Hi,
I'm quite new in writing and make money. [b]I am curios, anyone here are making over $500.00 per month for writing articles?
[/b]
I'm making very small amount of money everyday from my articles but I'm quite happy with it.
I hope there are people making over $500.00 per month from writing sites, so that I can have more confidence to keep on writing.

I have not made that amount in one month so far but I do think I shall in future. I am building up my writing work so I shall have a nice monthly income. I only started early this year and so my plan is to have a better income by the end of the year.
You should keep on writing. The more you write, the more you will earn. If you join several different sites you can get an income from all of them. I could not do it from one site alone.
If you have articles at Triond or Helium do you promote them? It can make a difference to your earnings if you do.
I sold an article at Helium and won money in one of their writing contests. If you can do that you will reach payout much more easily.

I have been making about $300-$700 a month. It went down there for awhile because I was sick. Since then I have been seeing it grow each month. I write articles for a huge number of sites. But am very happy watching my income grow.

Hi,
I have visited your profile. Wow, you sure have a lot of programs to make money. [b]How many hours per day are you spending to make money from all those programs?
How to use the Hubpages to make money? Do you think that it is possible to make more than $300.00 per month using Triond?[/b]
I hope to hear from you soon.

$1 is a good place to start as is Triond (especially for International users). I would suggest that you check out my profile. Most of my sites are there and for additional information you can hit up my blog which is also there. It's a lot of work, but if you are willing to work you can make it.

I've been averaging between $500 and $900 per month. I'm hoping to break the $1,000 mark soon.
I write for several sites and I have a couple of websites and blogs of my own that I write on.
I believe the trick is to diversify and write for several sites. It takes a lot of work at first but if you put in the hard work up front, it gets a little easier later on down the line. I'm still in the hard work stage because I want to reach a certain level.
Keep working at it. You'll get there.

No, I'm not using Triond. I use Suite 101, Demand Studios and I have a couple of sites and blogs.
I wrote about making money with Suite 101 here: http://www.nojobformom.com/articles/suite101.shtml
And I wrote about Demand Studios here: http://www.nojobformom.com/njblog/2008/05/31/demand-studios-is-a-keeper/
I like Demand Studios because they pay weekly. Suite 101 pays monthly.

As they say, there's always someone better off and worse off than you. The same way I'm looking up to the guy that's making $7000/month is the same way he's probably looking up to someone making much more than him. You're hoping to make $300/month, I'm looking to make $400/month, someone's probably hoping to make as much as you do, sdas86. It's all a matter of perspective and that's often how we pull each other up to achieve better.
take care...

Hi,
You can look at the number 3 response of this discussion. There is a link.
The owner of the site is making over $7000.00 from freelance writing. It is truly a good way to make money online.
I hope I can make at least $300.00 per month from writing articles.

I haven't in a consistent method but probably is somewhat due to not being able to promote that well. Maybe my writings aren't as interesting or something. I think it can happen, it just takes patience. This has been my 1st year really going heavily on writing and getting items published. If I can get it going, that would be really great.

Thanks, you too. It's just going to take some time. I think it can happen without question or possibly even higher than that. It would really help out and really give out a confidence boost without question. That's just me on that.

I wish I was making that much online from my writing. I hope to. I think I might hit the $300/month mark this month - that would be brilliant!
I'll take each milestone at a time.
Check out this site: www.chrisblogging.com - He's making a hell of a lot more than $500 a month, but I cam imagine that it took many years of hard work to get to that level.
take care...

Hi,
Thanks for your response. The link to the site is great. The person is making a lot of money by Freelance writing.
I hope I can make money like him too. 
May I know which site are you using to make money from your articles? You say that you are going to make $300.00 this month. I hope I can learn from you.

I didn't say I was 'going to', I said I was 'hoping to'.
I use a site called Digital Point forums - I've written about it on my blog.
I should perhaps look for an additional way to look for writing jobs as it's not wise to rely mostly on one method. I'm looking to explore that next month.
take care...

I am not a big writer and very lazy to write. I even don't have a blog until now. So I can't reach that using writing. I just start to write in Shvoong about some website reviews, and don't know if it works. I would like to know some paid sites that does not strict what you write.
