Casual Articles - Should You Quit Your Day Job to Blog?
The interviews are completed, the paperwork is all filled out for Human Resources, and you have decided that this is the right candidate for the job. Now comes the formal job offer. Here are four tips to increase the success rate of your job offers:1. No Surprises: During the recruitment process, information should be mutually exchanged between candidate and potential employer. Beyond the simple job description and duties, each side should have detailed their general perceptions and expectations about the role. Both the candidate and the employer should know what the reasonable compensatio

I feel highly qualified to write this article today because in late January I joined both Ezine and Helium with great expectations. With Ezine, I was able to build up both my audience and my articles quickly, then transferred some of them to a different audience on Helium (a paid site) mid-February. However, I laughed out loudly in some derision when I saw t
Using a general resume.DON'T DO IT! You cannot successfully use the same resume to apply to several different jobs.Your resume should be custom written for each job you are targeting. When you send out something generic, it shows apathy and lack of motivation. This is NOT the impression you want to send to your potential employers.Irrelevant content.For example, if you are applying for an accounting position, don't list your lifeguard position you held back in 1989.Spouses, children, hobbies, and your favorite movie genre are al
1. The Internet presents a golden opportunity to express yourself in unprecedented ways without the editorial straitjacket of someone else's idea of what you should write or even how you should write it. You also have an instant global audience, especially one which is likely to be interested in your subject matter and specific expertise. An audience which is guaranteed to grow as they get used to your subject, bookmark your page and pass on your items to others.
2. There are thousands of ezines hungry for content which will help to give you valuable publicity in the early days when the money will be tight but there are also paying sites like Constant Content, Helium and Associated Content that can slowly build the income while you hone your craft and take advantage of every writing opportunity. Don't worry about the quality of that content at the beginning. It will certainly improve as you grow in experience and confidence. There are enough successful, expert writers around to inspire you.
Build your own website
3. For those more technology savvy, building your own website, which is then stuffed full of your articles and with paying Google Adsense to support them, is the best move because the more traffic you have coming to that website to click your adverts, the more money you're certainly going to make - and it will be all yours. You can even sell the articles individually once you have written a few and built up a catalogue.
4. Writing is an ideal way to share your knowledge, build your reputation and improve your writing skills all at the same time. By concentrating on your writing, you will increase your market, your revenue and your potential much quicker than trying to do it from the sidelines. It will take some hard work, but so does everything worthwhile in life.
5. There is nothing to beat the glow of satisfaction when you see that first stream of money coming in to reward that effort. Nothing at all!

If you want to really stand out as an actor (and I think you do), you will have to make your resume stand out for you.Your resume, cover letter, and headshot are really the first impressions you'll ever make. They act as your agent—good ones get you auditions, bad ones don't…So, how does one go about standing out from the rest of the crowd? Well, first of all, you have to think like a marketer. What makes YOU interesting and unique as an actor? This is you USP (Unique Selling Point). Your resume and cover letter act as your USP…In order to make your resume and cover letters r

The following is the most comprehensive ever explanation to the most mysterious phenomenon of Capitalism – the Business Cycles. In order to ensure that the article can be read by any well educated reader, I have minimized the economics jargon and have added a short and simple introduction to the structure of the economy. Each and every one of us would be interested to know as to why we cannot have a paradise on earth. Why is it that we are often besieged by such painful downslides of economic activity such as Great Depression or the nerve wracking periods such as Stagflations? Why can’t we all be

We rely on all kinds of tools and advice to help our businesses grow, from accounting and legal advice to graphic design and sales seminars. But what are we doing for the important job of building our business's reputation in the community?Public relations skills and techniques are a powerful part of any growing business, but many small organizations believe that the cost of getting into the PR game will cost them thousands NOT hundreds of dollars. If you take the traditional approach to public relations, you may be right PR Agencies are known for high hourly rates and retainer payment pla

Bicycle shops are sprawled through out cities and neighborhoods of America. In fact most of us remember being taken to a bike shop when we were of age to get our first bicycle.But things have changed, thanks to the innovation of the Internet. These days, anyone can get on the Internet from their home, office and even at the local coffee shop to buy music, clothes and gather information for a school report.The Internet has also influenced the bicycle business. More bicycle companies are selling directly to the consumer via the Internet. Take for example Woodstock Bikes of Woodstock,

I feel highly qualified to write this article today because in late January I joined both Ezine and Helium with great expectations. With Ezine, I was able to build up both my audience and my articles quickly, then transferred some of them to a different audience on Helium (a paid site) mid-February. However, I laughed out loudly in some derision when I saw the first 2 cents earned by my articles 7 days later, especially as we deal in pounds in Britain, which are currently worth twice the dollars. I promised myself not to leave my day job in a hurry to get my cents. I worked out that, at this rate, I would hit the first $25 pay day some time in mid-2010!
In February I made 80 cents, March it was $1.20 and April saw it rise gradually to $2.13, still low but a definite increase. I suddenly saw the potential and what was possible when I hit the end of May and $10 registered on my screen. I could not believe that 2 cents could turn into $10 so quickly. Excitement began to creep in, especially when Helium changed the presentation and objectives of its site, and I took it seriously and began to write more earnestly. I was also gradually working out what earned and what didn't. My own craft was improving.
Red letter day!
On 9th June, at 3.30 am, I was mesmerised in front of my screen as the money slowly changed to $25.01, my FIRST eligible payment from Helium, and THREE YEARS early! Not only that, but it also registered $12 for the first week of June, more than I earned for the whole of May. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was an awesome moment mainly because of the sheer potential for what is possible at this rate. I had gone from earning two and a half cents per day in February to $1.46 cents per day in June. From $25 acorns I already see myself as the first British Helium millionaire writer. The cynics might scoff, but after the last three months, I believe anything is possible and have my own targets for the rest of the year. So watch this space closely!
The final thing you need in order to leave your day job to blog is obviously the self-belief, confidence and faith that you can do it and make it work. Believe me, you really will move mountains with such an attitude. You have to forget thoughts of mortgage or any negative financial burdens when you start because you need to think SUCCESS every step of the way to come out
