Well, I’m one month into full-time writing and loving it.

I’ve been hustling my butt to get extra writing to top off the one regular writing/social media job that I have and I have not found it difficult. In fact, some days I’ve had too much.  But it was good to hustle for a bit.

As a result of the hustling I’ve gotten two more regular gigs and have two more in the works for September.  Between these I have no need to do anything else but I have time to take on a few more things.  That’s good.  That means that when I need to make a little extra cash I can do some of my content mill writing or I can put out word to a few sources and get a little extra in.

It’s no where nearly as difficult as I thought it would be and if I’d known how suited I was for this life I would have done it five years ago!

My favorite part of teaching the Administrative Professional course at Robertson College was the Business Communications section.  But it was also very challenging for many of my students.  So, I thought it was well worth writing about how we can keep our business writing simple when I guest posted at Simply Stated Business.

Go and check it out for yourself and you’ll find my 6 point check list for keeping business writing simple as well as two ways to improve (hint: it has to do with repetition!).

Find out how you can keep your business writing simple.

By the way, if you are interested in having me guest post on your blog or if you’re interested in doing a guest post here there’s a link at the top of the blog that says “Guest Posting”.  Go and fill it out to you and I’ll get back to you as soon as I have a chance!

So, despite the fact that I’m seriously behind on The Ultimate Blog Challenge I’m also starting The 31 Days Blog Challenge tomorrow.  They’ll kind of merge together but the 31 Days Blog Challenge has specific tasks.

It’s based on Darren Rowse’s e-book 31 Days to Build a Better Blog.  I bought this ages ago and while I’ve read over parts of it I’ve never really put it to use so I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to go through it with a bunch of other people for support.

If you missed getting in on the Ultimate Blog Challenge you might want to try this one.    Since I’ve been through this book I know it is going to be a great experience!

When I first started this blog I gave myself a 30 Articles in 30 Days Challenge.  Well, I ended it because I didn’t think it was really worth it.  But I’ve been reading a lot about others’ successes and I think I am going to give it another try.

I’ve mostly been doing passive income at Bukisa and since I last talked about it I have hit payout twice.  Only $20 but it’s better than I was doing before.  I know I need to be a little more focused.  I was just randomly putting up articles before and that doesn’t work.  So, I’m going to put a little more thought into it by being more niche specific.  I haven’t decided on the niche I want to work though so I obviously need to get to work on that.

I’m also going to try Triond.  I’ve heard some good and some bad but mostly good.

There are other ways to make a passive income though.  I still have plans to work my e-book plan and hopefully some of you will be joining me.

So, if you have advice about building a passive income leave me a comment.  And yes, you can leave links to your blog posts or e-books or articles in my comments.  As long as you’re contributing to the discussion links are good.
