pWe all like to fool ourselves into thinking that we are covering new ground but the reality is that someone, somewhere has done it before. But is this a problem or does it actually present an opportunity? It depends on your outlook but for the wilier of you out there your mind should now be firmly locked onto the latter./p

pThe economy might not be booming, but online labor platforms sure are.

Cumulative earnings this year should surpass $500 million./p

pShowing up matters more than ever, particularly if you promised you would. Not just showing up in person, but showing up emotionally, or with support, or with a resource that was inconvenient for you to produce. We#8217;re no longer judging you by what sort of widgets your factory makes. We#8217;re judging you by what we can expect from you in the future./p

pI?ve been reading a lot of writers? letters of introduction lately as part of an online-writing bootcamp I put on. An LOI is a short email you send to introduce yourself to prospective businesses or trade-publication editors. These are also known as marketing emails or prospecting emails. I learned a lot reviewing participants? letters. I learned why so often, these emails don?t get you clients. There are some basic, common mistakes I saw over and over. Avoid these, and your pitch has a much better chance of landing you a gig. Here are the six problem areas I?ve found in writers? email marketing pitches/p

pa href="http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/2011/12/06/want-to-save-money-slow-down/"Want to Save Money? Slow Down/aem
pThe moral of the story: Sometimes the best way to save money is to slow down. Instead of trying to be frugal by jamming as many tasks as possible into your conscious hours, save money by doing fewer things. How busy is too busy? What I?m seeing and hearing these days is that one job isn?t enough. People seek side hustles or dabble in part-time entrepreneurship until they can quit their day jobs. Heck, some poor bastards even blog for money. Other people work just one job but spend much of their free time on frugal hackery: cooking, gardening, sewing, home repair/improvement, yard sale-ing, coupon hounding, food preservation. The first group makes more money. The second group spends less money. Sometimes./p

pI?m sure you agree that whether you write fiction or faction, stories are a great way to convey your message. Even in fact-focused blog posts, a good story can engage and inspire readers. As all storytellers know, a good story conveys mood, touches emotions, and holds the reader captive. A skillful storyteller sets the scene by showing ? not telling. As a writer, you need to reach for one of your most important writing tools: description./p
