If you have good writing skills, you can sell articles or make passive advertising revenue through use of Google AdSense. Here's a review of where to publish online with the important points about each site. Only sites that are free to use were included.

Sell Articles

Textbroker

One good place to start writing online is at Textbroker. This unique site pays just a few dollars for a piece. Although the pay is low, this is one of the few places where you will get paid up front for your work. If your work receives a high rating from Textbroker's staff, you are open to accept higher paying assignments. This site is open to US residents only.

Constant Content

Constant Content is a site that markets your writing. Constant Content takes a 35% commission when your article is sold. You can get $25 to $200 for a 500-word article, but don't expect your work to sell unless you are writing to a title requested by a buyer. Random writing generally does not do well on this site.

Constant Content has a "three rejections and you are out" policy. For this reason, be sure to follow the submission guidelines carefully. Read how other writers are marketing their tiles before you submit so you will have a better chance at success.

Triond

Triond is a site that offers ad revenue sharing. They pay you 50% of the ad revenue your work generates. Articles published on Triond cannot be published on any other sites. In addition, you will have to wait for an editor to review your article before it is published. The turn-around time is not bad, only a few days. Your article will be published on one of Triond's network pages where it will bring in ad revenue.

Hub Pages

Hub Pages is among the top 500 most popular English-Language pages on the web. This makes it a great place to showcase your writing. If your articles are good, there is a frequent stream of feedback from comments and readers, which is very gratifying. You can post articles that include photos, plus add revenue widgets from Amazon and EBay. The site offers several ad revenue streams for you to use on your pages.

Squidoo

Squidoo has been around for several years. It has a fun and friendly atmosphere. Entries you create are called lenses and
