Make money from your blog through print syndication

Make money from your blog through print syndication A lot of people ask me how to become a syndicated print columnist (because I am one), and while I was answering someones questions the other day, it occurred to me that this is information that all bloggers can use as a way to make money from their blog. Like publishing AdSense links or using affiliate programs, print syndication will not make you rich, but its another way you can add a bit of money to your coffers. And, even if you dont need the money, you can use print syndication as a publicity tool by getting your blog name and URL in the newspaper so you can attract new readers to your blog. Heres how to do that: 1. Edit your post for print. A column is 600-700 words. This rule varies, but its a safe one to start with. There are no URLs, and unless youre writing an op-ed column, your best bet is sticking to giving people advice they can use. The same stuff that does well in the blogsphere How-tos and lists does well in print. 2. Understand how newspapers buy columns. Newspapers usually either promote a staff reporter to a columnist position, or the paper picks up columns from the syndicates they already pay to subscribe to. If you do get picked up by a paper, it is a risk for the paper, and the first two or three times you will probably be a test column rather than a weekly column. 4. Dont bother with print magazines. Magazine columns are more than twice as difficult to get as a newspaper column. There are fewer opportunities and the pay is often more than double what newspapers pay. Because of these factors, most magazines will not let you syndicate what you write for them they want to hold all publication rights for themselves. Which means you cant use your blog. 3. Dont charge a lot. My syndicated column runs in a wide gamut of newspapers. The large papers pay nearly a dollar a word. The small papers, which are most of the papers in this country, pay less than five cents a word. 4 Self-syndicate. You can buy a mailing list of newspaper editors in your field (e.g. sports, travel, etc.) Each week, send a column with the headline in the subject line of the email. Write at the top of the email that if they want to print the column they should email you for pricing. This is how many syndicated columnists get started. Keep in mind that in this situation the subject line of the email matters a lot. Study the headlines at CareerJournal to get a sense of how to write good headlines for an emailed column. This is slow going, but you can pretty much automate sending your column out every week, so when a paper does run your column, its easy money. 5. Get signed with a syndicate and they do the work for you. This might be your holy grail for syndication. There are three big syndicates: King Features, Creators, Tribune Media. These companies are famous for handling people like Dave Barry and Ann Landers. These companies pick up very few new columnists each year. They only pick up columnists who are already running in ten or fifteen newspapers. And in a lot of instances, you would have to wait for someone to die in order for you to get picked up. Smaller syndicates will pick up writers who are not already well established as print columnists. You can send a place like that five or six sample columns, and ask if they will pick you up on a weekly basis. Then send one blog post each week. 6. Think in terms of publicity instead. For many of you, the money to be made in print syndication is not worth nearly as much as the increased exposure for your blog. Many people offer columns to newspapers for free because its a great exposure. You can ask that in exchange for giving the column to the paper for free, you want mention of your blog in the byline spot where the paper normally mentions the writers book or company. Print exposure is a great way to expand an audience for your blog. I have written earlier about how to get print exposure for a blog via interviews with print journalists. But rather than waiting for a journalist to call you, syndicating is a little more proactive. And when it comes to personal success, it feels better to take action rather than wait.

