Writing For A Living Online

If you have the skills to sell, then there are some jobs waiting for you on the internet… jobs that you can earn from, and at times, can even rival any day job you can have. The World Wide Web is indeed a haven for many skills, and if you possess any of these skills, you can establish your own online service business.

The correct term for such a task is freelancing. There are many freelancing opportunities that you can choose from, depending on the skill set you have.

The most lucrative of these freelancing opportunities is writing. Now, there are many kinds of writing assignments you can choose to accept.
1. Content is what fuels the internet. And webmasters from all over the world are constantly pressured to provide content for their visitors. We’re talking about a demand that will not cease. And you can charge for your services on a per word basis. The average going rate is $0.02 per word, but of course, you can charge more if your talent deserves such disctinction.

2. Ghostwriting for eBooks/special reports. There are a number of internet marketers who are looking for fresh information products to sell. These requests vary, depending on the niche they are focusing on. If you have great research skills and again, the writing flair to present it in a readable way, then you can try ghostwriting. Average going rate is $7 per page, or $500 per 10,000 words.

3. Copywriting. If you want to go for the big time bucks, then copywriting is the opportunity for you. Copywriting involves the creation of sales letters, or sales copies, that will help your clients sell a product or a package. These sales letters or sales copies are often 3,000 to 7,000 pages long.
If you’re going to pursue writing on the internet, there are 3 cardinal rules which you should remember:

- By no means should you plagiarize existing works, more so, works that are already published in the World Wide Web. Remember that your clients will hire you to write unique, original works.

- Upon completion of the project, you are to transfer all the rights to the works to your client.

- Respect deadlines. Always remember that your clients’ businesses are dependent on the submission of your assignments.

Make to Instantly Calm Yourself

No matter how confident and relaxed you are, you know what it’s like to be nervous before an interview, trembling before a speech, or cold and clammy over the pending results of your graded quiz.

The point of this article is to provide you with eight different ways to release this tension.

Also, notice the title of this article is not “…Calm Yourself Down”. We don’t calm down. We calm up.

You should not feel tired or detached. You should simply become “in the zone”: Alert, focused and relaxed.

Chair Press-Up


This one’s great for if you are waiting to give a speech or if you are nervous in a group setting. Simply put your feet flat onthe floor. Put your hands on the arms of your chair. If your chair doesn’t have arms, place them on the edges of the seat. Brace yourself. Lock your arms – let your torso hang from your locked arms for a moment while you finish exhaling… long and deep. Go limp, but remain locked in the up position.

Breathing


Breathing is absolutely crucial to calming yourself. I recommend you do some in-depth research on Eastern styles of breathing, and how to breathe powerfully with your diaphragm. Breathe in strongly and slowly through your nose as you expand your diaphragm. Your stomach should rise, not your chest

Spread Legs

This one may not seem like much, but it has serious subconscious value. When most people are relaxed (particularly us guys) we have a tendency to spread our legs slightly and take up more space.
Perform the action, and the feeling of comfort will follow.

Slouch Slightly


Yes, slouching is bad for your posture. Slouching for years will curve your spine. Slouching for a few minutes will not. This is another habit most people demonstrate when they are relaxed and comfortable: They slouch. So, next time you feel antsy about a situation, allow yourself to lean back your head and slouch slightly in your chair.

Power Hands

Powerful people are often calm, relaxed and comfortable in their actions. When they sit around a table, they often do one of two things with their hands: Steepling, or the hands-behind-the-head. To steeple, put your elbows on the table, and steeple your hands in front of your face – like the bad guy does in the movie when he’s going “M’yesss…. Muwahaha.. Think of yourself as the bad guy when you steeple your hands.. You steeple your hands as you turn over your master plan inside your head. Everything is falling into place so perfectly. Muwhaha. For more of a “corporate” power / relaxation effect, lean back in your chair andput your hands behind your head, lacing your fingers together. It has profound effects in making you feel more powerful and relaxed.

Anchoring

This is an incredible psychological tool we will cover in more depth in our products. Your subconscious mind anchors certain actions / stimuli with certain feelings and responses. Psychological anchors and triggers are used everywhere. It is the reason behind many strong emotional connections. If you had a song played at your wedding, hearing the song played at a later date may make you cry. The emotional event was your wedding, and you heard a song during it (the anchor). Thus, the song became tied to the feelings you felt during your wedding.

