Bunny's Suite 101 Experience

April Goals

2010-03-30T09:30:00.000-07:00

With the disaster March was for my writing, I am going to try to pick things up in April. Here are my goals for April:

• Write at least 10 articles

• Keep this blog updated weekly

• Learn more about SEO optimization, and attempt to reach the $10.00 payout.

Update 3/21/10

2010-03-21T09:30:00.000-07:00

First I would like to apologize to my readers out there that I have not posted an update in two weeks. I had some health issues in the family, so things got a little sidetracked.

I am happy and excited to say that I finally reached 1,000 page views last week. I am currently at 1,362 views. I have only been able to get one more article up, so that brings my total up to nine.

I have currently earned $2.14 in revenue. I really hope I can get back on track and focus over the next few weeks.

Suite 101 update 3/6/2010

2010-03-06T13:37:00.000-08:00

This week I only published one article. My page views and revenue for the week seemed to be doing pretty well.

As of right now I am up to $1.57, with eight articles published.

I am going to start setting weekly goals, and hopefully I can stick to them. I would love to find a goal buddy who could help keep me motivated. If anyone is interested let me know.

My goal for next week is to publish three articles. This is my long week at work, so hopefully I can squeeze in three articles.

My Progress for February 2010

2010-03-02T11:25:00.000-08:00

For the month of February I published six articles on Suite. I wrote articles for different categories and using different SEO strategies in order to see which ones get higher page views. I am still in the experimental phase trying to get a grasp on how to earn revenue on Suite.

Below are screen snapshots for my revenue earnings and page views. I know they aren’t spectacular, but keep in mind that I am just beginning. I also work a full time job, so writing takes the back burner right now.

It is also important to remember with Suite 101 that it takes time and patients to get to where you are earning great monthly amounts. After you reach 50 articles you get a 10% pay increase.

My earnings for February 2010 totaled in at $1.12. This is better than I got in a year with EHow for the same amount of articles.

My Journey Begins

2010-03-02T10:56:00.000-08:00

After hearing a lot about the wonderful opportunity of Suite 101, I finally bit the bullet and applied. I debated for a while if I should apply or not. Honestly, I was just starting to write and I was nervous that I would get rejected. I finally made myself apply. I waited anxiously and checked my email about every 15 minutes, and after several grueling hours I got my answer. I was accepted to be a writer for Suite 101 on January 13, 2010.

After the excitement was over, the reality set in. You have to complete 10 articles every 90 days in order to write for Suite. Panic began setting in. What do I write about? How do I write? Will writing be worth my time?

I sat down and began writing my first article. It felt like it took an eternity to write the first article. I checked and double checked everything to make sure I was doing the best I could. Once I submitted the article to the editor, I waited to see if it would get published. About a day later I saw that my article had been published, and I did not receive any editorial kickbacks.

With the new confidence, I wrote my second article. Wow, did I get hammered on the editor’s review. This article was a great learning experience for me though. I got a clearer understanding of the format and the style that Suite 101 expects. The editor I had was amazing with her advice, and help. After three kick backs, my article was finally approved.

I have now started trying to write more, and brainstorming on ideas. I know there are a lot of people out there who are wondering about Suite, so I thought I would blog about my experience to show others how I am doing. I am a new writer trying to make a good monthly income from writing to help supplement my full time income. I hope that this can give others motivation, and a better understanding of Suite 101.

Hopefully this blog will help those who have questions about Suite, and help motivate those that are afraid of applying. I would love to hear feedback, and share experiences.
