Writing something we don't like doesn't really pay the bills much better, and we lose the passion. It becomes too much like work, instead of something enjoyable. And isn't the fact that we enjoy it the reason we write in the first place? (Why else would we be crazy enough to put so much time and energy into something that's takes so long to make an income from?!)

I've got an Etsy shop too, still too early for anything to happen. I'm going to pay to promote some of the products on Etsy pretty soon. I prefer to promote Etsy over the Zazzle store as with Etsy we get most of the money and Etsy takes a small cut. Zazzle gets the majority of any sales. The more you ask for the % the higher the product gets and the less that people would want to buy something really expensive.<br />Good article. You might want to add a follow by email button or linkyfollowers etc. I couldn't find anywhere to follow.

In order to qualify for an Adsense check, you need to earn $100. As your earnings accumulate and pass that $100 threshold, then you will be paid by Google, either through check or direct deposit. So after you reach $100, you'll be paid-I've always been paid very promptly with no problems at all!Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536327045486312301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509431010278898045.post-36559750734568083062012-03-16T04:21:20.115-04:002012-03-16T04:21:20.115-04:00Thanks for telling us about Associated Content sit...Thanks for telling us about Associated Content site. I never heard of anyone making any kind of significant money from such sites. I have posted at HubPages and Triond for several years and have made only about $67 in Adsense payments that I still have not collected and possibly never will if what I hear about Google regularly reneging on paying people is true. I have no idea how you do it. Maybe you will post abut that in detail sometime. I hope so.

I've been keeping track of this month's earnings for March, just taking it all in, and figuring out what the Google algorithm changes meant for my revenues. I'll probably post back next month talking about how it all worked out for me. I totally agree--just keep on writing, and look at writing online in a long term view, is the way to success! I notice that my earnings are beginning to come back a little, as March turns to April, and it's encouraging! I'm definitely digging in for the long haul, as a writer.<br />Best wishes and happy spring, -AliAllisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536327045486312301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509431010278898045.post-38338373470731614392011-03-20T14:30:00.909-04:002011-03-20T14:30:00.909-04:00Hey Alison,

I found my own sites went up in the rankings, but anyone I wrote for the rankings went down. HubPages is a site I've been huge on and they got hammered. I hear what you're saying: it's really unfair to judge the worst writing on any site and then call it a content farm. There are some excellent articles and pages out there which were punished along with the bad stuff, and it really is a shame.<br /><br />Glad to hear you have a positive attitude, though. Keep at it. Writing online is definitely a long term thing, but the writers who adjust and refuse to quit are going to do very well in the long run, and there's nothing like living the dream.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Shane "Master" DaytonMaster Daytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12474000076679558912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7509431010278898045.post-3549863177030842732010-11-27T13:52:35.221-05:002010-11-27T13:52:35.221-05:00I haven't used odesk at all, but I have heard ...I haven't used odesk at all, but I have heard of other writers using it...AC and Yahoo Contributors Network is a great, legitimate writing opportunity.