The emotional event was becoming very ill, and the anchor was the drink. Therefore, smelling the drink in the future could make you sick very quickly. Anchors are used everywhere, in positive and negative emotions. To use them to calm yourself, develop a specific anchor every time you are calm. My anchor is to place my hand palm-down on my thigh. Every time I am relaxed, I do this, to reinforce the anchor. Then when I need to becalm , I simply fire the trigger (palm on the thigh) and my mind recreates the emotion tied to that anchor – which is relaxation.. Do it whenever you are relaxed, and when you need to become relaxed, doing it will help to put you in that mental state.

Kill Internal Dialogue

There are many ways to do this, but here’s one good technique: If you are talking yourself into a worrisome state, or worrying while talking to someone during a conversation, do this immediately. Defocus your eyes, and open your peripheral vision. Picture your conscious thoughts in those areas. Now, draw your gaze up from both points at 45 degree angles until they meet in the high-center of your vision. Now, picture your gaze coming straight back to your own head, as you return your consciousness to your own mind. Not only does it help increase focus, but the simple effort required to perform the exercise will often stop any distracting internal dialogue you are having at the time.

Centering

If you feel a general anxiety of your whole body, such as being self-conscious of your hands, feet, or body position, this exercise can work wonders.. Take a few deep, long breaths: in through your nose and out through your mouth. Place your tongue on your front pallet, directly above the backside of your upper teeth- this is effective in stimulating cross-lobe integration (and relaxation) in the brain. Project your thoughts there in your mind. Continue breathing, and keep your thoughts there, until you are fully relaxed and have forgotten about clammy hands, sweaty feet, or mismatched socks. Once you are relaxed, slowly bringthe point in front of you closer as you return to a fully aware state.

Another repair that can set you for the financial, if you have not already done so immediately, repair windshield. Many times our glasses get a crack or chip from road debris that upside-down on the road. If the damaged glass is taken for repair on time, it can be repaired. However, if you wait too long you will have to eventually purchase and replacement of windshield and payment to be installed, which is considerably more expensive than a repair. In addition, some stores will offer mobile service, where they will come to you to repair your windshield.

All of these repairs could be completed in most auto repair shops.

When You're Angry, How to Make A Communication


Communication is more than talking to each other. It is more about getting your feelings across effectively, and encouraging your partner to do the same. These tips should help you keep your relationship air cleared.
1. If you have a bone to pick with your partner, invite him / her to sit down. Explain that you don't understand what he / she said or did, and admit that it hurt your feelings, made you angry, or whatever effect it had. Give your partner time to respond, and don't contradict him / her.
"It hurt my feelings when you discussed my weight in front of your mother."
"I felt angry when you told me I spent too much on my mom's birthday."
You may not like what your partner has to say in response, but listen anyway. If what he / she says confuses you, ask him / her to explain.
"Does it matter to you how much I weigh? If it does, can you tell me why?"
"Are you worried about money? I thought we had enough for the gift I bought."
If you discuss your annoyances rationally, you will at least understand what your partner's concerns are.
If you start out with:"Don't you EVER discuss my weight in front of your mother again."
or
"You're such a cheap skate. It seems we spend plenty on your relatives."
you may be justified, but after the yelling and screaming, you won't be any better informed. The disagreement may be aired, but it won't be settled. If you threaten, curse or pout, your partner will be more inclined to dig his / her heels in and feel justified in repeating his / her offensive behavior.
2. Don't contradict your partner when he / she shares his / her feelings. Don't minimize his / her experience, or tell him / her he /she is exaggerating.
"I didn't realize you felt that way. I didn't interpret her expression as disgust."
“I would appreciate it if you would not comment on my body in public."
:” Lighten up!"
3. The silent treatment may have worked on your best friend in high school, but your partner doesn't have any reason to put up with your manipulative behavior for long. We'd all like to think the reason for our anger is universal, and that a person in his / her right mind would understand how we feel without being told. However, your partner may genuinely not know why your mad, sorry, disappointed, or angry with him / her, and if you withhold this information, he / she will lose interest in guessing.. We have all had different life experiences, and your partner's may not have included events that would inform him / her that his / her behavior is hurtful to some. In short, lack of information, not malice may be behind your partner's hurtful actions.
