Webanswers earnings April 2015

I still spend some time with online writing after the dismal exit of Squidoo. I am now investing time in my own blogs as well as Webanswers. Webanswers still has some earning potential in 2015 and yesterday alone I managed to earn $3 from the site. Granted this is small scale compared to the three figures I earned daily but it still goes to show that there is still money to be made online and as I always say every little helps.

My total Webanswers earnings for the month are approaching $10 which is alot less than I expected but I guess I abandoned the site for well over a year and it takes a while to get your presence and earnings back again.

If you still ask and answer questions for Webanswers please share your experiences below.

Make money writing about nail art

Are you a fan of nail art and design? Perhaps you have your own nail salon where you beautify women's nails on a regular basis? If so why not make some money from your hobby.

It is rather easy as all you have to do is write about a particular nail art or colour and show a picture in your post. You can provide details of the products used and a short tutorial on how to do the particular nail art. If someone likes your picture they are going to want step by step instructions on the easiest way to copy your design onto their nails. I find video tutorials are the most popular

Next I will show an example of how I make money from nail art. I have a nail art website and you can see one of my favourite posts here. I am expanding this website to feature products for sale and some general nail health issues which many of us encounter. I earn primarily through Google Adsense right now but do plan on adding other advertising and affiliate networks at a later stage. I promote my posts through social networking including Pinterest which works very well for nail art.

Writing on hot trends on Squidoo

Many people struggle to find inspiration and ideas for their writing, and occasionally I am one of them, but normally I am bursting with ideas. If I am stuck and my mind is blank I normally focus on hot trends or current trends, whether it be the latest Disney character or a particular season.

One hot trend I have written about is Fifty Shades of Grey, my Squidoo page '10 books like fifty shades of grey' is one of my best Squidoo lenses at present. I do know that this is not an evergreen topic but I have found that you can do quite well with hot topics. This page is ranked second in Google for the keywords 'books like fifty shades of grey'. I should work on backlinks and move it to number one spot,as there is quite a difference in traffic between number one and number two position in Google.

If you are looking for current trends to write about I would suggest Valentine's Day themed articles, St Patricks Day themed articles and even Easter pages

Why am I a freelance writer

Well throughout this blog I have talked about various writing sites I use to make money, but did I ever tell you why I actually write? If I did apologise for being repetitive.

I write because I enjoy it. The thing I enjoy most apart from making money, is seeing traffic spikes to my online content. The majority of my online writing is at Squidoo where I am doing very well. I am finding my offline job stressful due to long hours including nightshifts and weekend work. I like many other people believe life is for living and it is far too short so I want to maintain a balance between work and play. When I am not at my offline job I am either on the internet or with my family or boyfriend. I want to devote more time to online writing and my family and less to my offline job, therefore I have asked for less hours in my offline job. I have only been able to do this because I have worked so hard online building up my portfolio of work. This has helped me overpay my mortgage significantly reducing my debt and monthly payments. I like to play it safe so if my online portfolio disappeared completely and I had less hours in my offline job I could still manage. Therefore I will be spending as much of my free time as possible expanding my horizons online and paying down my mortgage debt.

Why do you write?

Freelance Writing Earnings December 2012

Well it has been a while, since I updated my readers on my freelance writing earnings! There have been some massive changes in the past few years, most of which have been positive. I now spend most of my online time at Squidoo, where I have built up a large online portfolio of content. As a result I am earning through Squidoo Tier payments, Squidoo Amazon, eBay and Cafepress sales, as well as my own Amazon associates account. I will not disclose my exact income as I do not want copycats. I put down my success to spending hours working on particular niches, particulary gift guides and watches. I also sell Squidoo lenses and am available if you would like me to build a lens for you. I am investing my freelance writing earnings in bonds and overpaying my mortgage! I made four figures writing online in December and if you read back in this blog that was one of my aims a few years ago!

January 2011 Writing Earnings

I have been very lazy and once again abandoned my lovely writing blog, mostly because I am writing elsewhere or publishing my earning reports on other sites.

But in January I managed to earn $1034!! This excites me greatly because January is always supposed to be a bad month earnings wise. The majority of my earnings come from Google Adsense!! I never thought that I would be able to earn $100 never mind over $800 with adsense in a month. And the good news is that February is looking even better than January despite it being such a short month.

In future I will be updating my earnings on several different sites including:-

My Google Adsense Earnings

Last month represented a great month earnings wise, as I reached £248 from Google Adsense in total. I had a very successful Hubpage, which was based on a longtail keyword, which did very well in both Google Adsense and Amazon, and possibly Snipsly.