5 Useful Tips for Getting Past Resume Robots

5 Useful Tips for Getting Past Resume Robots Worried about getting caught up in the ever-more-sophisticated resume robot systems when you apply for a new job? It’s a legitimate concern. Today’s automatic resume checking systems â€" Applicant Tracking Systems or Automated Resume Screeners â€" are becoming better and better at screening out irrelevant candidates to help streamline the hiring process, especially for large companies. But any time you submit a resume online, even if you’re applying for a job at a smaller company, your resume is likely to be run through a robot. So how do you beat the robots so that your resume ends up in the inbox or on the desk of an actual human hiring manager? Its not too difficult, actually. Here are five tips to help you get there: 1. Use contextualized keywords Yes, when it comes to resume robots, using the right keywords is important. But just peppering certain job-related keywords into your resume is no longer enough. The Applicant Tracking Systems of today are especially adept at checking for keywords in context to really get at your qualifications. Here are a few specific ways you can use the right keywords in the right way to get past the resume robots: Prioritize the keywords from the company’s actual job description, but also use related keywords (the names of other companies or brands in the industry, longer keyword phrases, etc.) Use keywords that go with the main job keywords. Think about keywords that relate to the actual job you’re applying for and the skills that job requires, and work those into your resume, as well. Put keywords throughout your resume, rather than just concentrating in one area. If the keywords appear in multiple places in your resume, the robot will be more likely to pass you through because it will show that you have a greater depth of experience in your field. 2. Check for spelling and grammar Resume robots are ever more adept at checking and flagging improper grammar and spelling, so follow the rules here. You may have heard that once you master the rules of grammar, you’re allowed to break them. This might be true when you’re trying for a Pulitzer or writing a novel, but not when you’re creating a resume (even if you’re a writer prone to wordplay). Because resume robots (much like your word processor’s spelling and grammar checker) are set up to detect deviations from standard grammar, you need to stick as closely as possible to the rules you learned in college. Sentence fragments, sentences beginning with “but” or “and,” and other rules that you might break when writing your blog should be avoided here. (Of course, you can use sentence fragments for bulleted lists, but that’s a pretty established convention.) 3. Make connections before you turn in your resume Not sure exactly what keywords and experience the hiring company is looking for? Make a connection with a hiring manager or an HR rep at the company you’re applying to. You may not even need to check with an employer or manager at that actual company, if you can find one in your field who will give you good advice. Ask the contact to look over the job description and your resume, and see how they match up. If the person has hired people in the field recently, they’ll know what types of experience (and which keywords) you should highlight in your resume. 4. Revamp your resume format The traditional resume is listed in chronological order, but this isn’t always the best option for breaking through resume robot screenings. Instead, consider creating your resume with category headings. If you’re applying for a job that requires design experience and management experience, make both of those things headings for new categories. Then, list the specific job experience you have in each area underneath. Here’s another hint: a categorized resume, rather than a chronological one, is also a great way to highlight your best features as a job candidate and to disguise gaps in your job history â€" for example, if you’ve been unemployed for a while or have taken time off to raise your family. Just be sure that you do list your previous jobs and companies in chronological order near the bottom of your resume. 5. Create a clean look and feel It’s tempting to try to make your resume stand out with fancy graphics and a slick, interesting design. Sometimes this is the best approach for those in creative and design fields, but when it comes to resume robots, this is not a great option. Robots actually break down your resume text to feed it through the system, and graphics, pictures, and crazy layouts can cause a complete breakdown. Your resume may not even make it into the system, let alone get past the robots. So if you’re applying for creative jobs that can call for a stand-out resume design, try this. Create two versions of your resume. One should be a sleek, slimmed-down, mostly-text version for the robots. Use it when you apply for a job online. The other can be as funky and fun as you think it needs to be. They should contain mainly the same information, but you can use the second resume as part of your portfolio, load it up on your website, or hand it out in person at interviews. Do you have any experience getting past the resume robots? If so, please share a story or tip with us in the comments. About the Author:  Daniela Baker, social media advocate at the credit card comparison blog  CreditDonkey.com, says that even though it can take a bit of time up front, effectively navigating around the resume robots is worth the effort.

7 TED Talks under 10 minutes long that are bound to inspire you - Debut

7 TED Talks under 10 minutes long that are bound to inspire you - Debut This post was written by an external contributor. Here, Aayushi Sharma lists her favourite short TED talks that give her a quick hit of inspiration. For as long as I can remember, TED talks have been a part of my life. Growing up watching these videos, and even attending a TEDx event a few years ago, has helped develop my perspective of the world. Talks on science, politics, law, fashion and even poetry have inspired me to do the one thing TED talks were designed for spread ideas. However, with pressure of final year, taking on new projects over the last few months, and just general procrastination (hehe, oops), I did not spend nearly as much time as I could have watching such talks. So to stop myself from binge-watching TV and scrolling through Instagram, I decided to spend 10 minutes watching something interesting. Below is a list of some of the videos I watched over the week. These talks, not longer than 10 minutes, have inspired me to try out something new, but have also been great alternatives to procrastinating. Enjoy! Try Something New For 30 Days by Matt Cutts In this TED talk, Matt Cutts talks about trying something you have been just haven’t got around to doing.

