High Quality and FREE Digital Images, by ME

Free High Quality Images

...never worry about copyrights again...

by drew de jesus

Many sites like bubblews have super restrictive policies when it comes to photo crediting. Not to mention, most of the image storing sites display them on search engines without any information regarding the legalities!

Sometimes people can think they're crediting a photo properly when in actuality that photo was stolen from somewhere else entirely. If the true owner of the picture comes across an improperly sourced image, it can really lead to trouble!

That is why I want to provide high quality digital images for FREE, 100%, for anyone to use in ANY endeavor. If they're making money with my pictures, then good for them! That's what I say!

I have literally just begun to build a collection, any so far there is a grand total of ONE image up there! But it's pretty! It's a lovely pink rose that would go well with a personalized Valentine's Day message.

Representatives Are People, Too

I make a lot of calls to the Customer Service department of different companies. I have never been treated badly by someone who was trying to help me out, so why should I treat them badly?

On rep was actually speechless when I told her to have a great day after we had taken care of the issue at hand. She actually stammered and said. "Thanks, I don't get that very often." After that experience I was more determined to make sure I tell every rep I talk with "Thank you for your help, have a great day."

They are people like us and have feelings as well. It really makes me wonder why reps get treated so badly when they are trying to help. Not everything is their fault.

I had a real eye-opener to the rudeness they have to endure a little while back. A friend of my husbands was over and had an issue with his cell phone. He called the local office and just ripped into the poor unsuspecting rep that answered the phone. The rep apologized for something that wasn't even his fault and did his best to resolve the issue, but to no avail. The friend just went on and on. The nicer the rep was, the madder this friend got.

I was horrified! I have never seen anyone get treated so badly. This friend has gone his way, and I can't say I am particularly sad about it.

Be nice to reps, most of them are here to help. They get a lot of crap and could use some encouragement.

Do you get involved with your child(s) School?

Not many parent's get that involved with their child's school and it puzzles me on why? I have always been a IN YOUR FACE Parent for all students at the schools my sons have attended and I am very well known.

The PTSO or some schools still have a PTA is a very good resource for all parents and students to go to if they want to learn on how we are helping and listening to our students. It is good for a parent to attend a few of these meetings to know what is going on at the school and also to learn that we do care about you.

We have our meetings every 2nd Tuesday and we provide diner for all that wish to come and younger children also are welcome.

So do you attend the PTSO or PTA meetings at your child(s) school? If not why?

Pictures of our PTSO and then the Booster President and Me dinner tonight was spaghetti and salad and bread all made by one of our PTSO PARENTS!!!!!

Get Off Your Knees You're A Writer For God's Sake!

I'm supposed to be working on my duties to multiple online projects here but a fellow writer, Drew De Jesus has gotten me stirred up. I'm not sure what we will become here but it won't be a place where you see writers groveling at the feet of others. That should never happen. It's an abomination.

If I don't agree with your stance or I dislike your post and I'm compelled to do something about it, I would express my feelings in your comments knowing full well you are getting paid for my comment. LOL! I would not presume to ban-hammer any writer for expressing themselves or trying to earn through other sources other than my site. That is wrong. I can go for a walk, take a cold shower, brood over a shot glass of bourbon while thinking about your post. But I won't silence you. That is no one's right but your own.

Brand Spanking New. What Am I Buying Into?

Well now this is interesting.

Eden was kind enough to talk about this blog and then posted a link so I could be invited and accept the invitation. I didn't know it was Blogger, however. I have a blog here myself!

Writing and getting paid for it online seems to have really taken off in the last couple of years. Even a few months ago it was difficult to find a place where you could be paid for writing articles, and now there seems to be a whole plethora of them.

I think what we are seeing is another step forward in the internet world.

Originally the internet was never intended for the average guy. It was a means of making information available within the tech and science communities, but that didn't last long. Complaints began to arise about people who weren't using it in it's pure form, but were posting social items instead! It just grew from there.