As for Helium I wrote many quality articles and started promoting my articles through social networks. My next article will be on the promotion tools available for freelance writers and how they can drastically increase your earnings.

April 2010 Earnings Report- see how much I earned in March 2010

I love doing these freelance writing earnings posts to let other writers and bloggers know that it is very possible to earn hundreds of dollars every month from the internet. I was on holidays twice in March and still managed to get my second highest ever google adsense income, plus I did something I never managed to do before. A record month for adsdaq too and I am very happy. April has also started out rather well for me.

Google Adsense March 2010- £233.04 ($354)
Half of my google adsense came from webanswers, and the other half came from two of my blogs, snipsly triond and xomba.

Helium- I managed over $19 in page views from Helium in March 2010, another record in page view earnings. As a result I am super motivated to make $25 from pageviews in April, and have written three new helium articles already.

Triond - $0.32 from pageviews. It is also important to mention that I got over $5 from Triond in google adsense. I am pleased with this cos I no longer write at Triond. I am considering submitting some more keyword research articles there.

Associated Content- $0.73. A site where I no longer write, although I always had dreams of getting to clout 10 lol.

Adsdaq- I worked hard on my blogs this month and did get good traffic on some days. My March earnings at Adsdaq were $15.24. This took me over $62 in total on Adsdaq, so now I am waiting on my first payout. This shows me how good a money maker blogs can actually be and encourages me to build some niche content blogs with backlinks which will help sustain traffic.

Chitika- $0.80, not great. But better than nothing. Plus payout is at $10 so should reach it by year end.

Kontera- $0.61, I only started using Kontera during the middle of March.

Amazon Affilates- now for the thing Ive never done before. Yep thats right I eventually sold two affiliate products from amazon off my hubpages getting me $9.68. Hubpages". Hubpages is a great way to earn google adsense and sell affiliate products.

March 2010 writing total earnings $400.55 (£263). Can I earn more than $400 in April 2010? I hope so. If you want to know keep following my freelance writing blog

February 2010 Earnings Report

This earnings report is delayed as I was on holiday for a while at the start of March. I am pleased to say my google adsense revenue in February was back up to the recent highs of 2009. I also had a record adsdaq earning month. This was all due to alot of work on my blogs and posts on the Olympics and Oscars.

Google Adsense February 2010 revenue £225.45 ($342)
Adsdaq Revenue £8 ($12.15)

I only wrote a few articles on Helium and a Helium how to and earned around $19 for my efforts

March google adsense revenue is much less than feb since I was on holidays for the first part of the month. However I will try and work as hard as possible to ensure I earn a decent income from google this month. Other news is that snipsly are now offering kontera revenue, so I have just signed up for kontera and will be monitoring my kontera revenue closely.

Freelance bloggers - paid bloggers writing ideas, my blogs and freelance writing updates

This week I have been neglecting my freelance writing sites like Helium, in favour of working on my blogs. I have two main blogs I update a football streaming blog, and a mixed bag blog. I have been updating these two blogs over the last week with trending topics and have noticed a surge in my earnings both on google adsense and adsdaq. One day last week I managed to earn $61 in adsense and over $4 in adsdaq.

Ideas for bloggers to write about this week are:-
Vancouver Winter Olympics- schedule, live streaming sports, medal count, videos of performances
Champions League football- four mroe champions league games this week
BAFTA- BAFTAs are on tomorrow and should get some decent traffic

Other news on my freelance writing work is that I am still waiting on getting my first how to guide published on Helium, and having my first task approved on mahalo. I am trying to experiment with new things so not to have all my eggs in one basket and to also help increase my passive income.

How to earn a four figure income from writing year after year

If you are a keen freelance writer chances are you are doing it to make some extra cash. By extra cash I mean a four figure income. It is much easier than you think to earn a 4 figure income from writing year after year. So how do you go about earning thousands of dollars from writing each year. There are many ways you can earn thousands of dollars, a four figure income from freelance writing.

A four figure income from freelance writing the hard way!!

Earning a four figure income on Associated Content. If you are an associated content writer who does not get paid upfront payments you can earn thousands of dollars per year from your performance payments. However if you are a clout 1-6 then you need to get around 56000 page views per month to enable you to earn $84 per month and $1008 in one year. That is alot of pageviews and would require alot of writing. Even if you were a clout 10 you and received $2 per 1000 views, you would still require 42000 pageviews a month.

