Nov 08

Can someone make real money, replacing active income from typical day jobs by surfing the internet, participating in PTC programs and such? How about those "stay at home jobs" websites that has one time registration fees online?...

compumom You can earn a great stream of passive income from the internet, but I don't think PTC is the way to go. I agree with ucl800. If you like writing, you can write for sites that pay you residually for your articles. I've been doing this for a while. I quite...
