Writing Articles for Money Online

ORIGINAL POST with Links

Being a money making writer does take a little luck; maybe.

You Make Luck Happen

Reports from the industry say that you’re broke. Not only broke but also depressed. Maybe this will motivate you to do more; maybe not. The industry has a secret I’m going to tell you in my blog posts here at Over and Out. Everything is going to be alright. If you want to become a successful writer you can. You can do it in under a year. You can begin to make money this week. ____________________________________________

Get paid two times a week. If all you are hearing is the bad news, you’re not looking for the needle in your haystack. I found mine in 1997, and I never let it out of my sight. I do not know how far these posts will go.

I believe in having secrets but my cat is out of the bag. Everyone knows I have secrets that spill out onto my posts when I am writing because I dont go back and delete I just keep writing. That’s the power of my brain at work. I let it write for me and then I go back and find out where my fingers made the mistakes.

That’s secret #2 and I want you to know that this may be the most important secret of all.

You are losing your opportunity to utilize your best writing tool. And yes, it’s your brain. These posts are meant to be a little funny, a little learning, and a little secret. I cannot convince you, that’s your job.

I am going to let it all out right here though so keep checking in for more ‘Writer’s Revelations’ in 2010 as we move closer to the content explosion that will erupt in 2011.

Questions?

I have a Mindspring question form in the right sidebar of the Over and Out blog.

Use it or lose it!

BDR Racing | Team Nitrousfitz | Updates for this week in February 02/08/10

Next weekend we’ll be watching NHRA from California, and pulling a transmission from the Top Dragster (@topdragster on Twitter) 4200. This in preparation for the best year on record for BDR Racing and Team Nitrousfitz, the online stream of information from a local NHRA division 4 drag race team from Houston.

The Top Sportsman (@topsportsman on Twitter) 706ci BB Chevy Corvette just finished fabrication the new plenum scoop plate that will increase airflow significantly. Testing the new part will commence next month at Houston Raceway Park’s March test and tune (see a previous post for the time and date).

Our Top Pro 4550 (@racinga468 on twitter) is ready to begin bracket racing (ET) in March as well. This year expect to see this car in the winner’s circle more than once in 2010. The race to be the best doesn’t stop in Texas, it stops in California.

Other than that, the work that began a few months ago at the end of the 2009 NHRA drag race season is coming to and end. The work we did this off season will propel the team even farther this year.

The biggest races this year will be the two NHRA national events which will have top sportsman and top dragster in the line up. Keep watching as we get closer to a National event in Houston for Top Dragster and a NHRa national event in Dallas which will feature top sportsman.

I recommend that you become friends with the author on Facebook to see images and videos of the 2009 season.

Welcome to Internet Streams (Pt 2)

Ask people who use the internet what they think of it today, and most will tell you that the think they know how to get around pretty well. The truth is, they really don’t know what they’re talking about. The next wave of internet savvy user will have more choice, closer relationships, and become better informed. The information they follow will be the information from friends who are connected and not only do they travel and use the internet for their own benefit, the broadcast a stream of their history as they go.

Portable, relevant, and digital, this stream of information will let friends and followers see what they saw, like it or not. The more social that the internet becomes, the more real the internet becomes. No longer will the flow of information be shaped by the writers, programmers, and businesses that promote it, but backing up each bit of information you can find on the internet, there will soon be a follow-up to the data. The follow-up comes from the websites and portals of streams that break down to each person who initiates a connection through one of the most popular and not so popular websites available today.

The practice is being used today on portable devices and desktops around the world. The most visited sites today are those that have hundreds of millions of users interacting with each other outside of business. The sites are using cookies and tracking software embedded in advertiser paid ads. So goes the way of the stream. Instead of a group of followers and fans leaving behind crumbs that others can find and follow, they will be reviewing and recommending not through words% but through actions. Traffic will be organically generated by a stream search bar which takes an excerpt of the information being viewed. Keywords will be used to find friends that share similar information and actively connect using a stream to interact with their friends. Here’s an example of what I find most interesting about the whole stream thing. Imagine this: Sean Walsh is getting on the #25 train from the West Belt to Rice University in Houston. The trip takes forty two minutes and instead of cracking a book to study for his midterms he pulls his research pad out from his favorite rucksack, the on the had from his first year in high school. The leather is worn but it it reminds him of his parents, they always wanted him to excel in his studies and his pack proves that they are always on his side. With his pack on his lap and his research pad turned on and immediately he gets notification from his friends. Good morning Sean! Sarah is only other person from high school that goes to Rice and is always one first to say hello. Sarah leaves good mornings on stream the night before so when her friends log on they all now that she was thinking of them.

