How to Get Paid to Write Articles
This is about how to get paid to write articles for use online.
It is a much easier market to break into than writing for traditional
paper magazines. In fact, if you can write even halfway decently
you can probably make money online by the end of the week.
That may seem like a bold claim, but it really isn't. The
truth is that although you most likely won;t make much money,
you can make some in a matter of days. One way to do that is
to write for blogs that pay you for posts. These aren't even
full articles.
For example, I recently checked out a blog that offered to
pay for posts. I wrote something about some political issue.
I really don't recall what it was about, but I do remember that
it took me about fifteen minutes and it was only about four paragraphs.
I sent it to the blog master and an hour later he had deposited
$8 in my PayPal account. Not great pay, and I make more working
on my own sites, but if a person needed cash they might wrote
a dozen posts like that in a matter of four o five hours.
To find blogs like this, search "paid to post" or
"pay for your posts" or something similar in Google
or another search engine. There are usually a few of these around.
You also can directly approach owners of blogs with samples of
your writing and offer your services.
Elance.com and other sites like it offer a place for people
to post there projects and writers to bid on the work. This isn't
a bad idea if you write fast, but be aware that the competition
is pretty intense. I currently buy 500-word articles for $11
each (I only have time now for a thousand pages of my own material
each year). Hopefully the author is getting $8 of that (I buy
from a service) and writing them in less than 45 minutes.
There are places that sell articles for as much as $40 each,
and seem to be getting it. The difference is quality. These are
still short articles, as is typical online - maybe 600 or 700
words. If you write well and can knock off an eight to ten paragraph
article in less than an hour, you might want to consider directly
approaching owners of websites that obviously prefer higher quality
articles.
The Best Way To Get Paid?
My favorite way to get paid to write articles is to give them
away in free article directories. How do I make money doing that?
They all have a link to one of my websites, where I get paid
for advertising or I sell my own ebooks. The advantage of this
method is that there is nobody to say no to your articles. You
write about anything that interests you and have links to your
site. If readers like what you write they visit and you make
some money. That's the primary method covered in my ebook, which
is advertised below.
