Make best use of your time by submitting to article directories

October 22nd, 2009

I was endeavoring to write a novel for over 12 months Don't expect to make money as an unpublished authored when it comes to that novel you are working on. And with the bills piling up and the rent overdue by a week, I decided I’d have to take on second job. My foremost work is to take night classes in creative writing to low skilled workers at local community college.

I had just applied for a position in a bookstore when I learned about writing articles for online publication. I rejected the idea immediately, because I did not identify myself as being a journalist or an article writer. At least until he told me how much money could be made. No, it wasn’t a six-figure salary, but he was making a lot more than I ever could working at a bookstore. He indicated he was free to take on the task of authoring pieces, because his time was his own. The advantage of his job was not having to spend cash on gas or tolls, because he worked out of his own home.

I was hesitant, but I decided to give it a try. To be honest, I was a little intimidated at first. I was very unsure if I would be able to find success at it. I knew I was a solid fiction writer, but writing articles? My friend impressed upon me how simple it was. The only advice he asked me to formulate good resume to submit to any one of the freelance writing sites online. These sites were driven by businesses who were looking for writers to compose articles that would then be submitted to an article directory.

Article directories are websites that gives users free access to insightful, informative articles. The person creating the articles will get guidance as to what topics to cover, which then get submitted to the article directory. If the article is accepted, the writer receives two back links, which he then connects to the website of the business he works for. It helps to enhance the purchase level by creating the traffic for the business.

After I had landed my first client, I wrote ten articles on the best way to wax hardwood floors. Articles are written differently by some authors, and narrative fiction is one of the styled I used in article writing. Once I was finished with the web content, I next took care of submission to the pre-determined article directory of their choice. While all of the articles were not accepted the first time out, the article directory gave me expert advice on how to improve my articles and give them just what they were looking for.

After a few weeks of writing articles for the article directory, I was closing in on a hundred percent acceptance rate, my rent was paid in full, and I had more time to work on my novel than I would have had I been working at the bookstore. I was pleased that I sent my work to an article directory that provided helpful material at no cost.

How I Used The Fresh Papaya (PawPaw):

The fruit was to be consumed ‘As is’ because we always have a small plate of fruit everyday around 5 pm.

I planned on adding a teaspoon of seeds into my Yogurt at lunchtime.

The ‘Coleslaw’ I would add to any Salad (even in a sandwich) as it’s summertime in Oz and we are eating a lot of Salads. Don’t know what I am going to do in the Winter though? If you have any ideas please add them as a comment so everyone can benefit.

I had also planned on five serves per day because I thought it would be better to ‘Drip Feed’ it into me, as my wife thinks I am a ‘Drip’ sometimes anyway – so that should fit.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.

So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.

My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:

  • a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
  • b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.

I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.

So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.

The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative

Prostate Treatments and Me.

Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests :-(

So this is the latest:

My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.

HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.

An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
