I told y'all last month that I started writing with Today.com. Well, they actually paid me the other day. It's really easy to write for them. I'm using Entrecard to draw more traffic to my blog, along with posting about it on the forum. I'm having fun with the two blogs I have with them so far.
If you'd like to check my blogs out they are on my profile. There's also a link for Today.com.

Congratulations on your payout. You are a successful writer. One day I am going to try it and see if I can make a little extra money trying to write. I am saying trying because I have never done this before.
Can you give me some good tips?

Chevee, if you are really interested in writing and learning all there is to know about being a good writer, you should check out the other forum we belong to. There are paying writing jobs, great advice, a place where you can put your writing up and get feedback and lots of great people willing to help each other. Here is the link:

Whether you write fiction or non-fiction, grammar and punctuation are very important.
With fiction, learning the correct way to do dialog is good. Also, capturing the readers interest in the first few paragraphs is important. I write mostly flash fiction...with it a twist at the end is fun.
For non-fiction, write about things you know first. This will be easier and you'll gain confidence in yourself. Submit stuff to Associated Content, or Helium. They are easy to use.
Blogs are easier because you can pretty much do whatever you want. My favorite blog is my fiction blog.
Ask any specific questions and I'll be glad to help. I'm not really that successful compared to other writers I know, but I am trying.

Today.com? This is the first time I heard that site. How easy to write there? 
Just curious. I bet it is easier than associated content?
Anyway, I would check your profile later so that I would have idea what it is all about. Congratulations for being paid. How much they are paying per article you write? or are you receiving payment through page views only? Interesting...

Cool that you got paid. I haven't made enough since I was without internet access for so long. Now since I can only get online at night, I still don't have time to write in my blogs everyday because I am trying to get all of my DS articles done. I am going to start writing my blog posts in word during the day and then copy and paste them on my blog at night so at least I will have them done. :)

I'm glad to hear you got paid. I signed up with them yesterday, even though I've read a few "iffy" reviews. I have my fingers crossed. I almost didn't apply because their home page is so ugly and clutttered, so it was nice to find that they use Wordpress themes.
Do they pay you for your posts on each blog, or is it still just for one post a day? I don't know if I would ever want to start a second blog because I have one on orble.com, plus writing for Triond and eHow.

Congrats on getting another income stream into your Paypal. It's smart to have more than 1 website paying you every month. It can really add up. I don't have any idea what Entrecard is, but I'm gonna check our your blogs right now through your profile. Take care.

I tried to sign up with them. I'm not sure if they accepted my blog or not. I dont think so because I never heard back from them. I kind of got discouraged making money from blogging, but just recently I got a payment from a site that is linked to my blog. So it hasnt been a total waste of time. I would like to make more obviously.
