secondtimeagain I really like your blog. You sound a lot like me before I started working from home. I'm going to write a quick post in my blog about yours and add the link to my blogroll. I hope you'll consider adding me to your list as well :)

Firstly, should you use your real name, or the name you normally use online or should you create a completely different name? Also, would you include topics in your existing blog, if they fit the blogs topic, or would you...

secondtimeagain Thanks! The fact that it's so easy to trace things online has been one of my considerations. At least with something separate, I can at least avoid any negative results on my other blogs by the majority.

For all of you Helium writers who participate in the contests, Do you have a strategy for writing to contests? Is there a system that you've been trying out? Have you found a sure fire way to win the contests? Or are you like...

secondtimeagain This is the strategy I've used for awhile. I've asked about it on the forums at AC. As long as AC publishes it before you place it on Helium, then you're not breaking any rules. As a rule of thumb, I would publish more on AC than just Helium contest articles,...

secondtimeagain I'm a believer and my response is probably not what most believers would consider faithful. I believe an atheist is just as entitled to their beliefs as I am. If they truly believe there is no God, then that's their belief. God does not want us to force our...

Lock your doors when driving through a black neighborhood, if you are a white woman? Is it racist, if you're a white woman to feel a little apprehensive if four black guys get onto an elevator with you? What if the guys were...

secondtimeagain As a woman, I automatically go on guard when I'm in a secluded area with multiple guys, no matter what they race. Also, I don't care whether the neighborhood is black or white. I lock my doors because any race, with any type of background could be dangerous....

secondtimeagain With all the television, newspapers, and magazines covering the election, I don't think there's anyone that doesn't know who Barack Obama is. Kids live and breathe the media. If they don't, they will at least hear the big news from teachers and friends. In...

I just read an AC article where the author said he was making monthly four-digit paychecks from writing around 30 articles a week. How one would manage to pull that off is beyond me, but I am going to try to write more. How many...

secondtimeagain My goal right now is actually writing 30 a week for one site and at least 10 more for AC. I guess it depends on finding topics and how fast you write. This is my full time job, so I can spend more time on it. I've also reached the point where I usually write 3...

secondtimeagain The best strategy I've found is to try to guarantee yourself at least a little income for your hard work. Keep in mind, this will only work for two week long contests. Step 1: Choose between 7 and 10 titles from your desired contest(s) Step 2: Write at least...

secondtimeagain Yes they absolutely pay, as long as you're a US Citizen. Simply write a 400 or greater word article on something you're interested in and submit. I'd suggest submitting for non-exclusive, upfront pay if you want to use the article elsewhere in the future....

secondtimeagain I've been paid by AC every month since August of 07. You can write on pretty much any topic you want. It pays to do a search for you topic on AC before you write. The more information they already have on the topic, the less likely you are to receive upfront...

secondtimeagain When you read ways to relieve stress, they always sound so simple. However, it can be hard to just let go even for a few minutes. Great and useful tips though. Music and exercise are my favs and work well for me.
