If you’ve got a website, or you do blogging, or you simply do “direct-to-merchant” affiliate marketing, and you wonder why you’re seeing no results for the work you’re putting in, maybe it’s time to restate the obvious: Whatever your best efforts at writing online may be, you’ll see no results without “traffic.”

I’ve been giving some thought — as you can tell from the last few articles I’ve published here — to how I would approach marketing health related products or giving health “tips” on a website. My overriding concern would be that I might give someone bad medical or health related advice, opening them to harm and myself to a lawsuit. So, for what it’s worth, here are some things I would try to do if I were to market diet pills, nutritional supplements, weight loss products, or even personal fitness equipment online:

I’m sure you’ve seen various pitches on various “make-money-online” websites telling you how you can make good money writing reviews for their website or other websites. So, what’s been YOUR experience with such things? Can you make any real money writing online “reviews” of some sort?

I have a question for any readers out there who are screenwriters: What’s the market like right now? Tougher in recent years, or about the same as it has always been? Is it possible for screenwriters to make a living without living in California, specifically in the Los Angeles area?

I know this article may seem to contradict my last article about working with products or services you have an interest in, but think of it more as a “corrective.”
While interest, knowledge, even passion, is valuable for any affiliate marketer, as a writer you have skills that could give you a competitive edge, even if you choose to market something you know little or nothing about.

Insurance, especially health insurance, is a tough subject for most freelance writers (all types of freelancers, actually) to face.
I’ve searched and found free insurance quotes both online and off line myself. But I’ve never found health insurance I can actually afford. Part of that is my health and my age. I’m relatively healthy, but I’m also quite overweight and I’m just a few years from qualifying for Medicare.
