A Review of Patch.com

I recently started writing for Patch.com (late August/early September), and have to say that it has been a pleasant experience so far. While I won't disclose my rate per listing, I will say that I have already made $1728 this year, and will probably make about $3000 by the end of the year. Considering that I'm 9 months pregnant and not accepting as much work as I would like to, this is excellent money.

Why I Love Patch:

- Weekly payments (every Tuesday) via PayPal

- Friendly editors

- Excellent training- my orientation (held at a local library) was several hours long, and included my own detailed guide, which I referenced regularly when I first started writing for Patch

- Rewrite requests that make sense (as opposed to the vague requests other writers have reported receiving from certain sites)


If you're the type of person who likes to know exactly what is expected and required of you, you'll like being a writer for Patch.

Busy, Busy, Busy!

We just moved into our new apartment last weekend, so things have been hectic. I haven't forgotten about you guys, though. I'll update on my freelance writing income and monthly earnings soon.

IM Crew and an Update

My friend told me about a new site called IM Crew where you can make up to $1275 a month reading, rating, and promoting articles. It's still in the pre-launch period until the end of today, but I'm going to give it a try.

As for everything else, I haven't written any new articles lately. We're in the process of moving, and I won't have internet at home for 2 more weeks. Sigh.

If You Haven't Already Joined CashCrate...

now's the time!

CashCrate is a site that pays you to take surveys and complete offers. I've been a member for years. They send a check when you reach $20; I'm at $8.18 right now, with several offers pending.

Think You Need a High School Diploma to Get a Scholarship?

I published A List of GED Scholarships today. I have a GED, and I remember how everybody tried to convince me that I had no future. They were wrong. You can go to college with a GED, and you can get scholarships.

Monthly EHow Earnings

There's still about a week left of July, but I'm already pretty happy with my EHow earnings this month. I'm currently at $15.53. That might not sound like a lot, but keep in mind that I only have 29 articles posted on EHow, and haven't written a new article for them in months. This is all residual income, which I love.

I've made $126.27 in residual income for 2010 on EHow alone. If you aren't familiar with residual income, that means I earned $126.27 for work I already did months ago. I'm working hard to learn about back links, SEO, and Google AdSense so that I can apply this to the new articles I'm currently writing for HubPages.
