Get a job in writing

Good news for all freelance writers there are sites who value your writing, whether you are a beginner only completing your first article or whether you are a professional writing 20 articles a day. These sites will pay you depending on the quantity, quality or popularity of your work. The sites that I will consider all pay through paypal and have established a good reputation in the freelance writing world. Even better news is that these sites are all free to join, you just have to sign up and write to your heart is content. Pay rates vary between sites and some sites are better for beginners who want to get their foot in the door and gain confidence whilst others are more suited to those who have already established a freelance writing career.

Triond

Personally I would recommend Triond to beginners. It is where I started and as they payout at only 50 cents it keeps you motivated to continue with your writing until you get that first Paypal deposit. It is a great site for international members who want to improve their English and accepts writing, pictures and audio so you can submit all three and earn from page views. However I feel opportunities at Triond are limited and I do not believe anyone will ever earn a few thousand dollars a month there on a regular basis.

Associated Content

AC as it is more commonly referred to is a fantastic site for American residents as it offers them upfront payments which can be as much as $10 per article. In saying this I think the rates have dropped considerably. They pay around $1.50 for a 1000 page views and this is the only method of earning for international members. On a positive note the low payout of $1.50 is easy to reach on a monthly basis

Helium

In my honest opinion this is the best writing site. I believe established freelance writers here have the ability to earn an income from this site. There are so many channels to write on and with the new upfront, empty titles and rating bonus even more ways to earn more money. Combine this with the large variety of marketplace articles and weekly writing contests and you could be earning hundreds of dollars in no time.

Bright Hub

This is one of the higher paying writing sites but can be quite difficult to get accepted. I know this because I was turned down and given the advice to post in their forums to give me a better chance of being accepted and gain credibility. I possibly will get round to this in time simply because the site pays $10 per 300-750 word article
