Christmas Presents For Wife

I am ranked number 4 on Google for "Christmas Presents for Wife". That is ridiculous. I have been writing for almost one year now and I am beginning to see how Google operates. It truly is FAR EASIER than it seems to get ranked for key words. It is about writing quality, useful, well-done content.

Amazing.

Christmas Gifts for Employees

The key to giving  christmas gifts for employees is to keep the amount that you spend on gifts as equal as you can. You should also splurge in this area if you can. Don’t be a scrooge! 


Dante's Inferno Summary

Do you remember Dante's Inferno?
 
This Dante's Inferno summary guides you through the circles of Hell that Dante and Virgil traveled.



Dharma Wheel

My article on the dharma wheel, also called the Dharmachakra, is now ranked number 8 on Google! This, of course is certainly helping drive traffic to the article.



The dharma wheel is used as a symbol to represent the Buddha and his teachings. This eight-spoked wheel represents The Eightfold Path, as well as truth and teaching.

Writing For A Living

Writing for a living has certainly evolved in this online age. Getting ranked online is king. Believe it or not, the written word is still king, despite YouTube and it's massive influence.

Keep in mind that the more content on the page itself will all count towards relevancy. So consider writing landing pages for your site for the key words people are searching for.

Religion doesn't have to corrupt.

Hitler's Religion, which is all about understanding the worst that religion has to offer, teaches us exactly what to avoid. 

Hitler was a giant idiot tool.

Religion can be a wonderful way to understand divinity and be the best possible person you can be, it can also be used for evil.

Nov. 28th is my one year anniversary for this blog!

So what have I accomplished?

I started writing with Associated Content, which is currently at 19,000 views.
I then transferred nearly all my time to Bright Hub, totals below;

June 283
July 2438
August 3962
Sept. 6321
Oct. 7442
Nov. 4037 ( on the 16th of the month)
I should get approximately 8,000 views for Nov.

Bright Hub total = 28,446 views

Associated content = 19,000 plus Bright Hub 28,446 Ehow = 4,226 Blog = 600

Grand Total = 52,292!

Not bad for year one!

At this rate it will take 20 years for me to teach my goal of 1,000,000 hits. But that would be if I stopped writing and that is not going to happen.

Just look at the dogs.



Why Kellen? Why would you put this random post in your blog? This is because people love pictures. It also provides me a great place to put a link on training your dog to walk beside you without a leash. Remember, links are key!

Protestantism vs Catholicism

Protestantism vs Catholicism, there have been arguments that would chill even the warmest heart. Now, with the turn of the century, thousands of separations in the Christian church, doesn't it make the most sense to practice the art of love, regardless of color, creed, or religion?

You Perceive With Your Mind, Not Your Eyes

You do not see with your eyes. They funnel light which impacts your retina, which is then felt by the mind as sight. So, you have to ask yourself. "How does what you think impact what you see?"

Where does the soul go?

Free hits

Getting free hits, or traffic, from the web is as simple as understanding keywords, and keyword linking. Take this post for instance. The words "free hits" are responsible for 90,000 monthly views. I should link to those keywords more often.

Also internal linking, like the link above, is now becoming more and more popular. This is because it allows a website to keep a reader on the site, while benefiting from the link.

Checking the spam folder for legitmate mail is sad.

Getting 308 hits on Bright Hub on the first of November is not. Ladies and gentlemen of the world, getting out of the rat race is proving to be difficult, even with working two jobs and writing online. My 358 views today brought me a $1.45... So I only need one hundred times the content, at the same quality, to make $100 dollar a day, which to me is financial freedom, and approximately 20,000 pieces of article quality content.

That doesn't seem THAT hard. Well, you see.... the thing about it is I work from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. and then lesson plan from 5 - 6 P.M. for my classes that run from 6 - 9 P.M. and then there is that pesky sleep thing!


To be perfectly honest, if I write...one piece of content every two days I will be thrilled with myself. Because I have about a half hour every day in which I can sit down and write for myself...not including this blog who no one is reading.

