Motherhood And Writing - How To Juggle Both Successfully
I have been writing online for HP and for Demand Studios. That way I can write when I want, like when the kids are at school or after they've gone to bed. I am new to HP so I haven't made any $ yet. But Demand Studios pays per article. It's not too much $, but the articles are short so you can do a bunch of them and the $ adds up. They pay you straight into your paypal account. It is definitely secondary income for us, though. If you want more info I have just written a hub about it at
http://hubpages.com/hub/Can-You-Really- … nd-Studios
You can tell I'm new because I don't know how to make a hyperlink.
I suspect that you have this well handled and can offer most of us a bit of advice on the topic. That being said, I am a grandpa so I have no personal experience, however, it would help to be rich and then you can have other people write your articles or take care of your kids.
Ha! Frogdropping, I'm looking forward to reading the answers to this question - it's something I've been trying to do for 8 years now! The only time I succeeded was when I was completing my masters- because I had assignments and deadlines my family understood I needed time to work. Now though, even with the kids at school I struggle to shut out all the other things to be able to sit down and really concentrate on it. It's like sitting down to write now has become a self-indulgent luxury. I hope you get some good answers!
Be looking for it, I just completed it and will post it soon. Thanks for the Idea!!! :-)

I have been pleased with the audience and revenue for my articles on HubPages since joining the site some years ago.I commend the company for creating the successful niche sites at a time when similar sites were folding. My existing articles that moved to those sites have done even better than...

If you freelance, do you write ghost blog posts for clients?I have seen job postings to write blogs and the buyer is paying $5 or $10 for an article.This is for something to post on their own website, supposedly demonstrating their expertise in their industry. Yet they value it so little!Aside from...

How do you write articles quickly?This is a question that I have had burning in my mind for many years now, as I've noticed that I struggle to write a completed 500 word article in less than 20 minutes. So how do the professionals go about this, and ow can I start writing at such a rapid rate?

Or both or neither? Do you do it to make money or do you do it because you love it, because you have a passion for it and for what you write about? Is it a craft or an element to your livelihood? Again, or neither or both? Do you study and implement SEO or do you just write what you feel actually...