Some easier ways to earn a four figure income from writing

1) Earning a four figure income from Helium.com. Even if you do not enter a contest or sell a marketplace article you can still earn a four figure income from Helium easier than what you could at AC. It goes without saying that if you did win contests and sell marketplace articles you could make thousands easier. Anyway back to the average writer who cannot win a writing contest or sell an article. It is possible to earn thousands of dollars from Helium each year because Helium pay all their writers upfront payments if they have a writing star. Now say you have four writing stars this means you qualify for $2 per article and $3 for empty titles. By writing 400 articles in a year, 200 at $2 an article, and 200 at $3 an article you earn $1000 for upfront payments alone. 400 articles a year is around 33 articles a month. Now you would not need to write as much as this as you will be earning page view payments for your articles and you may sell an article through stock content. This is a much easier way to earn thousands of dollars year after year from freelance writing.

2) Mahalo.Com

Mahalo is a site I have just joined recently, and the earning potential is endless. You can earn from answering questions, tasks, managing pages and creating how to articles. Mahalo pays you a percentage of the adsense revenue from the pages you manage. They also pay you sometimes as much as $12 for creating a page. Many users are making thousands of dollars per month from this site. I will give updates after I have used to site for a while.

3) Google adsense- I will consider adsense again, as I have posted over and over again how much money I make from it. I do earn a four figure income from google adsense every year.

4) Freelance writing job sites such as odesk, guru, elance and getafreelancer

Earning a four figure income from writing is easier than you think. Get started now and earn thousands of dollars from freelance writing each year.

Easiest ways to increase daily google adsense revenue

If you use google adsense as a source of income and you are not happy that your google adsense revenue is increasing as much as you would like there are several things you can do. Increasing your daily google adsense revenue will take some work but will be worth it.

Firstly it makes sense you need to write more in order to increase your daily google adsense revenue. If you have a website or blog make sure you add blog posts on a daily basis. This means the search engines will index your posts and your blog post will appear in many updated feeds. If you work for a google adsense revenue sharing site the same applies. Taking webanswers as an example, try and answer a set number of questions each day and ask a set number too. After a month or so you should see an increase in your daily google adsense revenue.

Secondly write on some niche blogs. Blogs are free to create, all you have to do is keep them up to date. I have several niche blogs as well as a current trends blog. I try to post on each of these blogs several times a week in order to increase traffic and also to increase daily google adsense revenue. However it is hard to stay committed to several blogs. If I can sustain traffic and daily google adsense revenue to a particular blog I may hire a writer to update it for me

Another good way to increase your daily google adsense revenue is to write on current trends. Current trends are searched for by billions of people worldwide so if you write a good story with suitable keywords and a catchy title you could get lots of visitors. Thousands of visitors are a great way to increase daily google adsense revenue. I may try and do a weekly post suggesting some current hot trends for people to write on. I never have enough time to exploit all trends so I may as well share them.

Finally employ SEO. Many people find SEO difficult so I think I will try a do a post on how to use SEO for beginners some time soon. Basically SEO focuses on selecting a keyword. The keyword selected should be popular and with little competition. Therefore when you write a blog post with this keyword in the correct keyword density your blog should rank high in google search. However this depends on how many backlinks you have to your blog, the page rank of your blog, and the other competing sites page rank and backlinks for this particular keyword.

Factoidz.com writing review- why everyone should write for Factoidz

Factoidz.com is yet another paying freelance writing site. Factoidz may be a new site but it is receiving a large amount of traffic on a daily basis, and traffic means money. Factoidz current alexa rank is 26762 with 360 links linking in. Factoidz also has a page rank of 4 meaning it ranks well in google search engine.

Factoidz is good for new writers and those starting out who want to experiment with SEO. The fact that the minimum payment is set low at $1. Factoidz pays into paypal. Why not give Factoidz a try. You can write about anything on factoidz, but the best articles are those that are focused on current trends such as Valentines day and the superbowl. You get paid a certain rate depending on whether your articles are rated low, medium or high quality, and after you write 20 articles you move on to the stage of staff writer. Staff writers are supposed to get higher rates than normal writers.

After joining factoidz you normally have to go through an approval process before you can start writing. This process involves submitting one of your previously published articles on another writing site and its URL.

However if you join Factoidz under me here you will not have to go through the approval process, instead you will be immediately approved as a writer.

January Earnings Report 2010

Okay the first month of 2010 was good to me, and I hope it is a sign of things to come. This time last year I was barely scraping $50 a month. Now I am making a few hundred dollars each and every month.

