    I don’t think so we could reach $100 per month.

    Unless the writer is hard working and persistent.

    Lets say that 1000 words post earns 33 cents, if you can write 10 posts of 1000 words , then it is possible…

     

    33 cents x 10 posts : $3.30

    $3.30 x 30 days: $99

     

    But how many of us could write 1000 words per post???

    • I have a Twitter account dedicated to foodies and food lovers. Tweeted this! 🙂

    • Yes, it is a nice and easy recipe for the readers and domestic women. My mom makes it as I will describe it easy words but I do not like it because its taste I do not like.

      Ingredients

      1 cup organic vegetable broth
      1/2 cup fresh orange juice
      1/2 cup dry rosé wine
      2 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence
      2 tablespoons olive oil
      1 tablespoon olive paste
      1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
      1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
      4 garlic cloves, minced
      1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, cut into 8 (3/4-inch-thick) slices
      3 small eggplants, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
      3 small zucchini, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
      1 Vidalia or other sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
      1 large red bell pepper, cut into 8 wedges
      4 small tomatoes
      Cooking spray
      2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
      1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
      1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
      Preparation

      1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

      2. Place first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook until slightly syrupy and reduced to 1/3 cup (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat; cool. Stir in olive oil and next 4 ingredients (through garlic).

      3. Place tofu and vegetables on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Brush half of juice mixture over tofu and vegetables; grill for 4 minutes. Turn tofu and vegetables over; brush with remaining juice mixture. Cook for 3 minutes or until vegetables are golden brown and tender.

      4. Combine basil, parsley, and thyme. Divide vegetables and tofu equally among 4 plates. Sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon herb mixture.

    • I love vegetables. It is not only delicious but it is really good for our health.
      It is a good diet to maintain our body health.

    peachpurple wrote a new post, Oats and Nuts Teabread Recipe 7 years, 9 months ago

    This morning, I just found an old scrapbook recipe that I had cut and pasted recipes from newspapers and magazines.

     

    One of the bread recipe that I had always wanted to try out is Oats and Nuts […]

    • It is a good and delicious recipe for the readers but in different countries it is different. I like it most.Here’s an excellent method for making oatmeal overnight in the fridge. A lot of overnight oatmeal recipes have a raw oat flavor that I don’t care for, but these oats are made with a hot tea/milk mixture that eliminates that raw taste.

      I love the convenience of being able to serve freshly made oatmeal on a busy morning without having to stand at the stove, cooking and stirring. Simply pull these out of the fridge and eat them cold or, if you prefer, zap them in the microwave for a minute or so.

      cou1 c. plus 2 tbsp. flour
      3/4 c. sugar
      1 tsp. salt
      1 tsp. soda
      1 tsp. baking powder
      1 tsp. cinnamon
      1/2 tsp. nutmeg
      1 c. quick cooking oats
      2 eggs, beaten
      1 1/4 c. applesauce
      1/3 c. vegetable oil
      1/4 c. milk
      TOPPING:
      1/4 c. brown sugar
      1/4 c. chopped nuts
      1/4 tsp. cinnamon

      Sift dry ingredients together in large bowl. Stir in oats. In another bowl, mix eggs, oil, applesauce and milk. Stir this into dry ingredients and then pour into a greased and floured 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle top of loaf with brown sugar, nuts and cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutesntries its making method is different as in my country.

    • I think it will be tasty sure because it looks nice on the plate. But my sister makes it so at home lat Friday she made it in the evening meal.
      Wash the fish head or fish steaks and pat dry. Keep aside.
      Heat oil in a wok or saucepan, add curry seeds mixture and ginger and stir fry over high heat for two to three minutes till the seeds pop.
      Cool slightly then pulse in a food processor to create the paste.
      In the same wok or sauce pan with the remaining oil, add garlic and stir fry till lightly browned.
      Add the curry paste and stir fry till fragrant and cooked.
      Add the onions and stir fry briefly for about one minute.
      Put in half of the coconut milk, bring to a boil, remember to keep stirring to avoid curdling.
      Add the fish, cook for 10 minutes before adding the remaining coconut milk and the tamarind juice.
      Add the tomatoes, red chilli, green chilli, curry leaves, salt and sugar.
      Simmer gently for about five to eight minutes or until the sauce is thickened to a desired consistency and the fish is cooked through.
      You may add more liquid if there is not enough gravy.
      Serve with steaming hot rice.

