Another Day, Another Dollar

Right now I am having a torrid love affair with Seed. I am snatching up some pretty easy assignments that are being purchased and they take me no more than 15 minutes each to write, proof and submit. I have mu last Shopping and Fashion FC assignment to write tonight. I am just stuck between two ideas that I may end up combining or doing one for AC and the other for *plug time* SJP Fashion News Updates.

While I decide I wanted to share a cute and funny Youtube video some freelance writer buddies of mine posted on Facebook today. It is hilarious and I have been singing it proudly all day driving people batty! So I hope you guys enjoy this song as much as I do. If you ♥ it, sing it at the top of your lungs so the world, maybe the neighborhood, will hear you!

Unemployed? SEED Needs Your Story

Seed.com is looking for stories from unemployed individuals. The pay is $50.00. If your story is accepted you will be paid the $50.00 and have your story published on AOL Jobs.


ASSIGNMENT NAME: My Unemployed Life

Site: AOL Jobs


Reporting needed:
No, requesting personal stories. However, please back up claims with examples and statistics. For example, if you claim “DC has the highest unemployment rate…” back it up with figures.

Writing format and style:


o Please be opinionated, informal, playful, succinct and conversational (imagine you are telling your story to a group of people at a social gathering).

o Avoid superlatives. Instead of describing something as "wonderful / horrible" paint a picture of the "wonderful / horrible" situation with details (in other words "show" don't "tell"). 


For full details, signup at Seed.com and claim this assignment which ends September 9, 2010 12:00am, EDT

New Freelance Writers Page!

Starting Your Career As a Freelance WriterThe Associated Press Stylebook 2009 (Associated Press Stylebook and Briefing on Media Law)I just added a new page to Caramelde for freelance writer business websites and freelance writing resource sites. If you know of any resource sites you'd like added just provide the link in the comments section and it will be reviewed (I need to make sure it is not a scam site). Also, if you are a freelance writer with a freelance writing business website, send me the name, link and your slogan (if available) and I will add it to the page.
