I've Almost Lost A Treasure

Since I made up a plan to concentrate more on writing this year, I decided to give up some of my ptc and give more time with myLot and expertscolumn. I remember I had taken for granted EC for several months because I am trying to find other ptc sites. Until I realized that I am not making that much from those sites compared to the effort I am giving. So as part of my new year's plan, I started working for EC. Just this morning, when I opened my email, I was really happy to see a notice of my payment from the site. Had I known that I could earn more from writing, I should have given it more focus before. Well, anyway, I think I am not yet late and can still make the best from writing. Just wanted to share the good news to my friends. Hope everyone is doing fine this day. Have a nice day every one!

That is good. You have only 2 sites to concentrate. You can also triond as your another writing site. Mylot is not strict in grammar but my friend told me expert column is hard to approve the article. Good luck on you.

Yes my friend, follow the desires of your heart and strive to perfect what you are already good at and it won't come as a surprise that success and money would follow later.

Hi louie! I am really trying my best. I am happy with the initial result and hopefully I could make better on the days to come? Don't you have any plan of writing for a particular site too? Thank you for sharing!

Okay I understand. I know you are doing lot of things especially that you have several businesses which you have to personally take care of. I am engaging in writing because of some members who are also into writing and shared that they were earning passively. So if this is possible, then I could write now and if time comes that I would be earning without having to promote most of the time, then I could do other work. Thank you for sharing!

It's good to know that you have made a resolution to make more money through writing. I know that you'll be successful as long as you truly follow through with discipline and lots of hard work. A lot of us online may have made our own resolutions to make more money this year. I haven't made really a commitment on any online program but just to make something this year for some purpose.

Hi friend! Thank you for dropping by. You know, I really want to be successful online because I want to share it with my friends and family. I am already successful with my offline career but there is something in me that made me want to be successful with online activities as well. I am a kind of person who doesn't easily give up on anything. Thank you for sharing!

Hi friend, good to hear you got your payment from EC. I think it is your first payment. Congrats for it. Really EC is a great site, if we give our full focus to that site and promote our articles, we make a good income from that site, recently i too lost my focus with EC as a result my earnings are low. After reading your topic, i too get motivation and planned to give my focus to that site to earn more.

Yes vid! If I am not mistaken I joined the site under your referral link. Thank you for introducing me to the site. Have a nice day!

yes, you are my one and only active referral in that site. Really EC is a good site to refer others, but it is hard to get active referrals to that site. Now they changed their terms and newbies don't have the ability to republish their articles

Our time is precious and we must utilize it the best we can, and spending time on sites that do pay us and reward us for our time as well as our creativity and writing skills is a great find indeed. I used to belong to a couple of writing sites prior to joining Mylot, they actually paid my own currency too, but then I found affiliate marketing and started to earn from that instead, now, however I am finding affiliate marketing is not paying off, so the good news is it frees up more time to do other things and spend more time on Mylot.

Yes that's true wolfie considering that I also have my offline work. That is why I want to devote my time on a site that will give me more value for my time. I am glad that you are also doing well with your present online activities. Thank you for sharing!

Yes, you are right. If possible you can have all your articles in EC copied to your own blog, then post them at other writing site such as shvoong. I know shvoong gives a little money but when you have lots of articles there you can make money too. With the same articles at 3 different articles you can have 3 income sources--from your EC, your monetised blog, and from shvoong.

Hiya Aries, Very pleased for you then if you have gotten paid already. I have heard about them before too was thinking all along that it was only for the U.S.A. Just have enough time to write on here and that´s it for now. Keep on writing on your sites though.xxx

Hiya Aries, No at the moment I am very stuck for time and if I did join a site it would not be one where its difficult for me to keep up with I would really have to like it a lot. I have already deleted one.xxx

We can always try new things if given a time. But we don't have to force ourselves if we cannot do it as it will only add to our burden. Anyway, the site will always be there and we can join it anytime. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Cutie! You should give it a try once more. They are not removing any member even you are not active. that's based on my experience. Have a nice day!

Congrats! Since this is a new year, you should have the added vigour to strive towards your new goal to be active in EC. Do not neglect the rest, especially if it does not take up too much of your time.

Hi friend! Yes, I have to practice more on time management. I have my offline job also that is why I cannot devote my entire time online plus the fact that my place of assignment requires that I travel for more than four hours per day. Thank you for sharing!

Hi rafiholmes. Is it a writing site too? Actually, as of now I would concentrate firt on EC and I would only start with a new site if I am stable with this one. Thank you for sharing!

I hope Mylot and Expertscolumn will not change that way. They are the only 2 sites that so far can provide good passive income online. Mylot by far is the easiest to use. Expertscolumn also pays and is quite easy to publish articles online. It's good to earn by doing things that you love to do. I don't know about RedGage if it really pays.

Hi averygirl! Yes, I also hope for that. As of now I am active on these two equally wonderful sites. About RedGage, I found this site before which pays for uploading photos. pay per view also. But aside from that, this site can be a good bookmarking site. although I cannot fully use the site to the best benefit. Time constraint is still my problem. Thank you for sharing!

He he. I think it is a skill because it is something that I just learned. I remember my former boss told her co board of directors when she hired me on my former job, Work can be learned but the dedication and character of a person is inherent. Thank you for sharing!

Hi maria! Yes they are paying base on views. So you must have a good article in order to gain views and must do some other promotion. 5 is the minimum. Well, quality content would still be one important thing to consider. I know you can also do the same. I've visited your blog already that's why I can say that you too can do it. Thank you for sharing!
