The month's gone already. Hmm. Looking over my goals, I did manage to make some good progress on site #1, and rankings are steadily increasing.
Site #1 got it's branding, along with the "Start Here" guide and 5 videos completed. I also recorded 3 of the 25 FAQ videos, and created a lead...
They already do. Look at YouTube, as the biggest example, and compare it to other video serving websites.
Then look back at how Google+ came and went -- it outranked other social networks, with ease.
Their maps results have taken over the top spots, and when you go to search for directions...
With writing, you get what you pay for. $5 to $10 article writers have to write thousands of words every day to bring home the bacon, so you're always going to get hit or miss content, with "reviews that are not so good". It's just the nature of the beast.
That said, there's a service on BuSo...
Looking over my business strategy last night, and getting some help from @Ryuzaki gave me some vision on how to proceed forward. Gracias for that, sir.
I spent yesterday searching for an expired domain to use as site #3 in my journal, and found one with killer metrics to use, and tons of...
There have been times I've been in the car, talking about going someplace, pull up Maps, enter in the first letter, or the first digit in a 5 digit house address #, and Google has given me the direct address at the top of the results. On numerous accounts -- it got so bad that I started telling...
Those are just other footprints you can use. I wasn't using them mainly because I didn't think of them lol ;P
I'm from a technical background, so my brain instantly jumps to finding footprints in the coding, vs page titles.
Nothing wrong with that approach, though! Not in my mind, at least.
PostRunner is abandoned these days. My previous mentor built it with a business partner, then after the membership closed down, the tool was sold off, and allowed to rot. I loaded it down with 5,000 junk posts back in the day.
The Author Score is predicated on whether or not the person...
It definitely helps being around people who are all on their way towards owning one lol ;D Too many try-hards in other forums that couldn't buy their way out of their current position, let alone thinking about actually owning an island.

That's some I found from another forum. Just to give back!
I appreciate all the help!
I was sent a link a few weeks ago that contained a bunch of tutorials on how to target eCommerce owners and provide services that they were willing to pay $1,000 for.
I have no problems hustling and mailing as many of them a day as it takes to get to $1,000 a day (hell, $1,000 a week, at this...
Definitely! I've got a few gigs I've gotta fulfill first, then I'll figure out what all they've got to offer. I have been wanting to start a journey thread, but thankfully I got too swamped! Blessing in disguise, thank you BuSo!
Baller. I just printed that out. Gracias dude! (or dudette)
Exactly what I was finding on those sites. I'm thinking if I produced spun junk, I probably would have landed more gigs lol I'm over it, though.
I never knew about the Pro on Upwork. I am going to get what they need together...
Yeah, that's one of the content farms I tried writing for. The work usually pays $3-$5 each piece, takes a couple hours to write, and then more work is hard to find again.
I didn't have much luck getting direct orders, even with raving reviews on my content.
To be honest, I'd rather go...
Thanks for those tips. Right now, it looks like I may have been saved from Upwork, thanks to BuSo. If I have to venture back on there, I think it's going to be easier to get the gigs, following that outline. My question for this thread started off as "what makes you hire a writer?"
Only if...
I've tried working for the content mills. I ended up averaging around $2.50 per hour, and the work wasn't really sustainable, as far as finding consistent topics to write about on those sites.
If I could find consistent content writing work, I'd keep pursuing copy as a hobby, and something I...
I'll do anything that will bring home the bacon, at this point. Those stats are crazy. Not sure exactly how to take them. I've set my rates on Upwork to $30 per hour, thinking that was "baller" lol ;/
You've piqued my curiosity about raising myself to a narrower group -- seems like I could...
