I was browsing the AtomicBlogging.com website by Alvin Phang today. It is an ebook I bought sometime back and had to return it because I was disgusted by the content, the poor writing style, the innumerable grammatical mistakes, etc.

I don’t know what it is about today, but since morning I have been browsing many Internet Marketers and their product sites. What caught my attention and thought was the countless “WoW” testimonials in these sites by a known set of marketers who seem to be everywhere.

Freelance writing is not exactly the “easy way to earn tons of money” that some con men want you to believe.

It is a profession, and like all professions, it takes skill, and practice, and knowledge. Not everyone can do it, at least not without some forethought, and learning.

There are basic skills needed to write well, and the spelling and grammar that you learned in grade school are not going to cut it. Most of the writers that I know, (that know what they are doing) have taken advanced English, Creative writing, Marketing, and Editing courses, at least. And those are just the writers who don’t have a journalism degree.

The web is fairly filled with free resources for traders that are of very great value. Particularly if you are new to trading, it is very wise to take advantage of these in order to expand your trading education.

The first I would like to mention is Investopedia.com. This is a website run by Forbes Magazine and is of great use. See www.investopedia.com. Any time you have a question about what a trading term means or about what a particular strategy is, you can visit this website, put the term into its search engine and it will not only come back with a definition of the term but it will usually refer you to a series of explanatory essays written by experts in the field that it has published showing how the term may be used in practice. And this is all free to the user. You can also subscribe, again for free, to its “term of the day” and once a day you will get an e-mail from Investopedia explaining some technical trading term. It covers all trading, not just Forex trading. It is, as its name suggests, an encyclopedia for investors.

It doesn’t cost you a thing to get started learning how to trade the Forex. You need a computer and an Internet connection, which you already have or you wouldn’t be reading this right now. The faster the connection you have, the better, but you can function with dial-up.

The first thing you need to do is get a demo account up and running. Almost every Forex broker offers these. Some of them expire in 30 days and can be renewed as often as you like. But some of them don’t expire at all. These are preferable for learning and experimental purposes. Also, not all brokers use the same type of trading platform. But many brokers, probably the majority at this point, use a platform called MT4 which is absolutely superb. I recommend very highly that you start out with this. It provides a charting package of great sophistication and capability and real-time data from the Forex market and it is 100% free.

The following is a paid review for Smorty.com, a blog for money review service that connects advertisers and bloggers on a common platform.

It begins with the blogger applying for a position with Smorty. The Smorty staff will take a close look at the blog site of the applying blogger. If the site is more than three months old and regularly posted upon, they will hire them. The rules are pretty similar to ReviewMe.com and other services, but what I personally like about them is the number of opportunities they present to you, the processing time for submissions and the fast payment. Paypal is their preferred method of payment. They pay you weekly.