    I had started to write online since 2009.

    One of the oldest website I had published my recipe articles was Hubpages, which was my first attempt to write online and surprisingly, I had been earning money from […]

    • The 4th reason is that if you lose your content because the site disappears or your stuff vanishes from that site and you didn’t save a backup copy … maybe you can find it via the Wayback Machine. That’s a site that apparently saves old stuff! I found two of my Squidoo lenses there. I was so happy because those two articles were inspired by my daughters. I thought I had lost the content forever! I republished the material at my BlogJob blog. But you need to know the URL or even a portion of the URL to be able to find your stuff.

    • In past around 2011 there are many big pages but most of them use their pages just for fun but now in 2015 where Digital Marketing is the back bone of Online Selling and earning. Facebook Advertising is expensive for small business and website owners and there is no guarantee will you get profit or not for these advertisment that’s why Some People come with great mind and made some FACEBOOK ADVERTISING NETWORK. these networks are rising day by day because Present Facebook Advertising is much expensive

      Let’s explain you what is these networks and how its work.

      Suppose you have a big Fanpage with 1 Million likes then probably you want to earn some money [bcz everyone loves money :p]

      First you need to join these network after that Network provide you a tracking link+Tagline+Description to share on your page.

      Facebook will only generate you money when you have good number of followers. And also you have to be smart about what content you’re sharing and how many times you’re sharing. Because Facebook has strict policy for sharing of links and pages get unpublished because of that.

      Rizwan answer was apt that you can earn from some sites which pay for traffic, this amount increases to Rs 250-280 per 1000 clicks for US traffic.

      The good way though is develop your page first, make your page big, have a site or blog and use adsense to earn. It’s a long term thing and your pages will be safe and you will earn multiple times than before.

      On Whatsapp it’s mainly for app downloads or call this number if you want to help. Such type of messages are for either increasing database of get user to a mobile app. (Can’t say how much they get paid for this)

      You can also use Instagram to earn, it’s trending and it’s good money. Nowadays most of the girl are trying this.

    • i just commented in other post taht social media dont work really the way they suppose to, they are false to some limit, i got views almost as much as i dont post in social media, and that tells me no to waste my time on sharing while i cna writ emore post to get more views here and in other sites too, finding the keyword is the key to good posts, and also of course finding the perfect words. that would take most of you time and not time to really share in those false media links

      • It is true I tried many social media but the benefit from views are so low so, i prefer to write posts and hope teu find it online, as sure they will but may take longer, its not i dont want to share, but sharing takes long time and the money for it is so low, commenting and posting is better, that is why i like literacybase
        and thanks Mangoh for the posting reply, its true and that is what happened with blogs that did at the past, i spent long time to write and share and invite and sthis and taht using Facebook twitter

    • Making healthy food choices is a smart thing to do — no matter how old you are! Your body changes through your 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond. Food provides nutrients you need as you age. Use these tips to choose foods for better health at each stage of life.

      Meals are more enjoyable when you eat with others. Invite a friend to join you or take part in a potluck at least twice a week. A senior center or place of worship may offer meals that are shared with others. There are many ways to make mealtimes pleasing

      Learn to recognize how much to eat so you can control portion size. My Plate’s Super Tracker shows amounts of food you need. When eating out, pack part of your meal to eat later. One restaurant dish might be enough for two meals or more.

      Foods may seem to lose their flavor as you age. If favorite dishes taste different, it may not be the cook! Maybe your sense of smell, sense of taste, or both have changed. Medicines may also change how foods taste. Add flavor to your meals with herbs and spices.

      Don’t take a chance with your health. A food-related illness can be life threatening for an older person. Throw out food that might not be safe. Avoid certain foods that are always risky for an older person, such as unpasteurized dairy foods. Other foods can be harmful to you when they are raw or undercooked, such as eggs, sprouts, fish, shellfish, meat, or poultry.

      • You are right about food being the main cause health or ill health. There are so many issues that we need to keep in mind and you have highlighted the very well.

    • The red rose began its illustrious symbolic history in Greek and Roman iconography, where it was tied to Aphrodite, or Venus, the goddess of love. Later, in early Christian times it became associated with the virtue of Virgin Mary.

