Wrote 2 Short Articles Today

I have just submitted my 2 shorts articles for a blog of 300 words each. It only pays USD 1 cent per word, so you can calculate how much 300 words will bring in. Christmas is just over but the Yuletide spirit still lingers on. And I was in bed almost the whole day to recuperate from my stubborn flu after taking 2 rounds of anti-biotics for the last 1 month. As I felt better today, I decided to work a little by writing articles for income. My mind is clearer now and no longer drowsy from the medication and cough mixture. And Belated Christmas to my readers!

Merry Christmas 2008 & Happy New Year 2009

I would like to take this opportunity to wish my readers a very Merry Christmas 2008 and a Happy New Year 2009. As I am currently down with flu and taking medication that makes me drowsy, this blog will take a 1 week break. I will be off to somewhere later today and then to a mountain resort for the holidays for 3 days 2 nights. After that, it will be a busy week with many calendars to send out for 2009. Wish me journey mercies for the trip and speedy recovery for my flu. Till then, have a good holiday!

PayPal December Payment

PayPal December Payment for DianaTan.net
This is my December PayPal payment for work done in November 2008. Today I got paid USD 201.71 and another smaller payment of USD11.90 for writing articles for a US company. It is one of my highest so far and this month I am not sure if I can match the payment for December as everyday, there will be articles to write. Sometimes revisions are required and I have written about 70 articles with 3 rejects so far. The USD30 was paid out to a company for the cost of express post to send a sample to my boss. I managed to find online the company that sells the material that he needed which was Velcro. Sometimes I just wish I have higher traffic to earn more from my blogs but there there is the trade off of working by the computer almost all the time to get people to visit your blogs and to have many supportive comments.

I don't have the time unlike some blogger housewife to update my blogs every day as I still have to work in the home office attending to quotations, drawings with Autocad, etc. Hence the USD549.71 earned within a month calculates to exactly RM2,000 at 3.64 exchange rate. If only I can earn RM2,000 part time every month from the internet, it will be a bonus for me.

Wrote 6 Articles Today

I guess I am in a marathon to write articles today as there were many opportunities to choose from. Each article is about 300 words at the minimum and 500 words on average. I think not many people can write so much in a day but I took breaks in between now and then. As I am a 4-star writer, my rates are USD1.4 cents per word. For 500 words, this works out to be USD7. This is much better than writing for only USD2 for 500 words which is the market rate for most freelancers web sites. Some even pay a measly USD1 for 500 words! I won't work for less than my current rate and prefer to relax and watch telly than to write so much for peanuts.

Make Money Writing Articles

Just 2 days ago, I was paid USD95.80 from a web site that offers written articles for clients and work for writters. I signed up in October and slowly accumulate my earnings up to over USD90 in a month. That means I have been writing articles on a daily basis upon signing and logging in. After entering my TIN - Tax Identification Number, I finally got paid to my Paypal. Yay! So now that I know the system works and will check and login every day for new job offers. And I was lucky to chance upon this brilliant web site using my Google Alerts to inform me based in keyword search. With plenty of time in my hands, I get to moon light writing articles to earn some pocket money. And this arrangement works very well for me indeed.

Time for some recreation



After working hard over the week, it is time for some relaxation and recreation - www.partofthegame.tv, a web-TV for football that you can view in your free time. Yesterday, I got an offer to write 7 articles but turned it down as I was still feeling drowsy from taking a cough mixture. I am having a heaty cough and cound not concentrate on work. Hence instead of working, I just relaxed and enjoyed my time being carefree just like a child. No worries about making making or anything of that sort but to seize the moment and be stress free.

Continue with Writing Articles

Today, my former client emailed me for an article to write on Tax Avoidance. It is about 500 words paying USD8 per article or USD1.5 cents per word. I took it up because it pays more than the normal rate compared to a freelancer's web site where you have to bid for very low paying writing jobs. If this works out well, I could be writing an article a day for him and he pays promptly right after I submit my work. So far, he is happy with my writings and there are hardly any revisions unlike other fussy clients. I am also bidding for a job to convert to PDF and add images to the contents. In this tough financial times, the little work that comes along are most welcomed from the States.
