Editing your novel

Tell Me a Story - tips

Okay, so your novel is complete - or is it. The first or even second draft of a novel will rarely be up to publication standard. It might be a brilliant idea, it might have an incredible storyline, but unless it's up to scratch, no one is going to read it. Good novels aren't written, they are rewritten.

Easy money on-line

Tell Me a Story - advice

I recently talked about Redgage. At the risk of repeating myself I just want to point out the advantage I've had so far.

I joined just two weeks ago. Already my earnings are just a few cents short of $38, and all I've done is add some of my already published stuff. You can link to blog posts you've done, articles you've written, upload photos, anything you wish and bingo, money comes trickling in. The more posts you have the greater the trickle becomes.

Easy Money

You don't have wait for people to click on advertisements on your site like you do on HubPages, Squidoo or other article sites. You actually get paid by the NUMBER OF VISITS to your article - in fact if you have Squidoo, put a link to it and visitors will clock up cash for you.

If you fancy making easy money from stuff you've already written then take a look at RedGage here

Redgage - I'm smitten

Tell Me a Story - tip

Two days ago I joined an article site called REDGAGE. It's rather unique in that you can update your own blog material to it, refer your own articles from elsewhere to it, or link to your external material and photos. Effectively, you GET PAID to write on your own site - good or what?

You can also enter material and articles directly like any other conventional site.

The system of payment is per view rather than whether your reader happens to click on an advert. Some may like this way, some not; my own preference is that I like the method. I'm useless at marketing.

The point is, that not only do you get payment per view, BUT also paid by bonus. If your article is featured, you receive a nice little bonus payment. Now I realise other sites might have upfront payments, but not for writers outside of the USA. REDGAGE allow you to operate wherever you live. They send you a Visa card once you earn in excess of $25, with the card credited to the amount you've earned....

Now, as I said, I've only been on the site a couple of days, but already one of my articles has received a $4:75 bonus - a tidy little start to my article campaign.

Not only, but also

Not only do you get paid per view, and a bonus if your work is decent, you can also be entered into a daily raffle which pays $25. You gain points towards this raffle by either producing good content, by promoting the site, or by recommending a friend.

SO good people. If YOU want to try out this site -and why wouldn't you want to earn money from your blogs - pick up this link to REDGAGE and take a look for yourself.
