First Quarter Writing Highlights
Posted on 04 October 2007 by Sharon
Get Paid To Write has been in its new home for just over three months, so it seems a good time to consider some of the highlights.
July: Guest Posts
In July I took a well earned break, but the blog kept going, thanks to the efforts of my guest posters. Popular posts included How To Pick A Publisher, Flattery or Thievery and The Many Uses For Your Squidoo Lens. July was also the month where I started my Get Paid to Blog series (now tidily organised thanks to a neat Wordpress plugin).
August: Writing Life
In August, I thought about many aspects of the writing life. For example, I considered whether writers are lonely, and suggested a way to prioritise writing work. I thought about what it meant to be a value added writer, and suggested that writers give more thought to promotion, including using email.
September Reviews
In September, I kicked off a new series of writing blog reviews, and asked a lot of questions about fear, self sabotage, and setting goals. I also went back to the topic of promotion with a post on building buzz for your website or blog.
So that’s how the first three months have shaped up. In October, I have plans for some more reviews of writing blogs and the last couple of paid to blog reviews. Then I plan to start a new series - watch this space for details.

You have provided some great information about get paid to blog. I’ve seen some programs, where you can really earn some decent living by writing alone.

Thanks, Rebecca. It’s been fun. I love this blog and I’m relishing the challenge of coming up with new ideas.

Thanks, John. Just as I thought I was nearly done, I’ve found a couple more. I’ll have to investigate before I add them to the list.
