Writing for Money Online and Off: Where Does Social Media Fit In?

My efforts to collect my thoughts onto digital notepads and blog rolls and posts has led me to believe that I'm glad that I went into the world of social media BEFORE I actually got myself ready to produce content en-masse. Content you see, needs to be read. It takes the eyes oif the world to mould it into something better or as good as it is right now. Think about the countless blogs that are produced but not read, ever. I'm thinking about those everytime I write something new. But not so much now, because as I write, I communicate with my social friends online. Getting them to help me make better posts and include more news and information about me. They like to hear about what and how I am doing. Forget the information, give my friends something about me, and they are ready to come back for more.

The personal side of blogging takes over when you blog about your life and ambitions. While an internet marketer looks for the next referral or membership sign-up, a writer want thoughts to come into his head so that he can get them down inside his digital library for others to see. Making friends is easy, writing to the public is hard. Make friends first and let them tell how you are doing to get the most direction while you work. Writing is work, even if you love your job.

These are the places you will find me, looking for a better way to organize my content into something that you can enjoy. We party, we race, we write, we laugh, we cry, we even make enough money to come back everyday and do it again.

I Write for Money Online, you should too if you think you got what it takes to make enough friends or quality content to make friends with. Over and Out.

Where will we go from here?

It's not about where you been (except prison), but where you're going.
Powerfitz.com is pushing forward into 2010 with new goals and ambitions
for the brands that fall under the Powerfitz umbrella. Nitrousfitz,
Over and Out, PartyLetter, PowerLetter, and the Holiday Letter are
going to be updated and monitored throught the rest of 2009 and into
the future.

Current trends for Powerfitz fall into the 'Social
Media' category. Now, the author of all these blogs can be followed on
Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/fuzzywashere
The hope that as more and more fresh content is added to the blog rolls
of Powerfitz.com, new friends will soon follow. The most promising
output has come from the Wordpress blog hosted on the server of
Powerfitz.com 'Over and Out'. The renewed focus on this platform, and
the Facebook interactive, will motivate the author to produce even more
content, reports, and stories for the fans of Powerfitz.com and the
blog roll generated from Powerfitz.com. I recommend that my new friends
register as a user for 'Over and Out' to be able to interact and recommend directly with the author.

The news goes like this:

First,
the latest Division 4 NHRA Sportsman event for TS46 and TD4200 was less
than fruitful. Both entries were out of the competition after the first
round, and due to the resulting points standing, TS46's season is over.
The bright side to this uneventful event is our Super Pro entry SP4550,
driven by Mrs. Walsh. She stands 4th in points for her track bracket
championship, and a trip to the Division 4 bracket finals in Ennis, TX
will be her opportunity for an invitation to Pamona in the winter.

Once
the bracket finals are over, Houston raceway Park will be making up two
different bracket races, including a double points race which could
push our SP4550 into the top point position going into next year. Leave
the driver a comment or a 'Way to go' by typing out a couple nice words
below this post.

All drag racing should wrap up in November with a Thanksgiving race at Pine Valley Raceway near Lufkin, TX.

The
social media side of Powerfitz.com continues to see a large jump in
followers, friends, and comments to the content we produce. Facebook,
Twitter, and the Wordpress blog 'Over and Out' are being viewed by
thousands of visitors daily. Look for a re-organization of Google
Adsense listings and a better ROI after the latest updates to the site
and blogs.

Welcome to eveyone who finds this news fresh and
ready to duplicate. We recommend you leave us your thoughts so that we
can come and see what you're doing, and how we can join forces into the
future. The news is good, and good news is what we like to produce.

The News is Getting Better. The Economy is in the Dumps

There is no better time to get ahead. As the economy sinks, the smart worker will find the new ways to keep money coming in. As one of the first employed workers to lose their job in March of 2008, this guy did not waste the time given to learn a new way to earn income from my computer. Now that most of my marketing is done through the articles I write, I am also able to now earn more money than I was at my old job.

No fancy membership or training got me to where I am right now. Where am I you ask? I am here, writing an entry into one of my blogs becasue all my articles have been finished for today. I am writing this to let you know that I can help you find publihers who will accept and pay for your articles. No special experience or knowledge is required. Did you know that the average grade of writing that is most acceptable is at a sixth grade level? If you can hold an intelligent conversation with your friends, you can write an article that will earn you money. Let me give you some insight in how I am making $600 a week working 30hrs. Add an extra 20 hours of extra work and I can produce an average of $900 a week. Not bad for me, maybe enough for you too. If so, let me know at awewriter@gmail.com. Leave a comment or get intouch with me on Twitter @awewriter.

I'll be back to check on you soon.

What happened to @armano?

An interesting thing happened to someone I follow on Twitter. @armano has been a favorite of mine because his design features are fresh and compliment what is happening online right now. Using his experience in design and social networking, he has cultivated a following of expectant friends and fans.

Recent events from the posts of @armano have been unexpected, and show how hard it is to do something good in front of a large group of people. The two sides are represented by those who see his actions as so above reproach that any criticism is blaspheme and those, like me, who see a weakness in not doing what we do best. @armano does great presentations and creative, I do not think though that a foray into philanthropy did him any favors.

I am not charitable. As a small family, we donated under $100 last year. We did though, offer our time to a number of church, school, and family needs that without our help would not be able to benefit from our good deeds. So take away the money, or in this case, start asking for money, and I immediately look at the participants, the reason, and the promotion.

Using Twitter, Facebook, and his own personal connections combined with a method for donation, a sum of money was raised to help a deserving family threatened by domestic violence and/or abuse. A spouce and 3 children (one with downs syndrome) have no where to go. My man @armano and his small family decide the time had come to help, and @daniela was the one they were going to help.

