Online writing is one of the growing trend on the Internet as many are jumping in to share their thoughts and knowledges to earn some money. All thanks to the invention of Internet, knowledges are all over the web with a wide spectrum of perspectives shared by people from all over the world.

There are many ways to earn money on the Internet and online writing is by far the most stable and trusted source of online income. It does not promises you something that is too good to be true and it requires some form of effort in order for writer to start earning.

1. Freelance Writing

Freelance Writing is one of the earliest way to earn by providing write-ups or articles. Basically there is ready buyer for a particular article title and all the writer has to do is to provide the article that is according to the stipulation and he or she will be paid on the agreed amount. People providing such service is also widely known as 'ghost writer'. There are two such websites which I personally know that is both trusted and paying. The websites are as follow:

www.getafreelancer.com

www.odesk.com

Being a freelancer has its merits and drawbacks. It earns you stable income if you are being selected to provide the service. But the problem is that freelance writing is quite competitive and you really have to show some of your work as tract record in order to be selected. Further to that, the income is a one-off payment and it is not residual. There is also no ownership on the articles or content produced by you. You are basically working for people.

2. Article Submission websites

As time goes by, many people started to prefer online article submission type of online writing to earn an income. Some of these popular and genuine websites as follow:

www.Helium.com

www.Bukisa.com

www.Shvoong.com

www.Associatedcontent.com

www.Triond.com

Unlike freelance writing, online article submission websites like the above mentioned do not earn you stable income or a fixed rate, the payment structure to writer is primarily based on web traffic which is also known as advertisement revenue sharing system. The host of the writing site runs advertisements on the articles and how much the writer earns will be determined by the amount of traffic driven to the article page. But on the other hand, it actually belongs to the writer and the income is residual. Many people now prefer residual income because it will earn an income as long as it is on the Internet.

3. Blogging / Web Hosting
