If you're an affiliate of Amazon.com you can now take advantage of their new Publisher Studio toolbar.

This is like nothing they've done before because it's a toolbar that you add to your website so that when you view your site online, you can add affiliate links to Amazon products without going to the Amazon website.

All you have to do is log into your Amazon affiliate account, click on the new tab for 'Publisher Studio,' add your website URL, copy and paste the supplied code to every page of your website, and that's it.

Next time you view your website online, the Publisher toolbar will appear at the edge of your screen.

How to Write 1,000 Words

This is something you don't get to see often. A writer actually doing a piece of writing.

And in this revealing and insightful video, you can watch as, in only 5 minutes of time lapsed video, author Scott Berkun writes a 1,000-word essay called How to Write a 1,000 Words.

It's rather fascinating to see how he writes, how he changes things as he works, how he organises his notes and a whole lot more.

After watching it I felt like I wanted to see it again in real time.

It's quite hypnotic to watch so make sure you have 5 spare minutes to watch before you hit 'play'.

3 Fast Ways to Make Money Writing

In an ideal world it would be great to sit and write one best seller after another, and get a movie contract offer for each book.

In the real world, that’s unlikely to happen. And even if it did, the money wouldn’t be instant because books take time to write, especially epic novels. And movie rights take ages to set up.

So, in the meantime, while you’re waiting for your big break, how can you generate some fast money from your writing?

Here are 3 ways you can try right now.

Is Google Stealing Money from Web Site Owners and Cheating AdWords Clients?

I’ve had my own websites for quite a few years now and I’ve always had AdSense Ads on most of my sites to earn a bit of income on the side.

I’ve never earned very much money from the AdSense ads, but the odd hundred dollar payments are nice.

Most of my online income comes from my own eBooks and from affiliate products that I recommend. So AdSense has always been very much a sideline for extra income. I use it because it’s simple to use. I just place a few ads on my web page templates and then let them do their own thing. It was a really easy “set it and forget it” system.

And it worked really well until recently when I started noticing money being taken from my AdSense account. Not only that but the number of clicks kept disappearing too.

So I started to wonder if Google is not only stealing from website owners, but cheating their Adwords clients too.
