Writing: Welcome to Master Dayton

Master Dayton: Advice for New Freelance Writers

Welcome to "Master Dayton's" blog. This is just the introduction, but in the future I will be sharing all the knowledge and information I've gained over the years about freelance writing to help you avoid the mistakes I've made and get you making some decent money freelancing and helping you to acheive your freelance writing goals, whatever those might be.

There's no snobbery here, and no deceit. I will NEVER offer you "can't miss" advice on any type of writing that I've never done, I'll NEVER reccomend a product that I haven't reviewed and that I don't use myself, and I will NEVER put down someone as being a "noob" or "idiot" for wanting to do something different. There are many types of writing and some people don't want to write technical writing or learn two years worth of marketing to make money with Adsense. Some do.

That's okay. I've done a lot of different types of writing covering the full gamut of writing from creative writing to freelance writing, so this blog will contain a lot of useful information and hopefully something all of you can use. Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to keep coming back for updates!

The Two Most Important Resources for Passive Income
When it comes to the Internet Marketing to make residual income from your own blogs and websites, there are two resources that are invaluable.

The Keyword Academy
The Keyword Academy is the single best resource for making long term passive income online and I think every beginner should start and stop here. You can take the first month for free, which offers full access to all the training videos, step by step e-book, forums, and amazing tools to do keyword research and get backlinks. After that it's $33 a month, and that's really a steal because I wouldn't hesitate to pay $100 a month for what they offer. It's the only membership site you'll ever need.

Host Gator Website Hosting
I only use Host Gator for all my hosting sites, it costs $12 a month for unlimited hosting and I automatically get a backup server: highly recommend!
