Are there some really good sites that help you write better?

Have a look at the following sites: www.mywriterscircle.com www.mywritingblog.com www.writestreet.com www.writersrelief.com You can also use www.writing.com as a stepping stone for other links. Even though I have not actually used the tips but I do find them useful.

Have you heard about Suite 101? It's an online publishing site like Triond, Helium, Associated Content, Constant Content, but really helps you improve your writing and even provides helpful tips on SEO so your articles get more views, hence, you get more bucks. Writing is both and art and skill, and you have to practice in order to enhance it. So why not try Suite 101? You earn while you learn. Good luck, my friend. Personally, I would advise that you read a lot of Ernest Hemingway. He writes clearly, simply, but effectively. Cheers!

Try Triond it's pay's you to write articles, and it has many options where you can add pictures and stuff =) I'll give you the link =D. $5 minimum payout. Just dont be discouraged in the beginning =)

I know I receive occasional writing tips from ezinearticles.com. It's an article directory and when you join, they'll give you some writing tips to make your article marketing a success.