He presents an open-source system called You Only Look Once (YOLO) which is able to detect and identify objects in images and videos, in real time. This is an extremely interesting talk for those looking to see how computer vision systems can be used in the future for applications like self-driving cars, robotics and even cancer detection. Meet The Microscopic Life In Your Home and On Your Face   by Anne Madden You cannot see them, but they are everywhere. Tiny microscopic organisms that live in and around you.

Grown-Up Gigs Ellie Scarborough, dumpee-turned-founder of Pink Kisses

Grown-Up Gigs Ellie Scarborough, dumpee-turned-founder of Pink Kisses Betty, the Pink Kisses mascot. Reminds me of Nancy the Ballerina Nurse! One of my clients recently broke off her engagement. While it was obviously heartbreaking, she knew it was for the right reasons and she had a good head on her shoulders about the whole thing. However, she sent me a link to Pink Kisses, a a smart and thoughtful community  who promises to help you get over any guy faster stronger than ever before. I knew I had to pick Ellie Scarboroughs brain (and chastise her for not being there to help me through a major dumpfest in 2005) and find out how she built this quirky, successful, lovable, service-giving (in more ways than one!) business. 1. What did you wanna be when you grew up? I wanted to be a journalist on TV, just like my dad, whos been on air in New York for decades.  And thats exactly what I did: I got into broadcast journalism right after college, and worked my way through several media markets until I hit my goal of landing in a Top Ten market before the age of 30.  For me, that market turned out to be Houston, which is where I was living when a guy broke my heart and, without realizing it, gave me the idea for my company, Pink Kisses. 2. In your amazeballs video, you mentioned that Pink Kisses was born after you realized your recent dumper wasnt gonna come back to ya with flowers so you decided to send them to yourself. Genius! Lots of my readers and clients have a seed of an idea, but the actual implementation is overwhelming. How did you make that seed into a reality? Where did you start? It occurred to me that there wasnt really anything out there online to help a girl like me get through the stuff I was dealing with.  So, once the idea for Pink Kisses started to really take hold in my brain, I started moving forward with it just by talking to girlfriends and seeing if the need was real.  When I realized it was, I started brainstorming all the things I could offer, and then the development stage came creating tools, developing content, picking a name, and buying the URL. Once I started working on it, I never really stopped.  It was zero to sixty and go, go, go. 3. You  offer consulting services, merch, and an array of products (like flowers and action texts!).  How do/did you decide what you want to provide, and is there ever a fear that its too all-over-the-place? Really, the heart of what PK offers can be found in three main things: the Betty Plan (a daily email with action steps and points of inspiration and encouragement), the texts a little virtual product called the Kiss Him Goodbye. In fact, youll see us focusing more and more on these products more in the future. But! No two women are exactly the same, and not all of us deal with stress in the same fashion either. I believe in helping women in all kinds of different ways so thats where the stylist, chocolates and flowers come in. Sometimes we need a little pampering, sometimes we need tough advice, sometimes we need straight-up encouragement, and sometimes we need a taste of all of the above.  Pink Kisses tries to cover all the bases, and now were hosting an online community calle d Bettyville, named after the PK mascot, where women can come share their stories with others who are going through something similar and want to talk about it.  I really want to reach women from every angle and give them the tools they need to bounce back and really find their inner bombshell. 4. Your Press page is as long as my leg. How do you get yourself out there and have the media take note? Ha!  Its true PK has gotten a lot of great press, which has been awesome in terms of helping it grow.  It comes down to working hard and working smart, really. To be honest, I set some lofty goals right from the start and then did everything in my power to achieve them. It helped that my background was in media, so I had connections and skills in that arena.  I knew what reporters and producers needed in order to put their stories together, so I took that old saying work with what youve got and really lived it.  I was incredibly open about my personal story since I knew a lot of women could relate to heartbreak and disappointment, and I think that drew people both the press and the audience itself into the concept right from the start. 5. If you can have your present self give your pre-Pink Kisses self one piece of advice, what would it be? Oh, its as simple as this: in the words of Winston Churchill, Never, never, never give up.
