Preferred Writers Putting Admins Behind The Pen.

My PWG Earnings Are Taking Off! I've quickly found that by requiring us admins to write-to-earn has helped me make us a better site. The things you grumble about as a writer, I also grumble about. Well who is going to fix this mess?! >.<
So now I can fix it. I can see, first hand, the things that need to be done to make your writing/earning experience enjoyable and profitable.

I love the tag line I see on nearly every earning site I've joined, "If you don't make money, we don't make money." At PWG I'm going to make money regardless because I write. And I'm seeing that I can make more money here as a writer than I ever could have "legitimately" as an Admin. My posts are taking off and already out classing my other pay sites. I guess I should share how I do it.

ID Tag Your Posts
First, I have seen I need to place a small Post ID Tag on the bottom of each of my posts so I can easily key it into the search box on the Post dashboard. I key in "10197" and then search and all my posts pop up! I can see how much I've earned in page views.

Real Time Earnings
Now this brings us to the important subject of Estimated vs. Actual valid page views. Our page views we see in blogger include crawlers, bots, stats-counting sites and a whole myriad of over stuff we don't get paid for. Fortunately, our gracious Google host filters much of this out for us and our views are closely similar to our actual valid paid views. In fact, when compared to our over 4000 page views there was only a $0.14 difference. That's pretty good! If you guys want me to spit the $14 cents 4000 ways I will, but I figure we can simply leave it in to go toward the next month (lol).

Cashing out
I don't know about you, but as a writer I don't want to sit waiting on my money. If its a dollar I want it in my Paypal. As a writer, that dollar often means the difference between Instant Coffee and Starbucks. O.o
So when our overall funds reach $100, we are cashing in! We will still have to wait on snail mail after cashing in, but once Laurie and I get it we will be sending it to you.

Keep Sharing!
Keep sharing those old posts. You don't have to delete and re-post that article from weeks back. If it's been awlile send it back through the share sites, etc. Your PWG posts keep on earning. If your post from last month earns this month you will get paid for it.

we are still working out the bugs here at PWG, but the weight here will always be in the writer's favor. Because we are ALL writers!

We Lost last year (San Juan HS) however this year we are hoping for a big WIN, we are going to have raffles and food and fun fun fun this year!

Unjustifyable action

Sunday night, in a house where they live .. Two bedrooms with Tv in each room.Husband is not working come Monday morning.Wife needs to sleep early to get ready for tomorrows activities.He is watching his favorite program on tv in the bedroom.She tells him if he could watch in the other room.He did not listen .She tries to get her sleep but in vain .She decided to sleep in the other room.He gets angry and in a minute remote con is up in the air as he barge out of the bedroom.

Where is understanding?His action is unjustifyable.He is being selfish.She finally went to sleep with heavy heart.Wakes up in the morning and went to work .Husband still sleeping.Day passed by and a phonecall was never done.Finally time to go home .Hope everything will be fine.

Using Pinterest To Get Traffic

One thing that I like to do to get traffic to my posts is linking them on Pinterest. All you have to do is pin your post to Pinterest and when a Pinterest user clicks on your post, you get a view to your post. I have about 2,000 followers on Pinterest so I also get a lot of re-pins when I pin my posts. The more followers you have, the more of a chance you have of them re-pinning your pins. One tip is to make sure you use a cool looking picture so other users will want to re-pin it. I've noticed that a lot of my pins about video games are repined because they look cool. I've also noticed that pins from a while back are still getting re-pinned. I don't know how that exactly works, but it means that those pins have a better chance of getting clicked on. I know Pinterest isn't the only way to get traffic, but it's a good help.

Shoot!

A package arrived this morning from Florida: a Canon Rebel T4i digital SLR camera that I'd bought on eBay for a little bit more than I really wanted. Plus express shipping.

I'd be quite happy with it, save for the fact that I bought one - second hand with a spare lens, a bag and a heap of extras - for a bargain price two weeks ago.

So now I have two. One is labelled 650D but it is the same model.

The new arrival is actually older. One bonus is that it came with a 32 Gb memory card.

The card showed American football games, graduation pictures, a whole bunch of shots of the full moon. Most of them dating back to 2012. I saved them to my hard drive and formatted the card.

I ran a comparison shoot with the two cameras, hoping one was better than the other, but no, they are both pretty good.

I'll put the Rebel up on eBay and hope I can get something like what I paid for it. Along with the 500D I bought a month ago. And two smaller cameras.

Just call me Mister Camera Shop, will ya!

