Okay, I've heard for a long time that I should be making all of my writing work together for the maximum profit. I never really got what all of those writers meant until now. Here's what I've learned:

Write articles for clients that pay well Use that research to write articles (on a different slant, of course) for residual income sites like Suite 101(the best in my opinion)  Write blogs on subjects that complement the articles and link to the articles to increase the article's traffic Write blogs that complement the subject of the previous blogs to raise the traffic of the blog Write forum posts that complement your blogs and articles and link to them when appropriate

Using this concept you work smarter, not harder, to get residual income, build your

writer platform

and raise your blog traffic. I should have been doing this all along!
