Well summer is well and truly here, and with it comes another update on my earnings. All I can say is things are definately looking up for me.
Helium $26 - I was not that active here, and did not write that much but still to come away with $26 is pretty good. The main reason is the increase in page view revenue I seen this month. I got just under $12 for page views.
Triond 77 cents - As I discussed previously, is Triond worth my freelance writing time? I have definately concluded that it is not and I no longer write for Triond. There are many other freelance writing sites to keep me busy.
Associated Content - 62 cents. Associated content is not a great payer for international writers in my opinion. I only write 7 or so articles at Helium a month and yet I manage to around 40 times more.
Adsdaq $1.53- This is a new ad network I have started using. The good news is it can be used on the same page as adsense. Here you display different banners and are paid for US impressions. My traffic is not that great yet but I can see the potential of this ad network and earned over 40 cents one day recently. They payout through paypal when your account has reached $50.
Google Adsense $125 - I saved the best for last, a google adsense record for me. My google adsense earnings are up more than 100% from last month. This is a combination of different things, firstly I have increased my participation in webanswers, xomba and infopirate. Secondly I have updated my blogs more often, and finally I have tracked my adsense channels and seen what made me money. I am currently waiting on my first google adsense check, and now I am glad to have made payout for my second.
Total monthly earnings = around $154, my best month's earnings as yet

Infopirate -another way to earn google adsense revenue
As I strive to earn more and more with google adsense I am always joining new google adsense revenue sharing sites. I was told about infopirate by someone on Xomba, and by the way Xomba still rocks massively for contributely to my adsense earnings.
I joined infopirate a few weeks ago and stupidly added my google adsense id incorrectly into my infopirate account. Please remember to include the ca-pub-, before your publisher number. Infopirate lets you write blogs and add bookmarks. I primarily use the bookmarking feature to draw traffic to my blogs, and it works. I havent posted anything onto infopirate in a week but as soon as I added my adsense publisher number, correctly and monitored my infopirate account in my adsense account, I could see some clicks. I would say this site is well worth it,as brings you traffic and google adsense revenue, what more could you want.
You can add bookmarks in various topics including health, sports, entertainment, business and finance, technology, and many more topics. The good news is that by adding your bookmarks to infopirate you earn 80% of the revenue generated by them, yep 80%. Pretty good for a google adsense revenue sharing site, as most share no more than 60%.
Make more money with adsense, join infopirate today. You get 10% of referral earnings, so if anyone joins under me, leave a comment here and I will help you as best I can.

How to write a complaint email
I am just back from a 5 day break in sunny Portugal, which I thoroughly enjoyed. However I paid extra for a poolside view which I did not get. While the apartment and rest of the holiday was fantastic I do not appreciate paying for something and then not receiving it. Therefore I am writing an email of complaint to the holiday company. I decided to write a post on how to write an email of complaint. If you go about writing a email of complaint the correct way you will surely be reimbursed, whereas if you do not you may not even get a response.
Firstly when sending an email of complaint, start your email with something positive. In my case I am going to say what an excellent holiday I had, and how I was pleased with most of the package. In the next sentence then I will state what I paid for, ie an apartment with a poolside view. I will then go on to say I did not receive this and that I understand there is a massive demand for such a feature but at the same time I feel that I should have been granted what I paid for. Finally it is good to ask for some compensation in as nice as way possible and also mention that you would like to continue using the company in the future as you were pleased with everything else.
When writing a email of complaint make sure you keep your tone polite but to the point. Include any necessary facts and if possible attach any related documents, such as receipts, booking numbers, etc to help strenghten your complaint. If you do not receive a reply from your email of complaint within a week then send another email with a firmer tone.

Health writers needed- high paying writing jobs
Freelance writers are always on the lookout for high paying writing and high paying ghostwriting jobs.

Why not write to all four titles and have a chance of earning $208 for 2400 words work.
Here are the details of the 4 high paying ghostwriting jobs:-

This article should look at current treatments for chronic pain and promising treatments on the horizon. Look also at typical causes of chronic pain and how it is diagnosed.

Ways to manage cancer pain

Triond payment received but still not worth it
I have been a member of Triond for a over year now and I ahve to say out of all my freelance writing sites this one pays the least. I have added a few new articles this month, and with 25 articles on this site I have managed to accumulate 42 cents in Triond earnings for the first two weeks in June. Sorry to Triond fans but my time is worth much more than that. I recently posted one of my articles on three of my writing sites and as usual Helium is paying me alot more than Triond and Associated Content put together. With 99 articles on Helium I have over $5 this month so far in page views, and also have earned some upfront payments.
You may ask why do I still use Triond, and the main reason is the low payout, and the fact that you do not have to request it. It is just deposited into your paypal account on the 15th of every month. I do doubt whether any freelance writers are earning more than a hundred dollars a month on triond, whereas I know at Helium this is very plausible.
So am I going to say goodbye to Triond yet, well probably not. They still have some of my articles, and I may as well collect the monthly payments no matter how small they are. I doubt though I will spend anymore time writing for them unless they decide to increase their page view revenue or else offer an upfront payment.
For the record I managed to get paid $1.12 from Triond this month, not great.

Helium.com- updates and best earning article
As all my freelance writer job readers know I write for Helium. Recently I have not had as much time to dedicate to my freelance writing on this site, however my daily revenue sharing is increasing by the day. This month already I have over $4 earnings in pageviews, not bad considering I have only written one article. I do plan to add at least another 5 articles by the end of the month in order to help me achieve my fourth writing star.
I got brilliant news today that I sold one of my published articles for $5. I have no idea which article it is yet, all I know is that the article remains at Helium.com and I can still earn daily page views on it as well as the fact that another publisher can buy it. This is my first article sold to stock content, and I hope it is the first of many.
As for my articles, I have had great success with a few titles this month namely Birthday presents for a boyfriend, which has earned me over $1 a month and looks set to beat that this month, and my best ever article Sites for freelance writers to earn money
In my opinion Helium is one of the most stable writing communities where you can make a few extra hundred dollars a month by being a freelance writer. I plan to increase my freelance writing earnings on this site, as I am now saving all my paypal earnings for forex trading.

High paying ghostwriter jobs
A ghostwriter is a freelance writer who is hired to write books, articles, and manuscripts, without actually having their name on the work in the form of a byline. This means you basically do the writing and someone else puts their name on it. This may not sound fair and is not a good idea for those wishing to build up a writing portfolio, but it is a very high paying writing job. Therefore before you say ghostwriting is not for you, take time to sit back and work out if the money you are being paid is actually worth it.
Ghostwriters are some of the highest paid freelance writers out there. I have done a general browse around and found some of the high paying ghostwriting jobs to prove my point. One example on elance is a ghostwriter required to rewrite a first draft of a book around 250 pages. The client is willing to pay the selected ghostwriter up to $5000, thats around $20 per page just for rewriting. The job does state that there is no research required. Pretty easy money, here is the link to the ghostwriting job. Better be quick it shuts tomorrow. Another ghostwriting job which is still open is here. They will pay you up to $15 an hour, which is reasonably good freelance writing pay, for 10 hours a week. You could even fit all those hours into one day and make the $150 daily. This ghostwriter will be required to write blog posts, and articles deemed suitable for magazines.
In summary the benefits of being a ghostwriter are the high pay and the experience and knowledge and possibly further freelance writing work you acquire by being a ghostwriter. However the disadvantages are the fact that someone else is taking the credit for your work, and by being a ghostwriter your writing portfolio will never develop. I think I shall try and include some high paying ghostwriter jobs in my regular high paying freelance writing job posts from now on.