I have received all my redemptions from Bubblews on time

I see many posts on Bubbles from members of not having received their redemptions for more than 2 months. Some even say they have not received any payments at all. In the beginning I thought it was just one of those things..
And then I saw a post here also which said that more than 14,000 bubblers have their redemptions pending. Hence this post.
I must state clearly that I have received all my redemptions from Bubblews till now. Some even before the 72 hours waiting period had passed. There is one redemption pending. This also I think it is because of as many 10 to 15 of my connections having their accounts deleted for violation of some rule. A couple of my other friends and connections are also having the same experience. They too have received all their payments till to date.
I do not believe that Bubblews is paying by random or is showing favoritism only to a few. Those of you who are also here, if you are receiving your redemptions on time, please tell us.
As far as I am concerned, Bubblews is a great place for exposure for our thoughts. Here is my default URL in bubblews. Please check my posts...

Ginger we are calling you

We have all heard that ginger is the medical cure for many things and that you should have some ginger everyday. Well now Doctors are also telling patients to use ginger in their cooking and also to drink more ginger tea and eat cookies with ginger in them.

Ginger

For thousands of years, this spice was used to knock out nausea. But unless you went to an Eastern medicine doctor, you weren't going to hear about it from your MD. Then, along with the 21st century came a string of studies pointing to ginger's potential to combat nausea related to motion sickness, chemotherapy and pregnancy.

"Once the science was there, more doctors were willing to 'prescribe' it," says Patricia Raymond, MD, assistant professor of clinical internal medicine at Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, Va.

Try candied ginger, ginger tea or even ginger cookies the next time that you're feeling queasy.

A friend of mine uses GINGER for her cancer and it helps her she says.

Ginger root has a very high level of antioxidants -- higher than many berries -- making it an excellent defender against cell damage and associated disease caused by free radicals. Ginger continues to be the focus of research investigating its role in cancer prevention and treatment of lymphoma, breast, liver, skin, bladder and colorectal cancers. Ginger’s antioxidant activity is one of several mechanisms thought to explain its possible anticancer effects. Others include its ability to decrease cancer cell proliferation and suppress mechanisms that initiate cancer cell activation.

We put ginger in our smoothies and tea.

Other Ways for Writers to Make Money in their Extra Time

So you're a writer! If I was a betting woman, I would bet most writers do other things to earn money, from eBay to promotions to other jobs. A few years ago I realized that the days of making BIG bucks writing were pretty much over for me. My best month writing across all my sites together has only netted me a little over $1,000--hardly an income I can thrive on.

I LOVE to write and will keep looking at new things like PWG hoping to find that magic mixture of work, writing, promotion, networking and sites that do a lot of the work, too. But in 2010, I started looking into other avenues, including franchises and business partnerships.

Franchises: With hard work and determination, owning a franchise can bring in a LOT of money, so this idea had a lot of appeal. However, franchises cost a great deal of money, with the LOWEST ones in the $20,000 range and average buying prices in the hundreds of thousands.

Schemes: Then there are the "make big money quick doing nothing" ads all over the internet that usually don't pan out and don't live up to their promises.

Direct Marketing: That's why many people end up turning to direct marketing which can have all the advantages of a franchise, or all the disappointments of a "get rich quick" scheme. So how do you find the right direct marketing business?

Look for one with a track record of success. Companies like Amway, Mary Kay and even Avon have been around for a long time. These companies have proven they are not a scheme that will take your money and leave you standing on the street corner selling pencils.
Look for companies that belong to the Direct Selling Association. This organization insists on the highest ethics and training in its member businesses.
Look for a great product line. Is it something you and your friends would use? Would you use it in ten years?
Look for companies that are already solvent. A new business, no matter how great the idea sounds, has a high chance of bankruptcy.
Look for a company in a booming industry, that is ahead of the trends, that will meet a need no matter how good or bad the economy gets.

Did I find a business I like that has earned me a more-than-decent monthly income working part-time hours from home? Yes, yes I did. In 2010, I chose an anti-aging skin care business because as the baby-boomer generation continues to age, as well as younger generations, our skin will continue to age with us. We all want to look our best. We all want healthy skin. I would use it now and in 10 years.

The dermatologists company I chose owns and created Proactive for acne, so they are WAY beyond solvent as well as award-winning members of the Direct Selling Association. They use social media and social networking much like we do for our articles to sell and promote the products, so it is a format I am very comfortable with. It is almost all done on the computer -- no products to carry or return. And it costs a small fraction of the lowest franchise fees to start my business.

If you want to know more, just ask me! I love to talk about skin care as much as I love to talk about writing now! And here are some links if you want to read more:
