		<description><![CDATA[Just over a month ago, I signed up at Textbroker and I have to admit it&#8217;s a simple to use site, they pay promptly and they are good about responding to messages. So here&#8217;s the low down on Textbroker. Signing up: The sign up process is fairly simple, you set up an account using your email and picking a password. You will also have to submit a writing sample for Textbroker to rate. Make sure that the sample is an original piece of work and that if you are using a technical piece that it&#8217;s properly sourced. Otherwise, you could find that you&#8217;re rejected. Once approved: Once a writer has submitted a writing sample, they can sign into Textbroker and accept assignments based on the level that the sample was graded at.  Writers may be graded 3, 4 or in very rare situations as a 5.  Most writers go into the system as a &#8220;3&#8243; rating and will remain at that level until client work is submitted, graded by clients and graded by Textbroker. Accepting assignments: From your writer dashboard, you will be able to claim assignments from a variety of topics. These include business, health, jobs, art and even [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Panda was not good news for many who write online. This includes those who write at online writing sites, those who blog and others who depend on revenue from AdSense or other advertising medium.  In fact, for most it was really bad news.  However, not all of the news is bad depending on your perspective on things, because in many ways, Panda has forced freelance writers to get out of their comfort zones and explore other means of creating income. Another good thing to come out of Panda is that many sites are being forced to rethink their strategies both in terms of promotion, site layout and focus. Here are some things to consider that may have had a positive outcome because of Panda. Forcing quality content Most writers who write online will tell you that they focus on quality. If this were the case, then Panda would not have been so devastating to so many people.  Carefully think about this &#8211; how much income did you lose as a result of Panda? If it was less than $100 a month, you probably were not impacted very much and you are probably on safe ground.  If it was more than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those who are considering blogging as an income source, there are some things that must be taken into consideration. Most bloggers are not going to wind up with a blog that generates hundreds of dollars a month (or a year in fact).  For most bloggers, a trickle of income is what they are more likely to generate.  In this case, is blogging as an income source a good use of time?  For some bloggers, it is a good use of time. Here are some of the reasons: Adds value to their skills Many people see blogging as an income source. However,  the reality is that most blogs are not creating as much income as anticipated.  However, freelance writers who blog, may find that the skills they learn blogging create a new stream of income. Blogging teaches writers how to use HTML codes, teaches them about writing clear, concise copy and can help improve their overall portfolio. Adds depth to knowledge Freelancers who blog tend to explore new subject matter more frequently than those who write about one topic alone. Blogging allows freelancers the opportunity to learn about things they may not otherwise consider writing about.  Blogging can be a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best things about freelance writing is that there are so many options available to earn money. Some freelance writers prefer to earn money by seeking out clients who are willing to pay them for their work on an ongoing basis. Others prefer blogging as a method of earning money. Still others find that online content sites are the best option for them. One of the primary challenges that many freelance writers will often be faced with is finding an online content site that works for them. It is important that writers remember that every online content site has their own rules, their own writing styles and their own audience. In some cases, the online writing site you select may determine in part your success level. The next thing that freelance writers who are interested in using online content sites to earn money will have to decide is the method that they prefer for earnings. Some sites pay per view income only while others offer up front payments as well as ongoing earnings. Some sites also offer only up front payments with no opportunity for ongoing earnings. These factors should all be weighed carefully, especially if you are [...]]]></description>

Between online content sites and blogs, more people are trying their hand at freelance writing than ever before. Fortunately, there is an almost endless need for content to keep an audience informed on the internet.&#160; Freelance writing has its rewards as well as its setbacks. However, one thing that freelance writers seem to be on a constant quest for is how to make more money from freelance writing. Freelance writing full time requires a game plan. You cannot expect to sit down today and just start writing and earning.&#160; For most freelance writers, the first step in their game plan is finding a writing site that works for them. This is a process that each freelance writer must go through and it is a very personal choice.&#160; Freelance writers have multiple opportunities to work on online content sites. These sites offer freelance writers a variety of options for earning including up front payments, in some cases they also offer marketplaces and contests.&#160; Making a living using online content sites is not out of the realm of possibility if a freelance writer is committed to [...]]]></description>