Creatively successful @armano was successful and his goals achieved. Right? Heck no, he's dealing with reprecussions of the action (even though the cause again is irreproachable) and in an effort to control what percieved damage there may be, he went ahead and posted his last post (not the way to end what he started). In it he describes what has happened, gives links to the relevant information when asked, and informs those who may read how unprepared he was and unconscious to the ramifications prior to beginning the effort.

It looks like @armano has had to take a hit to his reputation while trying to do the right thing. Consider that with a proper plan and exit strategy, it would have been a leading example of how to do what he wanted to do.

Something that added to my inability to see this as a success was @armano now responsible for 5 children in bed at his house. Devotion and emotion should not be coupled with responsibility where the responsible parties seem to be no where in sight.

Do what it is you do best and let others take advantage of your gift. Changing direction suddenly requires an expertise in change that only few of us can muster.

The Social Bookmarker

The Internet is still run by users. I'm a user. You're a user. What we do when we are "using" continues to be influenced by the latest trends in search results and what others are using when they go online. If you asked me five years ago how to find things online, I would tell you to insert a phrase into Yahoo's search engine, and pick through the results. Not any more.

I wonder how long it would take for me to say the word "social" when talking about the Internet today? Not because I like the word, but because the Internet has suddenly become a viral social environment where everything is "suggested" and "recommended" rather than "resulted". The good ole days of search engine dominance is going away, and you can see that in the multiplying numbers of online social networks and social network "users".

You want users. I want users. We just don't want to be used. That paradigm is how search engines are going to be less relied on when consumers go looking for information online. Search engine results are only results. It takes more than a good web designer to turn visitors into clients because these new clients want your designer to be available when they need them. Not only should you be prepared to describe your message statically, but your message now needs a life of its own to be truly a viable product.

The average online session is increasing while the time spent on business or shopping sites is down. This is a direct result of social networks that are retaining the dominant percentage of time spent at one location, while the number of links to outside sources from social sites is increasing dramatically. What this statistic shows is that while people spend more time on the social site, they are clicking through and making sales using recommended links offered through their network of friends on social and bookmarking sites whose networks have exploded in numbers in 2008.

One way to give your message a voice is by presenting your message socially. If you are not going to develop this now, you will have to in the future. Where the online community goes, so goes all the business that can be retained from those users who continue to alter the way they interact with the Internet. It is our experience that more online visitors will be using social sites to communicate with friends and colleagues while they click through recommended information linked to the network through social bookmarks.

Now that you know a little more about where the Internet is going, we hope that it has helped show how you should be taking advantage of this trend. That sounds simple right? It actually is, but for many website owners, the use of social bookmarks is not being utilized after an investment has been made to create on online information source from which to spread a personal or business message.

The New is Definitely NOT the old!

http://www.designer-daily.com/

Monday, October 27th caused me to interact with designer-daily, so I took the opportunity to write a post about my favorite new design.

It is not the old standby that gets my emotions and creative juices flowing anymore. Internet design is something else though. My natural attraction to visual stimulus is easily placated, but my need for updated information controls the impulse to whittle away hours on useless sites. The internet is not new to me.

Back then I created a pack of carshows to give myself something to write about. Something my fans would need to plan their schedules, something to get them there. Not anymore. Now my visitors will dive into my information for exactly what they want. They'll even bring it with them if I recommend that the best way to get something back, is to become involved. And we don't even have to be friends.

Now it seems I'm just so many seconds behind my friend who just posted something online. But this is about design is it not? What design is my favorite? where you can find me duplicating and visualizing what excites me about that present form of information. Am I interacting, am I reading, am I finding out something new...new..new..new?

It's like sending out a scout plane to search for new land masses from which to grow a new base. My empire is only as big as the land I build. Tools of expansion? Words. I may use less voice but my words are growing into streams of information. Take the best features of design and build something to put words into or pull out of, and the new design of the internet is old again. My new design features excellent writing with instant interaction while traveling around to various locations online. Stop into The Internet Buddy System and pick up a friend to surf with. Recommend together. That's my new, I wonder how long it will be before it's not just and idea anymore?

Now that I've given myself a moment to write a random thought down, I'll tell you what my new favorite design is. It's the shared desktop Symbaloo. I found it on a scouting mission to Social Marker. A new landmass from which I can place all my new news. Do you Symbaloo? Fully integrated shareable desktops perfect for my attraction to visual aspects of great design features. Because I need to access quality information to digest and report on, I will have plenty of reasons to discover if this recommendation is warranted.

The NETTER REPORT Vol. 9 2nd Edition

To be successful growing Powerfitz.com and our vision for it, the work has been multiplying as we look to take advantage of the holiday seasons this year. While the months fly by, we are including new content and connections from which to deliver our news to. All blogs are being regularly updated, as is the Powerfitz.com homepage. Set up like a blog, the new format for Powerfitz.com is to keep our visitors updated on what is going on in our internet world.

Team Nitrousfitz just completed the 2008 NHRA drag race season. Now that the focus is on the holidays, we are attempting to add 50 new products each day. After completion of the Halloween Costume campaign, we will be doing more winter tires and Christmas products. 2009 will see more auto parts as the new NHRA season opens, and throughout the first 2 quarters of 2009, we will be adding over 3000 new information sources linked to one of our revenue sources.

What the NETTER report was designed to do is offer some insight into what brought us to where we are, and how we develop a winning plan which relies on our own development of friends and recommendations to make us successful.

Look for training opportunities in 2009.

You can sign up for THE NETTER TRAINNING CAMP at powerfitz@powerfitz.com. Please enter that as the subject of the email, and I will handle the request accordingly.
