So, how is the challenge going? I thought of doing this challenge but didn’t end up focusing long enough to do it.

This is something more people should listening to. Unfortunately there’s way to many people out there writing content for a third part website. Just a couple of months ago I used wordpress.com to blog about one of my sites and without notice WordPress decided to ban my account.

You are very right. But I do think that hubpages can play an important part in diversifying your online income streams. The problem with putting all of you eggs in one basket is that you are always going to be exposing yourself to extra risk. I try to diversify all of my on-line income streams, as one is always going down. The key is to always be building something else up in its place.

Amy, ditto.

I put most of my work into my own blogs for those reasons. The risk is too great letting someone else own your content.

Same here, Amy… you’re absolutely correct in leading people towards protecting their work. That’s kind of the point of residual income anyway… To do the work once yet get paid multiple times for it.

So thanks as always for protecting your readers, I have always appreciated this about your site. Honesty is rare and this helps so much.

Amy, I agree with you. I currently write on one revenue sharing site (eHow) and plan to expand to HubPages, but I’m aware of the risks in writing on someone else’s site.

To lessen the risk I plan to 1) write on several revenue sharing sites instead of just one 2) save all my work on my own computer so if my account went *poof* I could at least use my content somewhere else and 3) take the best performing subjects from my revenue sharing sites and eventually turn them into Niche blogs, as you teach.

Thanks for the great content! And congrats on all your success!
