Writing for Factoidz

I have been trying out different revenue sites and Factoidz is one that seems to be working well for me again. They have updated a lot of their features and things are going great there!

You can write articles on anything that you want on this site and they give you a small bonus for each article plus residual pay on everything. You are not required to do a certain amount per month which is great! The bonus is based your views and other things on the site.

It is a fun site that is very easy to learn. Each article has to be 400 words long. They also pay for referrals once they have done 20 articles on the site.

One more thing I love about this site is that they pay you on the 1st of every month no matter how much or little you have made with them! If you don't work that month, you still get your residual earnings.

Here is an example of an article I wrote for them about 'The Bachelor' 2012.

The website is Factoidz, but please use my referral link if you decide to try it out.

My Facebook Fan Page - What is Yours?

As a writer, I have started a Facebook fan page. I use this page to reach out to people who enjoy my writing and to share articles. I also use it as a place to post articles that I know need a little bit of help and need people to click on them. I feel like this is a great way to get new readers, but to also make my writing more personal. 

Do you have a Facebook fan page? Do you think it helps you in your Work at Home Adventures? If so, please share it in the comments so that I can make sure I have liked it for you!

Here is my Facebook fan page if you are interested in it.

Working for Gather News as a Writer

I have recently started working at Gather News as a writer and love it! They do not pay upfront, but pay per views for articles. It is a lot of fun and there are many options. I do entertainment and celebrity, but they have other news channels as well. If you are interested in applying, go to www.skyword.com. Please let me know if you apply because once hired they also offer a $50 referral fee to writers. Thanks and good luck!

How Associated Content Works

When you first start writing for Associated Content, it can be a bit overwhelming. You are allowed to pick assignments off the desk or write about anything that you want to and submit it yourself.

If I am writing about coloring pages, parenting, travel, or product reviews just to name a few, I submit them up upfront payment. You will get anywhere from $2 on up to $7 or more. Your upfront payments will increase as your clout increases and your page view average. I have seen mine going up lately.

You can also submit as display only. This is what I do on articles such as television reviews, music reviews, movies, and book reviews. They do not pay upfront on these. If a popular show such as "The Bachelor" is on, I can write a recap of it. I will get over 3,000 views in one day on it. You want this type of article to post right away plus they won't pay upfront on it anyway.

I have received upfront payment on a few articles that are music or movie related. One example is this article about Lady Antebellum. Another article that I received upfront payment on was Top 10 Quotes About Love from the Movies. These are considered evergreen which means people will still look at them months or years from now and not just this week or month.

I get paid to write a few TV articles on AC, but this is because I am part of the program with a beat desk. They contacted me about this on their own. To get these options and also articles targeted to you, the best way is to write about what you love. If they like your writing and have more in this area, they might contact you.

They are also changing their featured contributor program. I do not know much about how the new one will work, but will blog on it when it goes live.

Writing for Examiner

I have a new place that I love to write! It is called Examiner. I am the Oklahoma City TV Examiner. It is a lot of fun. They only pay $1 for articles with a local spin, but they also pay for views and it is good! They have a science that they figure it out with but it is better than other places. I wrote an article last night about the Super Bowl and it did great!

The article I wrote was about Christina Aguilera messing up the words to the National Anthem. This article got over 23,000 views just last night. It has already made me over $150!!! I am so happy and I plan to put some more effort into working here.

Please if you decide to apply use my name Mandy Robinson as a referral. They pay $50 per referral if you get hired which is great money! Thanks!
