My Blogging World ~ 2020 and Beyond!

This is my first Blogger blog and it is likely visitors performing an organic search via the search engines will land at this blog before they find links to my other Blogger (Blogspot) blogs. The description for this blog reads:

Welcome to My Blog Stop!, a freestyle home business and personal blog, curating advice, tips, and information for work at home professionals; and blogging about general subjects of interest, art, entertainment, views and opinions, society and culture, etc. This website complements and supplements multiple WAHM projects grouped together as Cmoneyspinner's Home Business Projects on Facebook. Thanks for visiting!

The post archives for My Blog Stop! date back to 2014 and a lot has happened since then. That being the case, this post is to inform blog visitors about my multiple WAHM projects and redirect them to my other fun misadventures in the online world.

My posts at this blog which mainly discussed blogging and writing and other advice, tips and tricks for work-at-home professionals were exported to a new blog called My Blogging World.

2018 was a good year. 2019 was a better year, except for the month of December. My husband passed away. His heart finally gave out of him. I am blessed to have been married for 4 decades. I carry on because I know that's what he expects me to do.

So now it's 2020 and we are in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most people are staying at home and working at home. For me, there were no adjustments to be made because I've been working from home since 2007.

• My newest project is publishing a newsletter: T_Fox's Newsletter. (I'm working on coming up with a more catchy name. That one sounds kind of drab, huh? LOL.)

There is a super easy-to-use tool provided by Substack, Inc. You can create an account free. You can set up your newsletter as a free subscription or a paid subscription. I set my newsletter up as a free subscription. My plan IF I get enough subscribers is to charge a small monthly fee or an annual fee. This is a long-term plan.

After all, ever since ad blockers, it has been very difficult to trying to monetize your websites and blogs. In addition, this health crisis has totally changed the way everybody does business.

My short-term plans include continuing with my work-at-home efforts that are showing some profit. These projects include:

• blogging (Blogspot and Tumblr),
• article writing (HUBPages, Medium, and Vocal.Media),
• affiliate marketing (mainly via Twitter),
• social blogging and forums (Virily and Forum Coin),
• dabbling in bitcoins, and
• freelance work ~ odd jobs.

So as you can see … I have been staying busy.

Thank you so much for visiting my primary blog. Here are the links to my other blogs:

You Can Earn Income From Writing

I am active in various Facebook Groups and Google Plus communities which share blogging and writing tips and tricks, work at home advice, etc.

One question that pops up consistently is:

• What are the best sites to earn from your writing?

The question would be a lot easier to answer if everybody agreed on one uniform definition for “best”.

My idea of “best” might be another person's idea of “mediocre” because the particular sites that I think are terrific don't really suit the other person's criteria for making money consistently and achieving their financial goals.

So the “best” that I can do is say the best sites that have worked for me.

♦ Forum Coin, Postloop, and MyLot are social sites and/or forums that have paid me consistently.  The easiest way to earn at these sites is to just be active.  If you are active on social media and earn nothing; then you can be socially active at these sites and get paid for it.

♦ My HUBs or articles published at HUBPages generate income.  As do my pages and posts at Wizzley, Writedge, and Daily Two Cents.  The income is earned mainly via a Google Ad Sense revenue-share plan.  Publish evergreen content at these sites and then let the content generate residual income, while you work on other writing and blogging projects. 

♦ Medium is a site I use mainly to share republished content and redirect traffic to my primary income-earning websites. However, if you are a good writer you might be able to make good money if you sign up for their Medium Partner Program. I have not signed up as yet, but here is what someone else has said about their experience.

♦ Listverse is another writing opportunity: Write & Get Paid $100. Sound too good to be true? It's true! I checked.

However, at this point, Medium and Listverse are on my To Do List.  I need to work up the courage up to submit my work. The competition is overwhelming and I'm terrified of rejection. I just need to get over it!

Anyway! Don't let my fear hold you back! If you've got the confidence and the skills ... Go for it!

♦ Another potential income opportunity that I have yet to embrace is selling articles. I am at SEOClerks (a forum I joined via Postloop) where I see people selling their articles. I haven't tried it, but if they can make money from selling articles, why not me?  This is an income-avenue to be explored in the future.

FINAL POINT:

♦ There are all kinds of writing opportunities out there and newsletters or blogs one can subscribe to for opportunities. I subscribe to Freedom With Writing. Check out this post: 38 Blogs that Pay Writers $50+ for Guest Posts.

Hope you found this post informative.

Blogjob.com - Can First Impressions Be Trusted?

Don't know if you will trust my judgment on this but my first impression of Blogjob.com is: “Oh yeah! I can work like this!”

Some of the features that make me want to use this site:

• Free blogging platform (uses Wordpress)
  
• Reward and Points system (earn rewards or points then redeem for cash or other) ~ Cash incentives program discontinued.
  
• Google Ads allowed (revenue-sharing 25%; 1 out of 4 times your ads show, and three times, ads belonging to the site owners show.  It's fair!  They bear the expense of maintaining the site.)
  
• Affiliate referrals and advertisements allowed.  No revenue share.  What you earn from affiliate marketing is 100% yours.
  
• Zemanta plugin works (can pull in related content from around the web)*
  
• Learn a lot of tips and tricks via forum discussions
  
• Nice management or staff support and nice community of members
  

* Zemanta TIP:  When you selected Related Articles to share, check the link and make sure the post still exists.  Sometimes the database does not update and posts that appear with thumbnails, are no longer pubished.  Important blogging tip!  Posts you share should enhance your content and not contaminate it with links to nowhere!



Have only been there for about a month, but the experience has been positive.  The blog I created at this site is called:  Cmoneyspinner Keeps on Blogging.  (Hope you subscribe.)