Sean smiles as he thinks of the small girl with dark hair who has become a great friend since coming to university. Sean minimizes Saran’s notice to find a red alert flashing in his task bar. He clicks on the little red exclamation point to see his friend Rick Water’s avatar come up in a separate window. Rick’s status says “I have the Bio Research Notes on my blog” next to it is the link to his blog and when Sean clicks on the link, Rick is notified that one of his friends utilized his notes.

Sean, Sarah, and Rick are going to be the core group of users who have been utilizing social networks for most of their life. As they expanded their social circles at home, they also advanced their social circles world-wide. These kids will organize the world in such a way that no longer will advertisers be able to create information that will inevitably be read, they risk losing touch with the true user of information online and what they are enjoying unless they are a part of the lifestyle these users interact with. The local economy will be trimmed down to the truest of recommended and trusted shops and retailers. The streaming internet will be partial, private, and most of all, wanted by anyone who wants to be seen online. When Sean, Sarah, and Rick let you into their stream you will be able to take advantage of their expertise, their insight, their knowledge.

So Rick’s research pad may be a great tool for him now, what, the iPad changed along with the Kindle. The manufacturer of the research pad rick uses included the best computing, reading, and traditional work tools all in one too. Rick can download and read any book in the world, he can write a book and publish it quickly, he can surf the web, internet, email, but all he really uses it for is school and stream gathering. Following the links his stream shows him or the part of the stream is likes to follow on that day.

rick gets streams from 192 of the best online friends you can find. He selected these streams because they are all relevant to him. to his likes and dislikes, his favorite sports team, race car driver, Rice University professors, classmates, and even from Trudy at his job. Trudy still likes cartoons and even though Sean won’t admit it, he does to. So he can see what Trusy has been up to whenever he likes because his stream subscription have everything he needs to get the news he uses and nothing else.

Forget about keywords people, think

Say Hello to Internet Streams (Pt 1)

Say Hello to Internet Streams (Pt 1)

Where are you going and where have you been?

Even before making their first dollar online, bright online content developers need to understand what it takes to see their dreams through to reality. People like me know more than they can do and do as much as they can. I have been known to mix things up.

This year there is change in my approach, call it a maturing of the procedure. You and I are expecting to see some good things from Powerfitz Publishing and the content that will be produced in 2010. As a writer I am becoming more aware how valuable each word can be, that is why I am building my very own base of content to market rather than selling it away for practically nothing. “Learn how I made the switch.”

Every write needs to look at where they stand against someone like me, I’m poised to make a name for myself and the only things I had when I started was a computer and the internet. If you can write you can make money online. Work for someone else and it’s a job. Work for yourself and you have the possibility of making it very big indeed.

Here’s a little secret that’s not really a secret…

Content Marketing is what everyone wants right now, and search engines are rewarding streams of original content with the best search results.” They might call it a band wagon but I call it band width and with the recent introductions of both Amazon Kindle and now the iPad from Steve Jobs and Apple, The writing for money online trend is moving in a direction that benefits writers and authors and readers alike. The demand for original content to fill the huge amounts of Kindle and Ipad disk space is creating new business models from which to earn an income.

If you are not sure which direction to take your content management, consider keeping it all for yourself and making money from it? The smartest authors are building a private library of “on demand” content that people can come and grab whenever they like. Fans and followers from Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn allow authors and readers to connect.

A business model of content management based on the theory that as the internet evolves into “streams”, a business must have “content” first. Take in account that to build a stream with followers takes on average a year or more before any revenue can even begin to be created.

“How far behind are you willing to get?”

Pamona 2010 (14 days and counting)

Pamona 2010 Kicks off the Full Throttle NHRA Drag Race Season in 14 days

You know it. The NHRA is back on again in fourteen days and that means that for Team Nitrousfitz and B&D Racing, the season is just a few short weeks away. Right now, the off season was filled with things to do. “It looks like the season will have it’s own obstacles too, new and old. The Chevelle project is moving, but appears not to be finished by the time the 2010 drag racing begins for the three drivers and their team at Team Nitrousfitz and B&D Racing. Both dragster came off the end of last year with solid runs. SP4550 is ready right out of the box to win the first race a Houston Raceway Park. The News is big this year and the opportunity is great.

If you didn’t know it, the NHRA is introducing Top Sportsman and Top Dragster to the lineup of races at National NHRA drag races. This makes it possible for two out of the three drivers of Team Nitrousfitz to have a showing at a national event this year. The registration procedures are making it hard for us to get in the race, but if this pattern continues, we will surely find our way into all the division 4 national events that feature either the Top Sportsman or Top Dragster classes. “It’s what the team was built up to do, to get into the races involves having good results at other divisional events and attendance at more circuit races throughout the year.

