I've been away for quite sometime because I just haven't been sure how to proceed with this blog. It seems that most of my readers here are interested in writing for upfront pay, which is great, but I've moved on to working more on residual income. For this reason, I've started a new blog devoted entirely to writing for residuals.

I've sorely neglected this blog for the past six months because I was just burned out on the whole writing online "scene," so to speak.

While the site pays on the lower end of the scale, it might be a good starting place for beginning writers looking to get some experience in web content writing.

When I first joined the site in 2008, how-to articles were written for a flat-fee of at least $20, sometimes considerably more. Certain articles, such as video game walk-throughs, paid as much as $250. Search engine results pages (SERPS) paid the least, but they were easy to complete and I felt the compensation was fair, particularly http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheFreelanceHomeWriter/~3/e-wsjTMXIeA/mahalo-review-earn-upfront-pay-and.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Willow Sidhe)3<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheFreelanceHomeWriter/~4/e-wsjTMXIeA" height="1" width="1"/>http://freelancehomewriter.blogspot.com/2010/04/mahalo-review-earn-upfront-pay-and.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5667204246409599445.post-879846449043615496Sat, 17 Apr 2010 22:46:00 +00002010-04-20T10:05:29.927-07:00Residual IncomeIt took me a while to decide on a replacement for eHow, since their change in platform left me with no place to publish my content aside from Suite 101 and HubPages.

I haven't posted in several months, but the time has come for an update. I've had an extremely busy year so far and what little free time I've had, I've spent working on niche blogs that have just begun to make money.

November wasn't my greatest month as far as upfront pay is concerned, but I did have a pretty good month in residuals.
