Month One As A Freelancer

Today I added up my total earnings for the month from my combined buyers, ContentGuru and GetAFreelancer. I earned a total of $128--subtract from that the 10.00 I spent at Elance to get writing gigs, and the $13 I spent at Freelancer to get more opportunities to bid on jobs. I cleared a whole $104 for writing 48 articles. Yep, 48 articles--and I don't think I'm nuts. But I do work hard.

Here's the deal, I learned a whole lot this month. I learned to research fast, organize, and write fast. I learned about SEO writing--which is essential producing internet pollution, but I did it and I'm still doing it. It's part of paying my dues. My main gig for now is writing real articles (no keyword stuffing) for the internet for $2 a piece. While the money sucks, I get to search the internet and write---two of my favorite things to do. And, while I am writing two-dollar articles, I am not driving around (saving gas money) and not buying anything---still another savings
