Freelancing



In case you haven't noticed, I'm really having fun writing (and publishing!) articles.  I'm getting faster with the textbroker.com articles, so now I can do about 2 a day easily.  Of course, in order to replace my regular income, I'd have to write 50!  So, it's a fun hobby.

Yesterday, I wrote articles on the advantages of buying kitchen cabinets online and on the elements of thinking about refinancing.  The refi one had to be in a "spun" format, which I'd never heard of.  The client did give an example and, I looked it up on Google (good old Google!) and learned that it's a method used to get the same article listed multiple times on search engines by choosing words, phrases, sentences, or entire paragraphs that could be phrased differently.  I joined a free spinning website that, once you decide on replaceable phrases and supply the variations, it produces a document to submit, and it plays Russian roulette with each of the variations.  It's kind of cool!

I also took my second 45-minute walk yesterday (the photos were snapped on my cell phone on the way back).  I walked 2.6 miles in that time.  My goal is to get to 5 miles in 45 minutes (I'll have to run) by 6/15.
