Is Archant paying any of you to write content here (they don't pay me!)? Have any of you used an advert-broker other than Google? If so how did you get on with them?

Some from Google ads, some from selling e-books and some from her original business as a VA. (Sadly the USD is worth nearly as much as Turkish Lire before revaluation but it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.) I don't think that she sees this as money for old rope since a lot of work is required in promoting the sites and keeping the traffic flowing. Despite this she prefers e-marketing to being a VA and is gradually moving more and more in that direction and later this month will be launching a new business venture.   Google, e-bay and all the other big boys are moving the goalposts as I write so it will not be the game it once was.

I have sold articles on Constant Content. I don't make a living from this, but there are people that do. Lots of people want web content there  & if you can sell them some articles, they will sometimes contract you to do them regularly.    Report
