I’ve been considering joining Suite 101 for a while now, after reading lots of comments on different writers’ forums. Some found it difficult to join, some found it hard to get articles through the stringent editorial standards, but most agreed that the residual earnings were much better there than on other sites like Associated Content or Helium.
Well, I took the plunge, applied, and was accepted the same day. I submitted an article the next day. The second day I received notice that my article was “great” but needed a few revisions. Namely:
- Break the paragraphs up – ideally close to 75 words
- Add keywords to the subsection headings
- Remove the few occurrences of 2nd person form (“you” and “your”).
Once I made the changes and re-submitted, within one day the article was published. Now I just have to come up with 9 more articles in the next 3 months, and watch the money start rolling in. That’s a joke. But I will report back here whether the articles do indeed earn better on Suite than they do on the other venues where I’m published.

This site is killer Joe, really good, lots of eye candy!
There is another site that may be better than the one mentioned and easier to navigate, I think. A Triond member, Tracey Parace contacted me, it is:
http://www.examiner.com/become_an_examiner.html
I think they pay much better-something like $7.00 an article, they are stringent but not impossible-I’d just say discrimminating maybe but in a good way.
I am using gum spirits on Lolly’s feet and intend on doing all I can to find out-reading a lot from google right now. I’ll also consult with my veterinarian because I do know that sometimes they give anti-inflamatory meds. The old timers probably did the gelatin thing in the feed because it would harden the hoof and does make sense but I don’t know if it oculd cause colic? Founder/laminitis is usually chronic and the new farrier did say her feet hurt, but the way she goes running and bucking around here-and her being 14 years old, it’s hard to believe.
I just felt like I should have told you for the reason that we both love horses and I was really shocked to hear this news. I sure thank you for your concern and whatever you hear, I would be grateful for any information at this point.
This site of yours has so much to offer and is so interesting to read. I need to do more reading of other’s material and yours is really good-it’s the darn time factor-never enough of it!
Anyway, hope you and the family are doing good, and thanks for being such a nice guy and fellow horseperson! If you ever need to e-mail me, feel free:
