Brenda, I'm glad you found it informative and useful.

I use twitterfeed but did wonder about some of this. I mostly use it to promote my Zazzle stuff and not my writing. I've wondered about how often to set the feeds to go out since I am selling products, and don't want to spam on Twitter (which is mainly all I use), but now I see that I could be using it to do much more. This is a very useful page with easy to understand directions.

Thank you for this informative and useful article.

I do recommend genealogy. I started when I was 17 and I've been slowly working back ever since. It's really rewarding.

Don't be overwhelmed. <3 I've got some guides for beginners up on Wizzley and I'm always here to answer any questions about it. Good luck on finding your buried roots!

LOL! Really? That's a funny coincidence. I wonder if she knows? *giggling*

@Terri It's the manageability that I am after. I do not have time to read lots of stuff. I like to be selective. I like to have time to consider what has been written and comment on it. I do not, for instance, go to or read product articles. They may influence my plans for hitting a market - I may think I can do better, and write about something I am not particularly interested in.
I see where you are coming from though. But then again I would prefer to read something from a mature writer rather than something that was coming from someone yet to find their voice or market.

Mmmmmm interesting use of the contents module at the back-end - any evidence of this being beneficial (or is that another article? - I use that 'trick' to get people coming back to see if it has been written yet)?
I am not pleased that you have written this article. I am a contrarian, looking for the marketplace that nobody is aiming for. Buying at the low, selling at the peak. And there is much to aim for that is not in keyword research tools.
Write lots of words about the things that most interest you, or that have peeked your interest momentarily, and it is likely that you have picked something that people like yourself are interested in at that moment: a new designer, the next must have toy for Christmas, the next best place to write or socialize (note US spelling).
At least if you write as it comes rather than planning what to write you can get twice as much 'out there'.
The disadvantage we have in the UK is that we do not receive the junk mail that the US gets. That is a great place to find the next thing that is going to be marketed, flashed across the television screen, and have millions spent on promotion, that we could take advantage of.
Agree, agree, agree with most of your attitude to KR, with the proviso's mentioned. So, I am not the only one after all.

Excellent tutorial with great photos of your cartoon cat. I've never liked to draw animals as they always ended up looking like unrecognizable cartoons!

Thanks for the research - they all look good.

I enjoyed that. I haven't read the original Iron Man comics. I'm hoping my boys get into comics and graphic novels when they're older.

I prefer the new pages feed. Then I get to discover pages by new authors, not just the ones I already know. This will get unmanageable as the site grows but it works well at the moment.

Great advice. Something I want to do, but feel to overwhelmed to start! Maybe this will help :)

In researching the article I looked at other people's earnings as well as my own. It is hard to say who will earn what where, but I do feel strongly that Wizzley is a better option for beginners and will beat Squidoo over time.

Amazon is still the best affiliate company out there. They may have one of the lowest affiliate commission percentages but at least you know that you are promoting legit products. Unlike other affiliate companies who can offer you huge commissions but you will have to sell your soul promoting their bogus and rehashed products.

You have raised a few good points in this article. I agree with most of what you said. But don't you think, you should have written more pages on Wizzley before you start comparing and claiming it to be a better alternative than Squidoo. Just because Wizzley offers you a higher cut in the revenue doesn't mean you'll earn more from it. :)
