Currently, in addition to everything else I do online, I am a journalist and Editor over at WorldNewsVine. And, a while back (in fact almost a year ago, how time flies!) I told you about writing how-to articles for eHow.

I do have to admit that my schedule, after doing five or six pieces, became so crazy it was very hard to get back into the step-by-step method of writing. However, there is money to be made writing for eHow and you do not need a web site or a blog to write for them. In addition, they have recently teamed up with Demand Studios.

If you’ve never heard of Demand Studios there may be a good reason. Typically it is difficult to get accepted by them. A quote from their welcome email states:

You are in good company at Demand Studios. Our writing community is a select group of writers who produce high quality articles for several brand-name websites on the Internet.

Your fellow writers average more than six years’ experience as professional writers and have been published in publications like “The New York Times,” “Rolling Stone, ” “ESPN the Magazine, ” “Runner’s World” and “Reader’s Digest.”

That’s some “resume” and great experience and exposure. I tell you this for the sheer fact that there are numerous ways to make money online. One of them is writing and building a reputation for yourself.

Consider writing for a living as you decide what direction to go or what to select online.

Recent posts (and throughout our archives), we demonstrate proof that there is money to be made online. And today’s post will be no exception to that rule. In fact, you’ll be downright excited at the prospects if you choose to keep reading! (We give you facts and figures for the truly skeptical that support what we’ve been advocating… blogging/writing your way to wealth). (more…)

Yesterday, while Entrecarding it, I came across Michael’s So-Called Life.

And… his July 8th post most certainly caught my attention

We’ve talked here on this blog (and will continue to talk) about various ways to make money as a blogger (see our numerous postings in search form here). We even spoke about our testing of SocialSpark and getting paid to write.

And, not to leave website owners out, we’ve covered ways to make money that rely on your skills not your ability to talk “Aunt Sally” (remember her?) into buying into that next “hot program”

So it wasn’t surprising that the universe provided us with the perfect outside source – Michael – who also was talking about writing for money, AND giving us specific examples of just HOW MUCH MONEY (for him). (more…)