Over the years internet use--and ways to use the internet--have grown exponentially, and their is really no end in sight. I doubt very much that people will grow bored with the internet any time soon, because the ways to use it are bound only by one's imagination and the ever-evolving tools with which to manage this computer-generated universe.

As social interaction and ways to make money on the internet increase, what will happen? Probably a continuation of what we see now, which is really just a repeat of enterprise in any new world--some will strike it rich, others will try their whole lives and only make a bit of money, and some will get cheated. Like the immigrants and settlers that gradually created each new land and nation, we have to be careful about who we put our trust in. "Caveat emptor" is a saying that has never gone out of style.

Let the buyer beware, indeed. That goes for, not just the money we pay out for goods and services on the internet, but the concepts and ideas we buy into as well.

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself!

Solivagus has Entered the Building.

Don't be afraid, far worse things have happened. But let it be known that my presence here shall be the penultimate of my artistic expression. I read in the introduction post here that there is no restriction on what we may post about and I plan on taking full advantage of that fact! Sometimes other sites can make me feel so stifled that it becomes a job in and of itself not to allow the pressure to feel like another job! And I didn't become a work from home writer so that I could feel like I have a job! No ma'am.

So! Who am I? My name is Drew De Jesus, I am a writer, actor, entertainer, dog lover, Aries, and I'm a hip old granny who can hip hop bebop and yo ho make a wicked cup of cocoa. I have my own blog on blogger here that I just started, I won't promote it until there's content. What I plan to provide there, and maybe even here, will be creative commons photographs that I'll take and that you'll be allowed to use on any post you'd like wherever.

I think providing free blogging content for creative individuals is a wonderful way to assist one another in socking it to the corporate hounds which sniff at our heels and try to make money off of us. Uh uh, pay us. That's how it works.

In any case, I'm 28 for now with a 29th birthday coming up in April, and I look forward to connecting with all of you. Well, most of you. Wink.

By the way, all my permalinks will be /solivagus#.html, where # represents the number post of that day.

For example, this post will be preferredwriters.blogspot.com/2014/02/solivagus1.html - this way it will be easy for people to sort through my posts in order.

Solivagus,
Drew De Jesus

An intense game

So today was just another regular day until a game that removed all the boring feeling in me. I knew a game of my favorite team will be playing a big batch against the number one ranker of the game. This is a game where anything can happen and the feeling that you feel is just out of the world. Now you might ask what this game that I am talking about is? Well this game is called Cricket; some of you might think its Football (not American). Football can be an intense game but if you watch Cricket you will get a different feeling that will make you fall in love with it.

So today Srilanka the No.1 ranker of this format of the game played with the 10^th ranker which is Bangladesh. Bangladesh is considered a really weak team but if you watch this game you will think twice if they really are the 10^th ranker or 2^nd ranker. Srilanka won the match with 2 runs remaining which is a really small difference.

Some of you might like to watch this sport but trust me you will like it once you watch it and understand it. If you don’t understand what you watch, you will not get the fun by watching it. For example I do not like basketball because I do not know the rules and don’t really understand it, but if I knew the rules and understood the game I will surely like it.

If you are an American just for your information there is an American team playing this game although they are not yet a full member of the ICC. If you want to know more about it

Click Here and you will understand the game.

Roses Bloom in Winter

Extol matters of the heart as they are the fibers of our soul.
These enlightened strands fan out to heighten the rose's reds, the crystals' sparkle, the flame's flicker and gentle heat.

and then...

White connects to blue.
Blue embraces hardwood.
Shadow greets sunbeams.

The excelsior is friendship.
The divergent converge through the intelligence of their love, all kinds.
The emotion is not met with disdain, but uproarious celebration. Why?
Because the true measure, the uncomplicated accomplishment is unity.
Happy Valentines Day!

How to Earn Well Online: Tiered Revenue Networks

Keep in mind, that this article will violate rules on many other sites as it will reference other pay sites. So, consider this if you plan on re-posting this information on another site.