Ha ha..

The Kautzman Network

I believe it is important to support my brothers. Therefore, you should now watch the funniest infomercial I have ever seen. What does this have to do with writing online you may ask? Well, a phenomenally funny video can drive massive amounts of traffic to your site, which can help transition people from watching to reading.

Good morning people of the world.

Working for an SEO company provides me the unique opportunity to see thousands of web pages a day. This has taught me that successful blogs have a wealth of content. They are like books. Most professional blogs that I see are certainly long, and most often in depth.

The longer...the better, it seems. Therefor, I have to keep creating content for this beautiful blog of mine. The numbers are coming in at approximately 7,000 views each month, and I haven't worked on writing for my personal projects since June.

If were to focus only on Brighthub.com and write similarly to how I do, you would need to write thousands of articles to approach a living wage via writing on Bright Hub alone. What shouldn't be underestimated is the resume power of writing on sites like Bright Hub. Sites that allow online publishing. Because of my 100 publications with Bright Hub I was able to land the job with Las Vegas SEO group, Advise Media.

As a full time SEO professional, I have honed my writing skills to the point where both my blogging and writing have become second nature. Not to mention, Advise Media is growing...quickly.

Dreams do come true....

This is one of our customized mouse pads at Advise Media Group, my current SEO place of employment.



Can you believe that less then one year ago I was dabbling in on-line writing, and now I am doing it full time.

Wow...

Year one party.

On Nov 28th 2009, I began writing online. Since it is now October of 2010 I am coming close to my year one results party. That's write (pun intended)...I'll be throwing a bash for myself to celebrate my current daily average of 250 views through all of my content and my average of $15 a month sitting on my __________. Yes, I know it is a very small victory, but it is an asset, and I like assets.

Asset = money you make doing NOTHING.

When you have enough assets to meet your liabilities you become financially free.

Thanks for reading,

First Viral Post - 800 views in 6 hours and growing...

10 Reasons to Keep Living is now my first viral post! It is 10 lines long and not that funny. But, hey, what do I care. I wrote it when I was totally annoyed with the world and looking for anything positive.

Funny how things work out!

Gaining SEO expertise, (6,000 views in September)

Hey she or he that is reading this.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with my goal, I am attempting to reach one million page views online and seeing how long it takes. You should know, before reading forward, that I like writing. I don't know why. I also like playing piano and guitar. Have finger dexterity is fun for me. If you hate writing, please don't do it.

For those of you who are looking to get the writing ball rolling, you can always start with Associated Content. An online writing platform that has relatively no restrictions, is easy to get into, and subsequently pays little. From there, I would transfer to either Bright Hub or Demand Studios as the pay is typically double or triple. AC is great for starting, however. It, at least not in my experience, does not pay enough for the time and effort that I put in. I will still use AC to write stories about local bands, but for academic grade content I certainly would suggest Bright Hub.


This September alone I have received 6.000 new views. I get paid $3 for ever 1,000 views. You can do the math. Keep in mind that these writings are assets. I will only continue to make money off of them, for as long as they are read. Neat yes?

To achieve one million hits at 6,000 a month I'll achieve my goal in approximately 14 years. However, I have noticed an exponential growth pattern (when I am writing full time). If my growth were exponential it would only take considerably less time.

5 fun High School Spanish games is by far the most exponentially growing article I have ever written. I had a feeling about this one.

Also, I get a job at an SEO company. I work at Advise Media Group and love it. I am doing for a living, what was my hobby only months ago. I am writing, using social media, and link building. It looks as though my goal of 1,000,000 views is much more likely to occur. Furthermore, we are going to begin an SEO radio show, which will lead to a great deal of expansion in the future as well.

Needless to say, what began as a hobby and a dream has truly begun to manifest in both money and popularity. My 5 fun High School Spanish games article is averaging 41 hits per day. It shows no signs of slowing down either. I haven't even put it on social media yet, or really advertised it.

