Are there any freelance writers here and if so I'd like to hear how you keep from starving!!! I write for a few places out there but there is not a lot of money there. I'd love to hear if anybody has any great ideas.

I have been writing for www.associatedcontent.com, but as of late I've had some problems for them. I was actually thinking of trying helium and triond out. My problem is I like to write opinion pieces (politics) so I really don't get paid for most of what I write. I wouldn't go to AC, they've been late on paying me and my pay rate has gone down. I was averaging $8-$9 an article, then my last couple (which have been just as good) I've only gotten $4-$5.

I'd love to sent you an invite to Helium if I have your email addy. You won't get rich quick but there is potential there. They offer some pretty cool contests too.

I like to write for associatedcontent. Here you can write an article and submit it for payment. I have had some luck getting published here. If you are a member you know that we get more money for people visiting out article. If you are a member and would like to exchange the names we write under there so we can check each others work out and help each other earn a little money. Here is mine. And if you are not a memeber check it out maybe you might want to join. http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/47316/dawn_grubbs.htm

Thanks for your response. I do belong to AC but the one time I submitted an article they said they couldn't pay for it. I did not know that you got paid more when other people read your work so I will keep that in mind and will definitely check your articles. I will also let you know if I manage to get published there. I have an idea for an article that just might fly. I have one article at: http://www.relijournal.com/Religion/Two-Lives-Forever-Entwined.26588 which is the same way, the more readers the more money. I would appreciate you checking it out.

Did you try hubpages ? It's the best as for me and I'm not even a great writer. See my profile.
