Life Notes Plus More

Freelance Writer – If you enjoy writing this may be the business for you. The freelance writer I interviewed for this post has been writing for pleasure since she was a preteen, so it’s no surprise that she would gravitate to writing when looking for ways to earn income online.

She recently started a writing service, Eva O’Hara Commissions, that she advertise with ads on Fiverr and Reddit. She prefers Reddit because she can target her ads to densely populated communities. When she compose her ads she always include a link to her writing samples in her Google docs so prospective clients can preview her writing ability. She is an excellent writer and has had no problem converting prospects into customers.

Her fees are in line with most freelance writers who charge a fee for each word in a writing request. The going rate is five cents a word for creative type writing, up to twenty cents a word for blogs and more advance writing. She finds that most of the writing request that come across her desk average two to ten thousand words. She recently accepted a ghost writing assignment that turned out to be 30,000 words. She charged six cents a word but negotiated upon accepting the job, for a flat fee of $1,500 with one half paid up front and the other half upon completion of the assignment. Since starting her business three months ago, she has earned over $5,000.

As her business continue to blossom, she may find it necessary to to hire a virtual assistant or ghost writer to assist her as she continue to scale up and become even more successful.

This freelance writer recently finished writing her first novel using the pen name Eva O’Hara. Her novel is called “The Depth of You”. She is offering it as a standalone on Amazon Books. This novel is an introduction for her forthcoming, and I predict successful, romance collection “Discovering You”. Check it out. (I received no compensation for this post.)

DropShipping on eBay – Dropshipping is a very simple way to earn money. This business is not complicated but it does require consistent effort to be profitable. It is a volume based business.

Dropshipping allows you to sell merchandise without stocking physical inventory. The sales process is done completely online. Some people set up web sites to market their product selections. Others use platforms such as Shopify.

A successful dropshipper name Paul describes how you can dropship without a web site using eBay. When people visit eBay they are usually ready to buy something.

If you would like to sell to them, consider using Paul’s formula. He makes the process seem pretty easy. He says the first thing you should do is go to eBay and set up a seller’s account. It is free to start.

Next if you don’t already have one, go PayPal and set up an account so you can accept payments. This is also free.

Then scan eBay and find an item that is selling well, that you can buy from an online store such as Walmart or Home Depot.

Next go to the online store (Walmart or Home Depot) and search until you find that same well selling item. Look up the completed sales for this item on eBay and mark-up the cost of the one you found to allow yourself a reasonable profit.

List the item on your eBay site for sale with a picture or pictures that you may also find online.

Finally when a customer buys this item from your eBay site, you go back to the online retailer and order the item with your credit card, but have it shipped to your customer.

A day or so afterwards the retailer will issue you a tracking number that you should text or email to your customer.

The difference in the retail cost and your markup cost is your profit. You can list as many items as you like from any retailer you select using this formula. You never have to leave your home office.

I sourced this information from Paul J Lipsky a very successful dropshipper. I plan to try Paul’s dropshipping formula and will share my outcome in a future post.

If you are interested in dropshipping visit Paul’s Youtube channel for more in-depth information. (I received no compensation for this post.)

Start a Free Youtube channel – Friends, have you thought of starting a Youtube channel? I am going to tell you about a content creator that I came across a few months ago while scanning Youtube. Her name is Peach McIntyre.

She is a young woman who grew up in the projects of Florida. She is the mother of six children. Approximately two years ago she was on welfare and food stamps. She was homeless for a short time.

In describing Peach, she is a little over weight, she is very talkative and she likes to curse. If she is trolled during one of her Youtube live streams or asked a question by someone that she finds offensive, she will verbally shred the offender without blinking an eye.

She has had a lot to overcome in her life. Yet within a little over two years through her consistent hard work and laser focus, she has managed to amass over 100,000 subscribers and is now a six-figure life style content creator. Failure for her was not an option. She says her goal is to earn two million dollars this year. If she does not burn out, I bet she will meet her goal.

I think Peach is successful because she is smart, genuine, gives the appearance of being transparent and is not afraid to speak her mind. She believes in a positive mental attitude and manifesting.

She believes in Youtube and often preach about how it can be life changing for her subscribers if they would only believe in themselves and give it a try. Peach is a living example of how you can use Youtube to change your life.

When you visit her channel you will see a lot of film shorts a lot of shopping posts, but the golden nuggets are her posts dealing with starting a Youtube channel.

She is on Youtube, Facebook and TicToc and has developed courses for each platform. She offers classes periodically. During one weekend she held two classes on Zoom that attracted 2,000 attendees. This is the advantage of having 100,000 subscribers to market to. Each of us paid an affordable $35.