With that said, anyone is welcome to re-post this information as they wish. Enjoy!

Find a Good Archive Site

First, You will need a stable earning site. This doesn't have to be a high earner, but it should be one that you can safely archive your articles without fear of losing your account, being deleted or has very restrictive rules and guidelines.

If your articles are around 300-400 words, well written and original this should be acceptable for your archive site. All your articles will be published here first. My archive site of choice is FullofKnowledge.com because the staff are friendly, helpful and interactive.

The nice thing about Fullofknowledge, among many, is that earnings are stable. I reference the earnings here like interest building on savings. As you add more articles, your earnings begin to build over time without much maintenance. For this reason, Fullofknowledge is the foundation of my online content network.

Second Tier Networks

Second tier networks are those that you will republish your articles to for additional performance pay. Yahoo Contributor Network has an upfront-pay option and would be great for archives if they did not require you to wait 10 business days to review your article. After the 10 days your article may be denied, effectively wasting two weeks of your time for nothing. The upfront pay averages $3. It doesn't matter what Yahoo says on their site regarding upfront pay. It's $3 after 2 weeks of waiting after holding your article in limbo.

YCN is a 2nd tier network because of their performance pay which is a dismal $1.50 per 1000 views. You can republish an article on YCN for performance pay only and get your article reviewed in about seven days as long as you meet their somewhat lofty submission requirements.

It's fairly easy to get your article published at YCN for performance pay only. You can consider this a small boost to your Fullofknowledge monthly earnings. YCN pays to your PayPal account every month providing you have earned $3+ in performance pay.

There are other 2nd tier network options that I have found to be much too cumbersome in their interface, which requires massive self-promotion and garners very little earnings for the work you have to put in. YCN is the best choice as a 2nd tier network until something better comes along.

Third Tier Networks

These are often newer revenue sites that pop up and offer very high earnings. And some do earn very well for the writer. What makes these sites third tier networks are their performance record. There is some question of whether you will get paid or not - so keep this in mind. The third tier site I use is Bubblews.com.

Being fair, Bubblews has its issues paying writers. I have had a payment go missing as well as writers I know personally to be reputable who have had some payments lost there. it pays well when it does but it's not a reliable earner.

If your 3rd tier network pays you, it's wonderful. If they do not pay you, then you still have your 1st & 2nd tier earners building stable revenue.

Central Sites

A central site is a site where you can easily access the various parts of each network from one page. This can be any site you have admin privilege to access and has html coding ability. So, I created a page on my personal site to build easy to access links to reference, cite, source and submit my articles without having to hop around the Internet.

Your central site is where you oversee the overall performance of your articles. This is open to the user according to need. I have a button that displays my earnings across all my networks, my blogs, Adsense earnings, etc. Another area on this page has the buttons I need to research an article, find images, and submit.

Finally, I have an area on this page to share my published articles all at once across Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+, Pinterest, and Tumbler. Which leads us into our last portion which is sharing.

Sharing on Social Media

First, you should share your article on a site that actively rewards you for social medial shares. Some networks do not recognize visits from social media sites or they get paid for them but do not pass those earnings on to you. Regardless, you will need to test your sites out to see if you are getting earnings for your social media shares.

Arguably, you could reserve your social media shares to your archive site to build up a solid and reliable readership base. That would perhaps be the wiser choice. I, typically, share links to my articles on my current highest performing site which is also a tier 3 earner. I get instant gratification and the most for my page views. Again, I probably should be sharing on my archive network but I'm still young and require my heart to be broken before I learn.

So this is my how-to guide to online content. I didn't write one of these until I actually began to earn well online as to not put out any irrelevant, useless and vague commentary. I earn a reliable $500 monthly from online content from my relatively new tier model system described above.

Those earnings promise to eventually rise and become more secure as my tier 1 and 2 networks build up a solid library of articles.
