The Perfect Home Based Business: Freelance Writing

Written by Nick Usborne


There are a number of different ways to make some extra money from home. Based on what you see on numerous web sites, you can earn money by stuffing envelopes, creating web sites or joining a multi level marketing program.

And perhaps some people do make some money that way. But after over twenty years as a freelance writer, I can't imagine a better way to work from home and earn a decent income.

Here are my top 4 reasons why I think freelance writing isrepparttar perfect home based business...

>> 1. It costs you almost nothing to get started.

If you are reading this, you already have a computer and an internet connection. And that's pretty much all you need. Maybe some sheets of paper and envelopes from time to time.

With freelance writing you can start earning right away and you don't need to invest in any additional software or equipment. Your brain and a keyboard are all you need.

If you have some background in commercial writing or copywriting, you really can get started right away. If not, you might want to invest in a good writing course to give yourepparttar 116414 skills and knowledge to do great work.

>> 2. You can adapt your work to your circumstances.

Freelance writing is something you can do full-time or part-time.

It is open to everyone, whether you are single and have allrepparttar 116415 time inrepparttar 116416 world, or have children and can only work for two or three hours after they go to bed, or while they are at school.

Why Wordpress is now my Blog of Choice

Written by Linda J Bruton


The more I use Wordpress,repparttar more I love it. It has 2 very important features that Blogger doesn't yet support.

Number 1, you can set up Wordpress to automatically ping allrepparttar 116413 RSS and blog feed directories every time you make a post. This is a very powerful feature if you want your blog to get a lot of traffic right away. On top of that, you'll be quickly developing backlinks to your blog almost automatically.

Think about how long it can take you to build a regular site, getrepparttar 116414 search engines to index it, get backlinks to improve your listings, and then start getting traffic. A blog like Wordpress can do all that "grunge" work for you automatically.

Number 2, Wordpress allowsrepparttar 116415 use of Categories. Categories are a very powerful way to improverepparttar 116416 structure of your site both for human visitors and forrepparttar 116417 search engines.

Let's sayrepparttar 116418 topic of your site is Widgets. You could create a Category for black widgets, one for orange widgets, and one for green widgets.

Now when you add posts to your blog, you can choose which of your categories your post belongs to. Now your blog will archive your past posts not only by their month and date, as Blogger does. But also by Category.

So if you have a visitor who is especially interested in green widgets, they can easily find all your posts on green widgets. They don't have to go through your entire archives to find them. With a blog that has been around for awhile and has hundreds of posts, that would be pretty discouraging. Using Categories makes it very easy.
