While I could have updated my original Inquisitr review, there were too many changes and comments that I wanted to make. It seemed to make more sense to create a new review for the new pay model. If you want to read my original Inquisitr review, you can find it here. This will go over […]
SiteGround review: Why you need SiteGround web hosting
Note: This post has been updated on April 6, 2021. I no longer use SiteGround web hosting and now recommend BigScoots ($). I’ve been with SiteGround web hosting ($) since August 2016.

Trello review: How I use Trello to manage my tasks and plan ahead
When you work from home, you need tools to manage your tasks. Trello is the one that I use on a daily basis, whether it’s from the app on my phone or the desktop app when I’m on my computer or Surface Pro. After using it for many years, I feel more confident in sharing […]

Guardian Liberty Voice Scam: Why You Should Stay Away as a Freelance Writer
I wrote in the past about the Guardian Liberty Voice scam. At the time I said it wasn’t one, and at the time it wasn’t. Things have changed over the years. As of the middle of May 2015, I completely stopped writing for the site. I’d cut back considerably since February 2015, when I stopped […]
Seraphic Insights Scam: Why I Don’t Recommend This Writing Site
Last month I heard about a new writing site called Seraphic Insights. I joined up because I saw a writer I trusted and followed was a moderator there. Surely that was a good sign right? It didn’t stop the questions going through my head. Was Seraphic Insights a scam? Would it turn out to be […]
Finding Freelance Writing Jobs at Elance: Is This Any Good for You?
Elance is another site for bidding on projects. However, it isn’t quite as bad as Freelancer.com for the race to the bottom. There are freelance writing jobs at Elance that pay a semi-decent amount, as long as…you build up your reputation! You could end up working for small amounts of money at first, while you […]
Bidding for Jobs at Freelancer.com: Is It Worthwhile for Freelance Writers?
Freelancer.com is a large platform, offering “employers” the ability to set up projects for freelancers to bid on.

Is Fiverr a Good Site for Freelance Writers?
