How to make money writing online articles

by Marie Bywater

Created on: April 20, 2009

It is easier than you think to make money online and one of the best ways is to write articles. You will be pleased to know all you need is a computer, internet connection, a functional brain, some great ideas, correct spelling and grammar and you are good to go. Okay you may require one last thing, and that is a list if writing sites to submit your polished articles too. There are a range of different paying writing markets depending on your skills. I will consider sites from the high paying markets right down to the lower paid markets where there is less competition and less chance of rejection.

High paying markets

Constant Content

At Constant Content the rules are very strict and you may have to redo your article several times before it is accepted but the good thing about this site is that you can select the rights to your article and more importantly set your price. Constant Content also offers buyers the chance to send out a mass mail to all authors detailing the type of articles they require plus the amount they are willing to pay. Overall a very good site and one every freelance writer should consider submitting their articles too.

PersonalMoneyStore

Personalmoneystore is a financial site which offers payment for articles concerning ways to get out of debt, debt consolidation and the like. If your article is accepted you will receive $25 in your paypal account. A high payment site, but be warned there is a lot of competition and your articles must be written to perfection. A slight grammatical error or typo will lead to rejection.

TextBroker

Textbroker is an excellent site for those residing in the US, as it pays for every word you write. The highest quality authors earn 5 cents per word, and therefore a 500 word article can net them $25. Write 4 of these daily and you will be earning $100 a day and you will be on your way to an income working from home.

Lower paying markets

Associated Content

Associated Content is a better site for US members as it offers an upfront payment option to those members. For non US the best way to earn is through page views. In order to reach the highest clout, clout 10 and earn $2 per thousand views, you will need 200 articles and 333 333 articles. For members with under 50 000 page views earnings are small at $1.50 for each 1000 views. To make a living from this site you will need to write several popular articles daily.