So where did my money come from in January
Income from blogs and revenue sharing - Google adsense $230.97
Adsdaq $1.64
Income from freelance writing - Helium $41.58, of which $22.58 was from pageviews. My highest pageview payment from Helium so far.

I am also expecting some squidoo earnings, which I will post around the 15th February.

Plans for this month are generally to keep writing on Helium and to increase my pageview earnings to $25. I am also wanting to gain more traffic to my blogs and to keep my google adsense income stable

So far my google adsense income has bought me £900 of premium savings bonds. So I am hoping to have £2000 of these bonds by the end of 2010.

How to earn more money on Webanswers

I have been asked by many people how to succeed on webanswers or how to earn money on webanswers and now I have decided to help all you webanswers fans out by posting some tips on how I use webanswers to make me over $100 each month. Before I start I do not spend all day on webanswers and during this last month I would say I have spent under 10 hours either asking or answering questions on webanswers and still managed over $160. That equates to $16 an hour.

The best ways to make money on webanswers or indeed any revenue sharing site are the same.

1) Quality- If you are asking or answering a question make sure you are specific and incorporate true facts and detail.
2) Use popular high paying keywords, check out the adwords keyword tool for finding keywords and their estimated cpc. Pick a keyword that is popular and has a high click vale.
3) Quantity - the more answers and questions you post the bigger chance you have of gaining more revenue. I aim to answer at least 100 questions a month and ask at least 50.
4) Create backlinks to your rewarded answers and any questions you ask. By creating backlinks not only are you increasing the traffic to your content you are also helping to boost webanswers visibilty in the search engines as a whole. Webanswers is currently page rank 4, if it gets to 5 we will see another surge in earnings and traffic I am sure as answers will rank higher. There are many sites you can use to backlink to your content including xomba,snipsly, hubpages, squidoo, infobarrel and others.

By following these tips you should see your earnings grow month by month and you should make enough money from webanswers to get a google adsense check each month after answering as little as 500-1000 questions.

High Paying Freelance writing jobs for Finance Bloggers January/February 2010

If you enjoy blogging and are looking for a high paying freelance writing job for January 2010 then you should consider the numerous paid blogging opportunities online.

There are several high paying freelance writing jobs for those interested in finance and investing. In my opinion here are the top three finance blogging jobs available at the minute.

One high paying writing job which caught my eye was a tax blogger job. This blogger job will involve writing one article of around 750-1000 words per week, and will likely pay quite well due to the high paying niche. There are three high paying jobs going and if you know a lot about tax saving tips, the IRS and how to fit taxes into your investment strategy then you should definately apply. Unfortunately in order to get this high paying writing job you should probably possess a qualification in taxes and be working currently in that field. This is likely to be a long term writing job which will pay quite well so if you meet the credentials get applying.

If you are interested in credit cards and credit card debt then perhaps you may be interested in the second high paying writing job I am going to feature which is Credit / Personal Finance Blogger. This writing job requires you to write around 3-5 articles per week and be able to use wordpress. No payment given but I am sure if you are a quality writer you could discuss payment. You can only apply for this high paying writing job if you reside in the USA or Canada.

Another finance blogging job is looking for those that are interested in writing about budgeting. They are also looking for experience in the finance field and qualifications would look good and possibly net you this high paying writing job. This is also likely to be a long term writing position which requires 500 word posts and pays between $20-$30 per blog post.

How to get more pageviews to your articles

If you are a freelance writer or indeed blogger you will want to know how to get more pageviews. In the writing world more pageviews equals more money. Sites like Associated Content pay $1.50 for each 1000 page views, so if you can write 5 articles a day which get 1000 pageviews each you earn $7.50. If you struggle to get pageviews to your articles here are a few things you can do to get more.

1)Use SEO ;it has been said over and over again but it is true. If you use a popular keyword which has little direct competition then you have a good chance of featuring on the first page of google for this keyword. If this keyword is searched for 100 000times a month you have a great chance of getting thousands of page views. Of course if you are in the top position in google you are likely to get at least 10% of the search engine traffic, which is 10 000 views.

2)Write on popular topics. Search on yahoo buzz or google trends for the things making the headlines. These topics do tend to have a lot of competition, but if you write a quality article, with a catchy title, and promote you should see a soar in page views. It is only a few weeks away from Valentines Day so you can be sure in the next week or two Valentines will be a trending topic. Do not get left behind start writing about Valentines now.

3) Promote your articles. Add your articles to Digg, reddit, social marker and other social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and myspace, but be careful not to spam.

Getting more pageviews to your articles is easy with a bit of planning and forward thinking.
