Get Paid Lots

For those of you who are not already writing at Helium, it might be a good time to start. They are almost in the middle of a special reward period in which you can earn upfront payments for all your articles. Yeah, just $1.00 to $3.00 each, but better than normal.

The secret is to have quality articles and earn writing stars – as many as you can. You also need at least 3 rating stars. The best way to do that is to do at least ten quality ratings per day. (That means you should actually READ the articles and not just click a button.)

Just go to Helium.com to sign up.

OR… if you want to be really nice, stick your name and email address in the comments here and I’ll send you an invite.

Freelance writers and content specialists are in danger of wearing out their fingers, hands, and wrists. Typing as much as 10,000 words per day puts a great strain on these parts. To reduce the chances of conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, those who write articles on line may turn to speech recognition programs. Instead of purchasing expensive software, consider using the free program that comes with Windows Vista.

As I write this article, I am leaving my chin on one hand. The other one is reaching for a cup of coffee. My new laptop came with Windows Vista, and I lost no time exploring its speech recognition capabilities.

If you are a professional freelance writer, you probably already know the power of the reprint. What I’m talking about here are the people who do not consider themselves professionals, but still want to get paid to write online.

I write on a lot of different sites on the internet, but I do not have a freelance writing career. I understand that if my skill and marketing efforts were bent in that direction, I could make a lot more money that way.

If you are interested in writing check out the Accentuate Writers Forum. BEST on the net.
So, where do you put your article to make the most money online? I start with Associated Content. After that, I go for Helium and a couple of different places where you can blog and earn from Google Adsense.

Then I start rewriting my content. Do not use a content spinner. The resultant article will be horrible. Take ten or fifteen minutes and rewrite the article yourself.

Rewritten articles go on the following places: Triond, Informative Post, and eHow. I’m in the process of checking out Daily Article as well.

In years long past, typing at home jobs could be found. People built entire businesses around typing up other people’s reports, essays and even books. (This may be showing my age here!) There may be a few remaining assistants who will take an old guy’s notes and turn them into a manuscript, but not many.

Why have typing at home jobs gone the way of the dinosaur? Because everyone has a computer now, or a laptop or even a phone that can create typed documents with ease. For those without fast typing speeds, there is voice recognition software.

On the internet, typiing at home jobs get advertised fairly regularly. They attempt to pull people in with promises of easy money for typing just a few hours each day. Those who are unused to the marketing-speak of the online world often get sucked into paying “just” $29.95 to learn more about this exciting opportunity! (Is the sarcasm coming through okay?)

But there are no such things as typing at home jobs anymore. There may be some virtual assistant jobs, but you won’t find employers advertising them with flash websites and videos about how you can move to Maui in two years. You’ll find them just like any other telecommuting job out there… on a job site or in the newspapers.

What are these typing at home jobs then? What exactly are these people advertising?

First of all, NEVER pay $29.95 (or any other amount) for the opportunity to work or to get a supposed job. Second of all, get savvy about how people make money on the internet. There are three potential reasons someone would want you to start typing at home for them.

1) Typing advertisements onto classified sites or even paying for ads in papers

2) Typing articles you come up with yourself (also called writing!)

3) Typing forum posts, comments or blurbs on sites… pretending you are interested in the topic but really spamming links or ads (which is really annoying and morally questionable)

How does this tie into how people make money on the internet? The top two ways to make money online is by selling information, sometimes through affiliate programs, or freelance writing. These typing at home jobs have you doing things – and making a fraction of the actual profit – that could be done directly by you to build a considerable income.

Stop trying to find typing at home jobs or opportunities, and think about what people really want. It’s not typing. They can do that themselves. It’s content, or advertising. If you can create good content or advertising, you can make money for yourself.
