Freelance writer jobs

My freelance writing earnings are dropping month by month. I am not happy about this and am trying to put more effort in this month.

Google adsense continues to pay me monthly but my last high of just over £250 has not been met since. This month I earned £165.64.

Google adsense earnings breakdown:-

Xomba £82.61, pity here is I lost my account. But I am still earning google adsense on previous posts. I am also considering opening a new account.

Webanswers £69.48. Another great month at webanswers as the admin continue to develop and improve the site.

Infobarrel $4.04. Not bad for only writing 11 articles on this site, and a massive increase for last month's infobarrel earnings. I am planning on adding a few more articles to my account. Possibly aim for another 4-6 articles this month and see if I can earn £10.

Hubpages £1.19. A drop in earnings here which disappoints me considering I did two new hubs. Must try harder on this site. But some sites work better for others I guess.

Other writing sites which are paying me include:-

Squidoo $1.15. Squidoo used to pay me over $10 monthly but I abandoned this site until this week. What I like about squidoo is the fact that you can also experiment with affiliate marketing. Additionally it is great for those with websites as it lts you create high pr backlinks. I am planning to draw up several lens over the next month and see if I can generate some ebay or amazon sales.

Helium $15
Triond $0.64
Adsdaq $3.62- an advertising site which pays me for US traffic on my webpages.

Aims for November are to continue writing for google adsense, as well as squidoo and my websites. Monthly earning aim for November is £200, as I am charged at 40% tax this will net me £120.

I have not had as much time online recently due to the birth of my first niece two weeks ago. Work and other aspects of life in general are meaning I am spending less and less time online in my pursuit of a $1000 month from google adsense.

Despite this my online earnings are still very respectable in their own right given the lack of time and effort being put in.

I no longer write on my writing sites but they do still continue to pay me so I will mention them here

Triond 50 cents
Helium $15
Adsdaq $6.11

And as usual my biggest earner was google adsense which brought me in £218
I have been spending some time trying to write for higher paid keywords and popular topics.

Xomba £113 This is the most I have earned on Xomba in a long time due to me writing on more high paying keywords.

Webanswers £73.97, Webanswers paid its users $6000 in September so that is a good thing to entice me into answering more questions

Footy Blog £23.38 Best amount earned on my footy blog

Hubpages £3.60 A record amount on hubpages. Hubpages has a great alexa rank and this should encourage me to write more

Generic blog £ 1.78

Infobarrel £1.30

Other google adsense earnings come from odds and ends.

Probably the biggest thing for me is the fact that I now have to pay tax on my google adsense earnings, and even worse is the fact that it is 40% tax.

With regards to this month I am not going to set any aims or goals and am going to try and do as much as I can. So far my online earnings have allowed me to purchase £500 of premium bonds so you cannot beat that.

Its the beginning of September and as the summer draws to a close it is time for me to detail how much I earned in August. I will keep this short and sweet.

Adsdaq - $8.71 an improvement on July's earnings. Trying to get up to $10 this month

Triond - 55 cents. I no longer write at Triond

Helium - $15.07. I no longer write at Helium. I may write there in the future but for the moment I am very busy with google adsense and my collection of blogs.

Google Adsense Earnings - £228.69 ($369.67)
Here is a breakdown on what is earning me my google adsense revenue

Webanswers - £109.71

Xomba - £83.32

Infobarrel - £2.88 Not bad considering I wrote 10 articles at the beginning of August, and have only been approved for 3 weeks. I plan to use infobarrel much more in the future to build up page rank of my blogs. The great thing about Infobarrel is that it allows do follow links in your articles and I have noticed some blog traffic coming from my articles.

Hubpages - £0.82 A site which I have not fully exploited, and one which I plan to use for increasing page rank and backlinks to my blog also. Hubpages has an amazing traffic rank and ranks very well in search engines.

The rest of my google adsense revenue and earnings came from my blogs

Total amount earned in August was $394.

I am pleased even though it is down from last month. However I do expect September to top both July and August's earnings

I am very pleased today as I checked my bank account and realised I had received my third google adsense payment by electronic funds transfer. In my opinion this is one of the best ways to receive your google adsense earnings as it saves you the hassle of having to visit your bank to cash or lodge your checks. Receiving your google adsense earnings via electronic funds transfer is available for a range of countries and currencies. Check out google help to see if it is available for you.

