Ms Cyprah

I tend to do quite a few different things in any one day, though I spend far too much time on the Internet. I do enjoy it tremendously and am making my name there so I musn’t knock it. 



Each day I have a set routine as that is the only way I can manage all the sites that I am involved in. I start off with checking my Google Adsense which is linked to various article sites where my work is posted, as well as my own website. Then I go to Google Analytics which track all the traffic to my website and my Newsvine column. It is always fascinating to watch the traffic slowly building from month to month. Like my website which was launched last September with only 150 visitors per month with 220 page visits. Six months on and it has grown to average 2000 visitors and 3300 page views per month. Wonderful to see such real progress and activity in a short time. 



Then I visit MyLot to see what questions take my fancy, and I usually find about 4 meaty ones I can answer which I also use for Helium, if they are really eye-grabbing. Then over to Newsvine and Helium to find out the topics of the day and post articles, do a few seeds and some comments. I try to write at least three articles daily in order to make a living. After I have had a big break, I come back on in the evening and then work on my personal website and any other ad hoc sites I am associated with. I used to post my articles to free sites but that just exploits one’s talent for nothing with everyone copying the articles on their own sites to make money from it. That is not fair and so I only put my items on a few choice sites. 



I see the Internet as an actual place of work for me as I am self employed and my articles seem to be useful to quite a few people and organisations. That gradually increases my reputation. They also give me a lot of satisfaction to write, as well as the chance to network with some great people at the same time on MyLot and Newsvine, for example.
