You all realize that the grand was soooo last week. I've made $43 on Wizzley alone since posting the original 8 days ago. I have no idea what's happening, but it's most certainly happening.
Best of all, my top selling article is on a subject that expert voices at the time said would never make money. I was passionate about the topic though and went for it. Most of that $43 has come from it. I would like to tell you what it is, but that would be silly. :p
Top advice I can give you is this: write about what moves your soul to absolute passion and wonder, and forget about what's supposed to make money. Those markets are swamped. If it's fascinating you, then it'll fascinate others too. I would NEVER have picked my top money-making article. It was fascination not business prowess.
Second biggest category is weddings in general. Pam's been telling us this for years. Anne tried to tell us last year too. Pam and Anne are wise. (And to think that I only wrote those initial Pagan handfasting articles to help Anne out, and because I was the only Pagan here...)
Also, if anyone knows anything about cosmetics and wants some traffic, message me. I have a possible article for you. I would recommend speed on it though, as it'll receive a boost a week on Sunday. <3
Finally, I had an article go semi-viral on Facebook yesterday! *happy dance* It was my latest Richey Edwards one. It got picked up by the mod. of a huge Manics group there. First I knew about it was when a friend randomly saw it there and messaged me. Checked my stats and I'd had 655 people turn up to read it! Again, that was one written for the love of it, rather than the marketing.
