Wizzley For Writers - Writing Online for Profit

Below you will see two images that show you the difference in load time between Squidoo and Wizzley. Throughout this page the statistics are provided by Alexa.com which measures a number of features of a site compared to other sites.

When you land on a website what do you want to happen?  You want it to load as quickly as possible don't you?  Well when we compare Squidoo and Wizzley we see that Wizzley has a fast load time!

When we talk about bounce rate, which you will sometimes see referred to as "exit rate" we are talking about the percentage of visitors who just visit one page of a site and then leave.

So in terms of sites like Wizzley and Squidoo if someone lands on one page the bounce rate refers to the percentage of people who don't visit any featured pages/lenses on the site.  So whether that is other people's pages or your own they are not being visited.  Of course it may be that the person finds exactly what they want on your page or the page they land on.

However, we want visitors to visit more than just the page they land on don't we?  Well from the images below it looks like Wizzley visitors visit more pages.

In the time I have been on Wizzley I have created 124 Pages which have already generated tens of thousands of  Page impressions and Unique visitors! Which for a new writing online site is very impressive.

Amongst some of the benefits and key features I have seen on Wizzley are

• Rapid indexing by major Search Engines including Google, Yahoo and Bing!
• Multiple Page 1 rankings for my current pages on Wizzley
• Incredibly responsive management team who respond very quickly in the site Forum where you also find other members sharing their knowledge, tips and experiences of writing online.
• Google Adsense earnings (you need an Adsense Account which is easy for you to set up)
• Incredibly supportive and helpful community
• Many respected Squidoo and HubPages online writers and page creators are creating pages on Wizzley
• Simple Page creation - incorporating the best features of some other sites
• The Management team are brimming with ideas as to how to take the site forward both in terms of features and increasing the range of options for earning through the site.
• Wizzley offers those writing online a great selection of affiliate programmes and you are able to use banners from affiliate networks/programmes that they do not offer.
• Best of all they have a rigorous copyright filter which checks articles and ensures a better quality of article and better recognition by the Search Engines!

All in all Wizzley is a great place for online writers and those who are writing online to make money!

I came across Jo Harrington some little while ago and was impressed with the quality and indeed quantity of work she was producing on Wizzley.

In just twelve months she has established herself as one of the most prolific and successful authors or writers on the site.  She creates really engaging pages on a wide range of subjects. I always find myself completely engaged by her pages.

At the beginning of April, after what is obviously months of work, she released her book A Writer's Guide to Wizzley which as you can see below is available for you to easily download to your Kindle or any device on which you have the Kindle reading app!

I have had the good fortune to receive a review copy of the book and I was completely bowled over!  She leaves no stone unturned in sharing her approach to succeeding on Wizzley.  The great thing is that you can also take the ideas she shares and apply them to other online writing sites including of course your own.

When she opened the book with the phrase "Wizzley is an Online Magazine" she caught my attention immediately.  If like me you have been writing for the web for some time then there are some things that you will be familiar with. But there is also a lot that will make you go "that's an interesting idea" or "that's something I must try/apply."

I do generate a good monthly income online and one of the things that I do is always invest some of those monies each month in new learning. As a learning and development specialist I am a great believer in the maxim that we never stop learning and Jo's book is a real opportunity for you to keep learning!