      By the time Shakespeare rolled around it had already become a poetic standard that he, and later Gertrude Stein, both famously played with in their works. Throughout its long, storied history, the red rose still reigns as the ultimate symbol of passionate affection.
      Rose is the king flower all over the world and I like it most because its smell is delicious and fine entrancing men’s wit and wisdom. What’s more classically romantic than red roses? Almost everyone knows (or should know) that a brilliant bouquet of red roses is the perfect way to declare feelings of romantic love. Whether in celebration of an anniversary, wedding,

      Valentine’s Day or even National Romance Month (August), there is no mistaking the implication of passion, desire and above all, love, associated with red roses. So, how has the red rose become what it is known for today?

      It’s probably safe to say there’s no more prevalent or enduring symbol of love and beauty in Western culture than red roses.

      Red roses often appear in poetry, literature, classical artwork, contemporary films and everywhere in between. Renowned Scottish poet, Robert Burns, compared his love to a red rose in the poem Red, Red Rose, and the card “soldiers” in Alice in Wonderland lost their heads for painting white roses red, just to name a few classics.

      These fragrant blooms come in varying shades of red, which also carry different symbolic meanings. For example, a bright red rose signifies romance, while burgundy means a love that has yet to be realized.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, Old Clothes Never Die They Just Fade Away 7 years, 10 months ago

    The fashion industry believes in change in trends. What is in fashion today will be gone tomorrow.  And those who follow fashions will go for new clothes, stacking the old clothes in cupboards not to be seen or […]

    • I think giving the clothes which we do not use to some others is not good. When they are not suitable and good how is it reasonable to expect others wear those clothes? They too have desires to wear new clothes. So, generally, I do not give them to anybody. At the most, I give them after using for about 9 or 10 washes. If my conscious does not permit I tear them off into small pieces and use them for cleaning the floor . I also advise my children to follow the same principle. Am I correct guys?

      • Years ago, as children, every year we took clothes we no longer wore and gave them to the poor. This continued into adulthood. Then, there was the reaction that you have expressed, where people who needed clothing acted as if they deserved brand new designer things. That led my best friend to burn her clothing, and me to put them in a bag and sit them in the garbage.

      • Giving away good old clothes to those who can wear them is never considered to be insulting them. How many rags do you need to swab the floor. Also synthetic material is not good for swabbing. It is not absorbant

    • Yes, old men and women and clothes never die but fade away their colors just to take place the new clothes. There are shirts here and shorts and winter coats and summer dresses and kiddie underpants in piles so high they would cast a shadow over Shaquille O’Neal.

      There are bales the size of small sedans filled with leather coats and polyester stretch pants. There are open-topped plastic barrels overflowing with red flannel work shirts, faded denims, evening gowns in rainbow sequins. Strewn, tossed, toppling, pancaked, inside out, jammed onto forklifts — everywhere you look there are clothes.

      The warehouse in question is in an industrial park in East New York, Brooklyn. This is not a neighborhood that equates in most people’s minds with the words ”major fashion center.” In some ways this place would seem to be the last destination.

      It is where many clothes apparently go to die. When you’ve finally cleaned the closet, given to the coat drive, made a deposit at Goodwill, the Salvation Army or those big red St. Vincent de Paul Society Dumpsters parked outside suburban supermarkets, your clothes will very likely wind up here.

      But, far from ending their useful time on earth, they are destined for resurrection. Someday in Burkina Faso, someone will be wearing those old Liz Claibornes to which you finally gave the heave-ho.

    • The fashion industry only changes trends so they can make money but they never really do too many things that are new and different. My later mother used to say clothes never went out of the style. They just recycled the garments under a new name. My late aunt used to take good care of your clothes, keep them for years and don’t worry you’ll reflect the fashion trend … again! 🙂 When I was in high school my friend came to school wearing a really nice dress. I complimented her on it and she said: “Thanks. This is one of my mom’s old dresses I found in her closet.” I could never borrow my mother’s clothes or my sister’s. We were never the same size. 🙂

    • When fashions change old clothes get stacked away never to be worn again unless get back into fashion. In my case some have come back and I am waring them but space constraint is always there.
