Hello from Lynn

Hi. I am pretty new to Constant Content. I have brushed off my English degree that I got about 24 years ago and have started to write for other people, although I have written web content for my own sites for about 12 years. I just signed up earlier this month. So far, I have sold 2 articles, but I hope to be able to write a lot more. I'm finding it very helpful to read through the forum and blog, and I look forward to sharing experiences with other writers. I hope to get into SEO writing as well, but I don't quite know how to find the jobs yet.

I have a few other projects going also, and my goal is to be able to make a full time income without being tied to one location. This would allow me to travel full time.

Welcome Lynn! I use my CC income to help me afford a nomadic lifestyle. I travel back and forth between Australia, the US, India and Nepal. I haven't been writing as much lately but the nice thing about CC is you can pick it up whenever you like. Nice to see a fellow traveling spirit on here. Where's your next destination? :)

I just love how those sales just roll in as you build up a bank of articles. Build your article bank and you can have sales even when you have no time to write.

Thanks for the welcome.

Antonia, you're inspirational. I haven't started to travel yet, but I hope to do so within the next few months. You'll have to share your experiences and travel tips with me sometime :) Do you support yourself by writing or do you have other income?

I'm trying to build up my articles, but I'm finding that I have difficulty focusing on the article. During the past few days, it hit me that I should write more than one article at a time. I put the title of an article in a word document and add an outline or notes. I can then switch back and forth between articles and add a little here and there. So far, it seems to work. :)

Lynn, in addition to writing, I do have a savings buffer that enables me to take some time off when I need to. I try not to dip into it too much though as it is quickly dwindling! Also, I do some editing for a poet in Nepal, and a few other random little jobs like that as they come along. Then I also have a tiny passive income from various revenue sites and niche sites. I'd like to increase this, but not having a strong passion for internet marketing, I have to push myself to do much in that direction.

I have a blog at http://www.anomadslot.com where you can read about some of my experiences living nomadically.

Oh - writing articles simultaneously is brilliant. I try and do this as much as possible. Anything that doesn't quite fit under one topic goes into another and before you know it you've got five rough drafts sitting there waiting to be edited.
