Change in Publishers
Nov 23rd, 2009 by Diane Ursu
I made a change to my Links list, to the right, and I think you might be interested in knowing why.
Removed Links
I don’t want to promote web publishers that pay very little and are not worth a writer’s time, unless that writer is a hobbyist.
- Associated Content: It is nearly impossible to make a decent residual income with Associated Content, these days. Upfront fees are very little, as well.
- Examiner: I am going to resign from my Examiner position. I simply am not making that money. Unless a writer has a popular topic, such as Twilight, there simply are not going to be enough hits to make a difference. Since the new search changes with Google, page views have been down for many, and generated income is barely worth the work put into writing a title.
- Helium: This is a web site that many writers don’t want to be associated with. In order to do well with Helium, one must not write well and must spend all of his or her time rating other articles and posting in the forum. There are some potential upfront fee articles that pay well, but the winner of a rating’s contest is the one who gets the prize. No, thank you.
New Link
I just added a link for Elance. While I haven’t gotten any jobs, yet, I have only made five contacts. I will put forth more effort and see what I can do. In the meantime, I believe Elance is worth a try.
