Amazon.com Associates is the affiliate program for the billions and billions of things for sale on Amazon. Amazon.com has recently given it’s Associates site a facelift and rearranged it links and banners and widgets. They have done away with the little doodad that automatically made links out of your content. They recommend replacing it with an Omakase widget, which also looks at your content to pick items for sale from Amazon. Text links have always been the best performer for me. The New Look of Amazon.com Associates is smooth and clean with headers and new groupings of the usual suspects…

A Week Without Blogging
Ok, maybe not quite a week, but pretty close to it. And I have been writing, just not blogging. My work moves me around and there are times when-shockingly-I don’t have the internet close at hand. Yes it is possible to use a dial up connection, but just thinking of that slow death was enough to make me just step back and think about my life as a blogger. I had hopes of becoming a professional blogger and making a living from my random thoughts and silly observations. But I have not quite figured out how to do that yet.…
I Used to Write, Now I Blog
The influence of blogging is overall a very positive force in the media.-Garrett M. Graff If you write it and publish it, your an author. If you write it and blog it-are you wasting your time? The general rule of thumb for writing a novel is to put together a thousand words a day on your way to a hundred thousand word novel. Once you have the finished rough draft, which can take anywhere from a few months to a few years, you proof read for plot logic, tweak the tension here, relax the tension there, arrange it in a…
Make Money Blogging
For the Blogging Purist, blogging for money is not a good thing. An ad free blog is a mark of pride and those greedy sorts that want to make a few bucks with all those banners and text ads, well, they are to be pitied. And there are a lot of people who try to make money blogging-without much success. The common gripe about blogging for profit is there not being enough profits-like 3 cents a day with Adsense, or something like that. When I first started blogging for cash my plan was to have a three pronged approach. One…
Voxant-Blog Earn Money
When I first started blogging I tried to pay attention to what was showing up on other blogs. Adsense is pretty common. Blog ads of all sorts seem to be pretty common. There is something sweet and simple about Blog Earn Money. One of the blogs I read from time to time has what appears to be every know method of making money with a blog. But he used one blogging for profit item I had seen nowhere else. Voxant. Voxant-once known only as Newsroom-is a news feed service. You earn money blogging and embedding a news feed from Voxant.…
Smorty-Blogs and Money
Smorty is one of the better ways to get paid to blog. Like an Adsense blog, Smorty is a form of blog advertising . I have tried to blog for money before, but was never able to get the words or links just right. I needed a little help from Smorty getting the links placed correctly before I could make money blogging. Seems I needed to put in the links while under the Edit Html tab and not the Compose tab-blogging can be tricky.Of course, having a blog earn money is not always what a blogger wants. But if you…
