This post is not about trade-offs (real and imagined) involving quantity and quality.
It’s not about the relative merits of considerate, elegantly constructed prose and high-volume, machine gunfire output.
This post is practical.

In short this review says that EzineArticles.com (EZA) has been the “king of the directories” for years and consistently produces better results than other directory sites.
The long version…
Yes, EZA has its issues and I hear it can cause its share of frustrations. If you investigate EZA and its reputation in the marketing community, you’ll find any number of complaints. The key word there is “marketing”, in the writers community I would say “not so much”.
With so many directories available, you might be wondering what makes EzineArticles.com stand out from the thousands of other distribution options.

I hate lamb. I don’t like it with mint jelly (double my displeasure). I don’t like the lamb ribs at Jackstack’s. I’d rather spend my life choking down NJ diner scrapple or San Antonio street fair tripe tacos than to force another spoonful of mutton past my tongue.
Obviously, lamb isn’t for everyone.
As a working writer you may need down time to sharpen your brain and to get ready to write again.
I am going to add posts about downtime projects that can refresh your imagination and revive you… So you can get back in there and write, write, write!
Wordle is the first installment of “fun” mind sharpening suggestions. Wordle is toy for generating “ beautiful word clouds” from text that you provide. You can copy and paste, add a website url or add a del.icio.us user name to see their tags.
The clouds show words that appear more frequently as larger and you can subtract words you do not like and make a work of art out of any word text you like. Just think how cool your recipes could look with there own little piece of artwork on the top!
I’m not interested in jumping into the ongoing war about content mills and pricing for freelance writing today, but I will point you toward a blog post on the topic.
Carson Brackney’s post about content mills and those who hate them is worth reading. Even if you don’t agree with him 100%, I think you’d have to admit he makes a few good points.
If nothing else, he gets bonus points for mentioning Denny’s, West Side Story, endongo lyre music and Tiger Woods in a single post!

I’m sure someone out there in Writerland is doing a wonderful job of finding good jobs on Craigslist. If you’re that person, you’re the exception to the rule.
Overall, Craigslist has become one of the worst possible places to go gig hunting. Somewhere along the way, the soulless scammers and thieves and the self-righteous elitists of the online content world all decided to make a stand on the free classified site.
The Evil Forces

What’s up with all of these symbols and why does it matter anyway?
As a writer, it is essential to know how to properly use the trademark, service mark, and registered symbols. The proper usage of symbols is important for articles, blog posts, Adsense blurbs, and everything that will be read by someone else.
Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way…
In terms of online success, content is critical. That’s why people are willing to pay you to write.
Furthermore, good content is important. We can all come up with a nice long list of reasons why businesses should invest in high quality material. No matter how sick you may be of hearing it, that “good content is king” thing is true.
Finally, none of us have a convincing way of defining the amorphous concept of “quality content”. We try, but at least four things prevent us from constructing a clear, brightline definition: Read the rest of this entry →

Being a writer for online or offline content is the passion of many people who have the skills, experience, and desire to write. Finding the best opportunities possible should be foremost on a writer’s mind.
