Make Money Writing Personal Stories

 


Writing

The Strength to Carry On will pay for personal stories. According to their TOS, they love personal stories and will pay $1.50 per 1,000 page views. If you’re dying to get something off of your chest and have a personal story to tell, tell it here and get paid for your writing.

The personal stories is what originally caught my attention, since I have a lot of stories built up and no one to tell them to. I started writing for The Strength to Carry On and I  love some of the personal stories on here. I’m still having trouble believing that I am getting paid to tell my personal stories among other things.

Why share personal stories:

Personal stories are often left bottled up and can eventually cause us to become overwhelmed with them. When we tell people our personal stories, it helps because we get to know that others out there that have been through the same things as us, that we are not alone.

The most difficult part of telling a personal story

I had trouble telling my personal story on The Strength to Carry On, mainly because I felt that people were going to judge me, and that they were going to laugh at me, or criticize what I had to say. To my surprise, everyone that commented had told me that they wish that they had the strength that I had to relay my story and message. The people at The Strength to Carry On, do not judge you and that’s just another reason that I love to write for them.

Should you get paid to tell your personal story?

I do believe that we should. If our personal story is going to help someone and this is the only good that is coming out of it, then why shouldn’t we get paid? There are a lot of people out here that constantly tell us that we are only seeking attention with our personal stories, but this isn’t the case at all, we aren’t seeking attention, we are seeking comfort and help. Getting paid for our personal story is a good thing in my opinion.

The drawbacks of telling a personal story

I do have to say that there are a few drawbacks from telling a personal story. A person might get criticized by those across the internet. It is actually better to go under another name if you are afraid of this happening.

If you have a personal story, go ahead and share it with us. I know I would love to hear about it and know that I’m not alone.

Make Money Online Using Fiverr to Sell Gigs

I have been suing Fiverr for about a week now. I have actually had an account with them for about a month but I only used it to help out with a website that I was building. Then it got me to thinking; why not use Fiverr to make money online? Fiverr is a community of people who offer jobs or gigs for $5, and these gig range from funny things like making up a silly song to sing to you, to getting more pageviews, likes, followers, to writing content for people. Well, I am a writer and therefore I like to get paid to write. I set up a few gigs and waited patiently. I started getting hits off of these gigs and people started buying my fiverr gigs. I was making money online within a week. Now, I have used them in the past and so I know that they do payout. They use Paypal to pay the individuals and people from around the world use them. You can either have the funds added to your paypal account or you can use the money you earned to purchase gigs yourself. On the gigs that you...

Long Tail Keywords, Niche Sites, and So Much More

 There is nothing new about niche sites but, there are still a lot of people who don’t know how to create one, why keyword long tail phrases are important, how to search for keywords, and choosing the right keywords. I walk you through as much as I can in a short…umm, maybe long, post. I will go more into this in the near future but for now, enjoy this post on niche sites and keywords. .   What is a Niche Site   A niche site is a website or blog that focuses on one particular thing. Let’s say, for instance, you wanted to do a website on crafting. A niche site for crafting would mean that you would need to take it and narrow it down as much as possible. Instead of being on a wide range, which crafting can be, you might want to focus on a certain type of craft. A niche site for crafting might be woven headbands, building tables made from oak, or using a particular tool to create crafts.   The Right keywords   When you create a niche site, you must use the Right ke...
