Copyright Infringement Big Problem as Facebook Ad Fatkini Photo Theft Shows

Blogger Rachel Cateyes is about celebrating fat. The 300 pound woman proudly debuted her two-piece "fatkini" on her blog. That image was stolen by Facebook spam ads for Venus Index and Venus Factor diets. It highlights the big picture with copyright infringement, pun intended. Here's more on how plagiarism and online theft works.

How I Freelance and Manage 55 Blogs

I've been freelance writing online since 2005. I also blog my articles on the 55 blogs I created and maintain, one being this. When I say that I have 55 blogs, someone invariably asks "Pray tell how do you keep up???" Fair question.



1) Freelancing is my job. I write 30-40 articles a week --shorter on sites like Bubblews, longer on paid content sites. Read on for the rest. Writing for the Web 101 How I Manage 55 Blogs

In Favor of Public Breastfeeding, Thank You Mayim Bialik

Mayim Bialek--funny, Jewish, neurosurgeon, Big Bang Theory, Blossom, vegan, naturalista--what's not to love? But that's not my favorite thing. Mayim publicly breastfed her two boys and practiced child-led weaning. She spoke out on HuffPo advocating public breastfeeding. On her Kveller blog, she writes about organic parenting. As a Ph.D, she shares brain and learning helps for parents. Let's hear it for multitasking, nursing moms who love their kids enough to risk public censure.Thank You, Mayim Bialik, for Breastfeeding Voice - News - Bubblews

Make Writing Multitask with Double Duty Articles

I write for several sites and have learned to make writing multitask. Meaning, I write one article and reuse on several sites simultaneously. Here's how to legally and sensibly do that. Read on Writing for the Web 101 Make Writing Multitask With Quadruple Duty Articles

Comment on Bubblews Posts Not Profiles If You Want Interaction

I've read complaints questioning generic article comments. Well, here's my $64,000 question: what about those generic profile comments? I don't mean the initial introductory comment. I don't mean personal, specific comments or questions. In lieu of email, that's the only place to discuss non-article-specific stuff.   Quit the Profile Graffiti and Visit Bubblews Posts If You Want Interaction 

How to Work, Earn Money While You're Sick

I've been writing online since 2005, full time since 2010. I've written for lots of sites and earned enough to quit my subbing job. Like a good IPA beer, each writing site has its merits. What I like about Bubblews is that it's good for those slow days. Like when I don't feel good. I'm tired, achy and fluish. Our temps have jumped about 20-25 degrees (still under freezing). And I'm just superstitious enough to think it woke up the bad germs from their winter sleep. And Bubblews enables me to earn money with "light duty" work.  Writing on Bubblews is Good Sick Day Work

Keeping the Lines of Communication Open Anytime, Anywhere

Our oldest two kids have been out of the house for 5 and 3 years respectively. I don't have texting, so they're forced to communicate the old-fashioned way--smoke signals. I kid, no we have to talk. Sometimes we Facetime, and sometimes just via phone.



Our family is super close-knit. Not weird or inbred or anything. Well, I tell a lie, we are a little outside the box, but in a fun, eccentric way. Just not weird like that. Anyway, I always say the kids channel each other. Because whenever one out of the house kid calls, the other OOTH kid will too. Sometimes at the same time. They know I am available to them anytime, anywhere. I may have to call back, but unless it's unavoidable I will stop what I am doing to talk. Keeping the lines of communication open is my most important mom-job. My Oldest Two Kids Always Call on the Same Day

Mini Workouts for Work at Home Writers, Serious and Silly Version

One of the biggest occupational hazards for online work at home writers isn't writer's block or writer's cramp--it's writer's spread (as in, well, you know, around the middle and bottom?) I've been a WAHM for eight years. And I had the computer belly and desk chair butt to prove it. But not anymore.

Drugfree Arthritis Remedies for Computer Workers

 At 48, I was diagnosed with arthritis in my shoulder. It's spread to the other shoulder and neck. Working all day at a keyboard does not make arthritics any easier to deal with. So how do I cope?



--Lose weight. I have lost over 90 pounds. It hasn't made the pain disappear. In fact, some of my chronic pain is getting worse, but that's from age and sitting a computer every day. But carrying less weight makes exercise easier. I'm more limber, agile and coordinated.  Read on Drugfree Arthritis Remedies for Computer Workers

Whats to do to Get Featured on Bubblews Front Page

I write for Bubblews and posts that hit the front page go platinum. But short answer to how to get there, I don't know just yet. I think I'm latching on though. For most of my time on Bubblews, I interacted on posts from my notifications feed. Then I started seeing high likes and page views on some and found they'd been on Bubblews front page. Having never been featured, I wondered how to achieve that. I analyzed the articles to see what mine might lack or what they had in common. I noticed some things.