We will be watching when we can, and racing when we can, all year. Come and say hello! Give us a shout out on your own blog, or just come back and read what else is going on down here in Texas. We’re “Racing for Money” in the NHRA with three different class vehicles, Super Pro 4550, Top Sportsman 46 (2009), and Top Dragster 4200, Team Nitrousfitz.

The Year of the Author

The Year of the Author

This year is turning out to be just like they said it would. Literary agents, publishers, and even authors have noticed that wherever they look, there is a new writer working or an experienced author writing more. Connect this trend with the explosion of social media and an American economic slump, there are more writers working from home offices than ever before.

Just ask Nathan Bransford what is different this year than past years, and he’ll tell you that there are more queries being sent into publishers and agents than ever before. The reason is simple and it gives authors hope that if it continues they can make a good living creating stories and taking notes of facts about what people on the internet are looking for. Content is King and content marketing is the prince that will carry on the lineage of quality writing pays when it is produced “on demand” and has a following ready to read and rate it’s quality. The signs were there all year long, National Writing Month set the ball in motion, and now the best time to prepare a great work of fiction for the internet is right now.

If you’re a writer but you are a new writer I can tell you that I know you, you and me are alike. I am a writer who started writing because my reality changed and I agreed to change with it. I am not just another sheep in the crowd though, I am the black sheep. “Here’s how I plan on getting myself heard through all the baaaaing.”

#1 Write More (How to, Revenue Share, Website content, tagging, categorizing, novels, links, blog)
#2 Social More
Facebook
Twitter
Website
New options
#3 Bookmark More (Social Marker)
#4 Talk More (Blog Radio)
#5 Record More (NHRA, New Fiction)
#6 Organize More (Calendar, Schedules, Meetings)

These are all difficult and time consuming tasks. Each one has it’s rewards and by following along a schedule of activity that is effective, you can become as good as you want to be, or purport to be, or are. The internet has not offered more opportunity to the lowly writer than right now. I am leading the way with my marketing as I get the content rolling out that will make the most residual income over the long haul.

Royalties will allow me to pursue the rest of my dreams, and writing about what I dream about is a great place to start earning money from the things I love to do.

Writing for your own Pleasure

“I’m going to go broke before I make anything of myself, I swear.”

There’s truth to that statement, maybe more truth than I can admit. Writing for money online had been my goal and now that I know exactly how to make money online with my writing I decide that I want to go in another direction, going for broke is a career choice for me. An internet author with exceptional skills is what the viewers want, and they’ll come back to user friendly, web browser books if you interact with them on multiple levels.

If you can stand on top of a round inflated ball without falling off then I would say that you can manage to find a way to make money on your computer. The ball you are standing on is the internet, the the motion you feel under your feet is the ever changing orb that pulses and breathes new content. “It eats old content and takes in the new creative works of people like me, arranging it in order of care.

“How much do you care about your work online?”

I spend a little too much time some would say, collecting and spitting back all my thoughts on this screen. My wife says that if I don’t begin to write articles that pay I might just find myself out on the street. “Good, then I would have to work even harder during that time you say I’m not working. These efforts will result in a following that looks to me for what I have, “The stories” I tell are getting more interesting with each new chapter and more people are looking to me to give them the ending of what I have started. The ending of this story might just be the beginning of something really big, and life changing. The ending must be delivered when the fire is hot, but not before I can cool down enough to expect that once it is reported the beginning will start to emerge. When CARNE VALE is finished, the real work begins.

January 30th is almost here. I know what that means to me but not quite sure how that relates to you, my reader. I want you to know that what I write about has a lot to do with things I have seen and heard and been a part of. I can;t just make up the real parts of an otherwise unreal story. How would I go about describing the places and people I never met? You can find something of me inside me books but the story is not real. Rick Waters is not me, he is how do you say…. “A real man trapped in a fake story”, I’m a fake man trapped in a real story.. “Or some would say.”

“Phil and his daughter, they live somewhere around San Fransisco, have been separated by schizophrenia. Phil doesn’t much care how he spends his time, he has no insight she says.” Phil’s daughter tries to understand Phil, but can’t because she has too much insight. “I’d rather be the blind man in the way of flaming arrows if I could not get away, than a smart man who sees and plans and then dies.”

SO I write for my own pleasure. I talk with my fingers and my computer talks to your brain with the marks it leaves behind when you find something I created. I must write because now I know how to make money and if I don’t then I really be that guy she tells me I am, but I’m not, “I’ll do it my way thank you very much”.
