Earn More Blogging with Dragon Naturally Speaking Software
I would like to introduct to you, a video, followed by a guest blog post regarding earning more money blogging with Dragon software. And once you are all done, you can enjoy a discount on the products.
“Nuance is allowing us to offer our readers a 25% Discount Coupon CODE Exclusive for Dragon Naturally Speaking, but you must click the image below and use this code (DNSMSBG) Together. Code will not work from other sources”
This is an excerpt from a white paper discussing how bloggers can earn more money through several different monetization and freelance writing services. It shows that bloggers that utilize Dragon Naturally Speaking can earn more money through these various services and how fast these extra earnings will pay for the software itself.
Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Blogger Break Even Analysis with Average PayPerPost EarningsBasically, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can help you type so much faster, that you can earn a lot more money per hour.
In this article I’m going to walk you through another scenario focusing on how much extra you could earn if you wrote for PayPerPost.com and you had a single average blog. Now at PayPerPost.com, the amount of money that you earn for your writing is not paid on a per word basis.
PayPerPost.com offers up opportunities, they call them opportunities, but you can also think of them as piecework or a job, and these “opportunities” typically have a minimum word count. The minimum word count is typically 200 words for your average article. In general the average article at PayPerPost on a high earning blog pays about $8.3. Sometimes they pay a little less, and sometimes they pay a little bit more, and a few go to extremes on the positive side.
Now if you are paid $8.3 to write a 200 word article, then that breaks down to about 4.2 cents per word. That is about 6 times more than what you can make at textbroker.com. I mentioned that only for comparison purposes, because PayPerPost.com limits you to writing three articles per blog per day.
That means that you cannot write at PayPerPost all day long for your single blog. (If you have additional blogs, you might be able to write additional articles on those other blogs.)
Tip! – You can write your three articles at PayPerPost, write some additional articles without any sponsors in between those articles (as is required), and then write some articles at PayU2Blog, and when the work is exhausted there, you can write some articles at TextBroker.com! The trick is working for the company that pays you the most first, then moving on to the next highest margin provider, over and over again.
You will see in the case studies with Adsense that writing MORE articles is actually good for building traffic to your blog!
But if we assume, just to have a comparison to our textbroker.com example, if we assume that you could type articles at PayPerPost for fifty minutes straight, earning 4.2 cents per word, and you could type 35 words per minute, you could earn $72.88 dollars per hour at PayPerPost. Now obviously, you cannot take 9 articles on a single blog in a single day, but this does point to the rate at which you can earn things with the work that is available. That $72.88 would be the earnings you could make from about 8.8 Opportunities at $8.3 per Opportunity.
So bear with me again with this example.
So what can faster typing skills do to help you earn more money at PayPerPost?
Well if you could type at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and you currently type at 35 words per minute, then you could earn about $239 per hour more! (Dragon only costs between $99 and $199 remember!)
Reminder – This would assume that you could type articles nonstop at a hundred and fifty words per minute for fifty minutes. For most of us, that doesn’t mean a whole lot.
But to put this in better perspective, if you earned $72.88 from writing about nine articles, and those articles were each 200 words long, then you would have written a total of 1800 words.
• 1800 words can be typed and 50 minutes at 35 words per minute
• 1800 words can be typed in 12 minutes at 150 words per minute
Dragon NaturallySpeaking can essentially save you 38 minutes when you write nine articles.
Now with those additional thirty-eight minutes, you can spend more time:
• promoting your blog,
• networking with people,
• researching other projects,
• taking on other work from other networks
• build up a new blog to command $8.3 per article!
• Go write some articles for PayU2Blog
• Go write some articles for TextBroker
• Go write some articles to bring in more traffic and earn more money through Adsense!
You can pocket your $72.88 from twelve minutes worth of work. You can then spend the rest of that hour, working to ensure that the blog you publish those on performs very well. But the point is this, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can save you so much time, that it will pay for itself very quickly.
Your average part-time blogger will easily pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking with the additional profits that they would earn from using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in less than 1 hour worth of blogging through PayPerPost alone.
