You can certainly make a part-time income writing online. You can even make a full-time income if you are willing to put in the time and hard work it takes to learn to write well. We should all be helping each other to succeed in a "pay it forward" kind of way. Without help it can take hours and hours trying to find good paying sites for freelance writers.

Beginners should do two things to start their freelancing career. They should sign up for a blog and sign up at a site such as Hubpages or Squidoo where they can learn to produce well written articles. The blog will get you in the habit of writing everyday. The more you write the better you will get at it. The site for writing articles will teach you how to write the type of articles for which you can earn "real" money. Helium's marketplace is the perfect writer's market in which to get your professional writer's feet wet. There are dead lines, however, you can choose to accept the writing assignment or not. It's entirely your choice. The first time you sell an article, it is a feeling of pride you will never forget. The cash is nice too.

For those ready to move on from the beginner status, the first rule is to never depend on one source for your income. Websites not only come and go, but may reduce the payment for articles at anytime. Here are a list of freelance writing sources online.

1. Today.com pays $1.00 per 100+ word blog. You can only get payment for one blog per day, but it's an easy source of income that will add up to $30, or more, at the end of the month. Along with that dollar you will receive an added incentive for each "unique" visit you receive each day. This payment appears to be more than an ad sense payment. So, the longer you are writing articles the higher this amount would be each month. Also, after 3 months you will be considered to have a VIP account and can request a second blog, thus netting around $60+ per month.

2. Onlinewritingjobs.com lists jobs in many different writing areas that you can apply for. Make sure you have taken the time to write a nice, concise cover letter. Also, put together a resume which will highlight any education or experience towards your writing career. This website offers jobs in blogging, website writing, copywriting, magazine writing, content writing and more.

3. Freelancewritinggigss.com lists all types of writing jobs to apply for as well as writing tips, the business of writing as well as other websites to look for writing work. The listing is updated
