Writing Articles

February 4, 2011 8:37am CST
I am interested in writing articles. I started writing articles about a month ago. Does anyone know the best sites that are willing to pay me good money for writing articles? What are your best recommendations and why? Thanks.

There are a number of sites online where you can write articles, as mentioned by our fellow-mylotters. Here is one site you might also want to look at. This is not for writing articles. It is for writing brief reviews on a broad variety of topics. It is well-managed and pays regularly.

I forgot to mention the title of the site. It is "Review Stream".

I write hundreds of articles a year, mostly for residual payments. If you need upfront pay there are places for that, too. While a knowledge of SEO, keyword research, and things like that helps, you can start making at least some money just by writing what you know. I have covered a whole lot of ways to earn money online in http://www.squidoo.com/fifty-ways-to-make-a-dollar-a-day and article writing is the first thing I recommend for making online residuals. While it starts off slowly, after two years and six hundred articles I am making more than $1000 a year in residuals even if I don't or can't work on any more.

It depends on how much time and effort you are willing to devote to writing. There are sites which pay by page views. This means that the writer has to promote his articles and that takes time. There are sites which will buy articles outright. I write for reviewstream because I do not have time nor the inclination to promote review articles. They are easier to write and for a few hours a day, I get regular income. When I get the urge to write other than reviews, or I just want my efforts not to go to waste, I submit articles to triond or shvoong. Triond also accepts all kinds of visual art, and so when I take a good picture, I submit it there.

I have been writing online for more than 1 year. I can say that Triond is the site the only site I am comfortable writing on. I have tried other sites, but Triond is the only one which is hassle free.

There are a lot of sites in the internet that will accept your articles and also pay you some good money. But you still have to work very hard to produce a lot of articles that are search engine-friendly. That means you must have good skills in writing SEO artcles. SEO means search engine optimization. Your articles must be looked by internet surfer and if your articles is viewed by a lot of people that means you stand the chance of reaping internet cash in no distance time. You only need be dedicated to the culture of writings and as times goes on your work will earn you money or royalties. To get a good article paying sites, make use of search engines. There are some writers who have a collections of article paying sites which they have reviewed. As you use the search engine to find article paying sites you will certainly get a lot of them. But the key to earning from your writings still remain - hardwork and dedication.

I write at Triond and Helium. These are both good sites but you need to work at it to make money. Triond is good as it does let you publish articles on nearly every subject and your articles do't need to be long just a couple of paragrapths. Helium is good as it pays you to post and rate articles. It uses pre set article titles and pits members against each other in a ratings battle which members vote it. If you keep your rating score at 5 stars you get a $3 bonus.

well, you can submit them to sites that will pay you for pageviews such as bukisa and associated content. however, i will advise you to keep them in a blog of yours so that you will have more control and the earning potential will be bigger and longer. although having them in your blog will take some time before they earn, but it will be perpetual and you don't lose any right to your works. but if you wish to earn immediately from your writings, then some sites have outright payment schemes such as associated content. goodluck.