Plus just think of all of the time, that you would now have to make yourself and your site even more successful!

Yahoo Pro Football Pickem Week #13
This week I got my picks in one time, by about ONE minute! I just cruised through them because for some reason, I forgot about the picks after I made my Turkey Day picks. So, this week didn’t look too bad, but I am not really sure about some of the spreads.
- Bal. vs Cin has a 7 point spread and I hate the 7 point spread! It can go both ways too easily. None the less I went with Baltimore and I will have to cross my fingers, since they are NOT at home.
- I also went with the New York Jets because I am confident in the team, as well as, Brett Farve. The spread is 7.5, but against the Broncos, I’ll take it this time.
Those are really the only two that I am eyeballing this week. It is a nice breath of fresh air from last week when you couldn’t count on all those points if you saw it in a dream, or John Madden told you it would happen.
Good luck this week, I am off to check out my progress.
Nikon Offers Kickin’ Hunters Package
Even though it is after Black Friday, I wanted to mention the Nikon BDC Slam Hunter’s Package. The Black Friday promotion is presented by Nikon Sport Optics, NikonProGear and NikonHunting.com. With a special presentation by Lee & Tiffany Lakosky!
Their are a lot of hunters here in the midwest and I have a few loyal readers from my area, so I wanted to pass this along to them as well. The package is insane and includes:

AshleyMadison.com Review
You read that just right! According to the website “Life is Short. Have an Affair“, at least, that’s what they say. I am not real sure about this service, but when they had the president and creator of the site on The Tyra Banks Show and that also brought about some interesting comments.
I am not really sure how I feel about the company, but the CEO put it pretty simple. They just created a place where people didn’t have to lie about being married or wanting to be with other people outside of their marriage. He claimed that most people would lie on other dating sites and you really never knew what the deal was. With the Ashley Madison Agency you knew what and who you were dealing with.
I battled with the whole premise of the site, but really it comes down to this; the % of people actually looking for an affair is small. Most users, in my opinion, are just looking to spice up the love life they have with additional people. It sounds much better when I put it that way, doesn’t it?
It only takes a minute or two to sign-up and it’s 100% free to do so. Once I was inside the site, I noticed they have picked a bunch of profiles that matched my location. Not a bad way to start my search. The first thing I wanted to do was update my profile and then see what types of advanced searching I could do on this site.
Advanced search can be done by:
- Profile Number
- Last Time on Site
- Location to You
- Ethnic Background
- What Limits They Have
- Age Groups
just to name a few. So you see, you can actually narrow your searches quite nicely. This will help if you are looking for a specific situation of course. Most couples might just be looking for a “third” and with the AshleyMadison Advanced Search, this is possible.
100% Free? I Doubt It
Well, you would be right. The site is FREE to “join”, but there are a couple of different ways that you can spend money on the site. Buying credits is one way and it can unlock some nice features for you on the website.
- The lowest package (Introductory) gets you 100 credits for $49.00.
- The “Elite” package gets you 500 credits for $79.00 and promotes your status to “Enhanced”.
- The most expensive package they have is the “Affair Guarantee” that gets you 1000 credits and the 100% Affair Guarantee.
Now that might seem like a lot of money, but the benefits with each package are certainly worth it.
- Message any member for only 5 credits! Every message after the first is FREE.
- Get a 3o or 60 minute chat session for 30 and 60 credits, respectively.
- Send AshleyGifts, or virtual gifts, for 20, 30 or 50 credits.
So, even if you went with the lowest package of $49, you could email 3 or 4 users (15-20 credits), send one AshleyGift (20 credits) and have ONE 60 minute chat session. What a steal and all for only $49.
Summary
Overall, I think the site is pretty easy to use and if you are looking for something specific, you WILL find it in short order. The pictures are easy to see, profiles are full of information and some of the features on the site are nice in addition to the site being FREE to join!
Have you joined the site already? What do you think about it? How do you feel about the whole concept of the site?