For those interested I received £252 ($421) from google adsense and while this month I have not reached the dizzy highs of last month I am still very pleased with my continued success with google adsense.

A big thanks to google for my third google adsense payment.

Xomba is one of the best google adsense revenue sharing sites and if you are not a member I suggest you join. However I for one was not convinced when I joined at the start as I earned very very little. I went away clicked on some ptc sites for a while and got paid a few dollars and thought this is so easy. Before long ptc sites turned to scams and I stopped getting paid. It was then I realised that google adsense and Xomba were the things I was looking for to make money all along.

I decided to investigate Xomba and created a few posts and sure enough earned some cents. The breakthough came one day when I earned over $10 from one post, I sat up and thought this site is for real. I dont make $10 everyday from Xomba, but I do try and post 2 or maybe 3 xomblurbs a day there. This month so far I have made $82 with Xomba, pretty good considering there are another 11 days left this month. Xomba alone will earn me enough to receive a google adsense check and I use other sites as well as Xomba. So how do you know what to post at Xomba, I mean there is just so much information on the net.

1) Post something you are interested in. No point posting about plastic surgery if you dislike it and know nothing about it.

2) Look at google trends. For example coming up to Valentines day you may wish to post links to site that offer valentines day flowers, chocolates, poems, cards etc. Millions and millions of people will be searching for this information, so if you write a catchy title and good content, chances are they may land on your post

3) Monitor your posts. Everytime you write a xomblurb or xombyte, add it's URL to your google adsense channels and monitor the impressions and clicks. If it gets no impressions or clicks, go back and edit it, perhaps chance some keywords. However if it does get many impressions, write something similar. Currently I am writing many many xomblurbs on sports and monitoring them, if I see something does well I repeat the process over and over.

4) Promote your work. Xomba has a very high alexa rank, in the top 2000, but if you want more visitors to your work, then add xomblurbs and xombytes to social networks such as reddit, propeller and so forth. If you visit social marker then are many many social networks advertised there.

5) Write often and as much as possible. The more you write generally the more you will earn. It is sometimes good to stick to the same niches too, so if someone ends up on one of your posts and wants to explore more they may end up on another of your posts.

6) Use keywords with little direct competition. If you pick popular keywords that are not used by other sites then your post will rank higher in the search engines.

I full recommend Xomba to all thos wishing to earn some google adsense revenue. However patience is the key and some things work better for some people compared to others, but you will not know unless you try. Join Xomba here and let me help you.

Firstly two apologies, one is for the fact that I have not posted here for a few weeks now, and two is for the fact that my blogger template went a bit funny on me today, hope it is fixed now and people can read my blog again.

As the months have been progressing I have been putting more effort into google adsense and my blogs, and diverting away from freelance writing sites such as Helium, and so forth, not that there is anything wrong with these sites. I just felt for the amount of effort I was putting in I deserved more of a monetary reward and decided to investigate google adsense.

My google adsense earnings are slightly down this month but I am pleased to report I still have earned a few hundred dollars from there this month. I will be posting my earnings in depth in another 10 days or so. I love learning more and more about google adsense and what things get me the most traffic and indeed earnings. Other big news is the fact that me and two colleagues are in discussions to create our own google adsense revenue sharing site, and hopefully this will be live sometime soon, will keep you posted.

Thats me for now, just wanted to let you know I am still around and still very much working with freelance writing specifically google adsense. Next post I am going to give you some tips on how to succeed and earn some dollars with Xomba.

I cannot believe it is the 1st August already so it is time once again to update my readers with my July earnings, and what a fabulous month I had.

Firstly I did not write anything for Helium, Triond or Associated Content as I am concentrating on google adsense. However I managed to do much better on all three sites this month earning wise.

Helium earned me $17.20 for pageviews alone. Now I really wish I had written something on Helium to boost my earnings to $25.

Triond earned me $0.76, so I will receive a small payment from there

Associated Content earned me $1.70, so I qualify for a payment from there too

Adsdaq, the new advertising I have on all my blogs, earned me $6.88, a massive improvement on last months, however still not enough for the $50 payment.

I have saved the best to last, google adsense earned me $421. I am still experiencing great success with my google adsense revenue sharing sites, plus I have started some more niche blogs. I am going to have a hard time this month beating last months total!!

Total earnings $447.54, almost three times last months earnings!!
