There is more than one way to get paid to write articles on the Internet. You can get paid for providing website content, and receive upfront payments at sites that publish your articles. There are ways for you to get paid at revenue sharing websites, and for getting paid by Google Adsense.

◊ Sites that pay you to write articles on the Internet.

Joining a reputable writing site is one of the best ways to get paid to write articles on the Internet. Be prepared to write a great many articles and be sure to maintain a good standard of writing, so your writing income can increase steadily month after month.

Some writing sites pay a set amount of money per thousand page views, so it is important to ensure all your articles get traffic from search engines, and from links at social sites, in addition to being read by other members of the writing community. You can increase your page view numbers by writing a great many articles on topics that are searched for and get shared in social networks.

At Helium you can get paid upfront for articles when you have earned at least one writing star. The more articles you write, and the higher you build your writing score through the rating system, the more you can earn for writing new articles that qualify for payment. When you join in the rating process and regularly rate articles written by other Helium members, you can gain at least one rating star. This will enable you to start earning a direct share of ad revenue from your own articles.

Content selling sites allow you to display brief details of each article you write, so website owners, newsletter publishers and bloggers can purchase publishing rights to your articles. You get paid from your own account at that site, but if your articles do not sell you earn nothing for writing them.