This month, so far, I have 3,400 hits on Bright Hub. It is the 20th. This means I will average in the 5,000 - 6,000 range for the whole month. That is $15 for sitting on my behind, writing more content for other sites. That, my friends, is an asset.

Getting Married in a UU church

Getting married to Naeja is good for the soul and good for writing. To get to 1,000,000 views I suggest you fall in love with an amazing person.

Claim Cap LIFTED.

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I can now officially work at home.

Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Yes,

Why?

Because I no longer have a claim cap on my Bright Hub account due to a month and a half write-a-thon that produced decent enough page results so that the cap was lifted. Now the process looks like this.



Wake up,

article one 5:30 - 7:30

article two 7:30 -  9:30

article three 9:30 - 11:30

11:30 to 12:30 Lunch

article four 12:30 - 2:30

article five 2:30 - 4:30

4:30 - 5:30 Twitter and Market

This will earn me $50 a day + Revenue share

If I do this 6 days a week, 24 workdays a month,  $50 a day.

I will have $50 x 24 = 1,200 plus revenue share.

Average Revenue share

Based on my current views is, 1.5 cents per article per day.
This means that If I have 100 articles published I can expect $1.50 a day, including weekends and holidays.

1,000 articles would be $10.50 a day Revenue Share
10,000 articles would be $100.50 a day Revenue Share

How long would it take to teach 10,000 articles with this method? Let's see...

24 workdays a month, each with 5 articles. This is 120 articles a month.

In one year I would have written 1,440.

I would reach my goal of 10,000 articles in 6.9 years.

Is seven years of non-stop writing worth the chance at $100 a day without lifting a finger?

It's Bright Hub For Me!

After exhaustive research into online publish platforms I have dedicated myself full time to Bright Hub. It is even possible to make a full time career out of this website you you are can get permission to get the "5 at a time article limit" lifted. To get this lifted you must be averaging over 80 hits per month. This site requires work, but my hits have been 80% higher here then they were at Associated Content. Also, they pay $10 per article written within an editorial managed channel.  You will notice my Bright Hub article feed to the left of this blog. Feel free to check out what a typical Bright Hub article looks like and comment if you want help on getting signed up!

links

I have been taking the summer off to do a great deal of writing. Each article I write is like another strand in my web. I was looking at how many articles I would have to write on Bright Hub to make $50 a day. Remember, this would include holidays and weekends!

1,000 views = $2.50

2,000 view = $5.00

20,000 views = $50.00

I am currently getting somewhere in the ball park of 130, which is far superior to my average of 20 at Associated Content. The comforting thing about Bright Hub is that my views are gaining exponentially.

July 8, 2010 - Featured writer on Xomba

Oh my, it appears as though I may become a featured education writer on Xomba. This would be excellent. There was a link to "Apply for featured writer" at www.xomba.com and I applied. I have been speaking with the editor and we're looking at getting one of my articles published on the featured writers' page. So... that makes me happy. Bright Hub is still the highest return on investment that I have seen yet in the publishing world. I applied to Demand Studios and Suite 101 and am still waiting to hear back from them.

Thanks everybody for tuning in! Don't forget to leave comments!

July 5th 2010

It appears as though I am now married. I also have been experimenting with Bright Hub. Bright Hub is vastly superior to Associated Content in a number of ways.

1. It pays more. $10 per editorial managed article plus residuals

2. The editors spend time looking over your work, helping you fix mistakes and increasing SEO.

3. There is room to move up. There are constantly new channels being added to the mix with editor opportunities becoming available as you show skill.

It was fun writing my 60 or so articles for AC, I used many of them as resume examples to get into Bright Hub, but unless I am writing an article on some newsworthy event I will be writing for Bright Hub.

I also recently applied to Suite 101. More on that later.

Day - ??? July, 2010 15,000 views

Hello all,

I am now married. I also have stopped writing for associated content and begun writing for BrightHub, which pays 10$ per article and has a team of editors that help with getting you more hits. I average a whopping $.90 a month. At this rate I can retire when I'm 200.

I have written a few articles for BrightHub. I'll let you know how that unfurls!
