Working for writing sites.

So I have been writing short 200 word articles for a site and their topics are driving me nuts, they are complicated in ho you have to work in the titles. You have to use their key words in the title and two times in the article, but sometimes the key words make no sense. You have to use it in their form and even one spelling mistake leads to your bonus being shortened. Now don't get me wrong I love the pay, in 2 days I have made 60.00. Though sometimes they have little if no work for me. My husband works on the same site and he is been having the same issues. Any tricks to making words that make no sense into sentences, how could I research it? Any advise or ideas would help.

What site is this you are talking about that you made 60 bucks in two days?

The site is an SEO article site called writers domain. They give you 3.00 per 200 word article and a .30 to .40 bonus per article depending on the score you get. I can normally get 5 to 10 articles a day from them, but they have had fewer articles up lately You have to register, submit and writing sample and then wait to see if they choose you to write. They are very picky on grammar and spelling. One spelling mistake, even in the title, and you lose your bonus. That has happened only once to me, because my spell check missed the error in the title box. If you can get articles and make them work for you then its great, but there have been days when I could not even get one article.

What are the topics they will ask you to write about? I'm curious, is it easy?

The topics are kind of easy, but most are not really fun to right about. They have different topic areas that you can write about, but some are just boring. If you can spell really good and have good grammar then yes it can be very easy. The hardest part is waiting to see if they are going to get approved. They can take up and sometimes past 10 days to get either accepted or rejected, though it is great when you have a whole bunch get approved at one time. It pays pretty good if you keep with it, but most people cannot stand writing about businesses or certain items all the time.

Hi Minnie, just bear with it, because that is the way seo works. The easiest way to use keywords, even those that do not make any sense, is to ask questions. You have the keyword once in the title when you phrase it as a question. Then you can write an introductory paragraph by asking a question as well. After that, at the end of the article, just repeat the question, and summarizes it with a short answer. That will make senseless keywords become reasonable.

Thanks, right now there are a lot of topics available so I get to pick and choose which ones that I want to do. My hubby does SEO articles too, but he can write faster than I can and he loves to write. I find ones that can be researched easily and since I only have to do 200 words it makes it more bearable.

In my point of view I consider you and your husband lucky for having savings and being able to survive the past few days without a stable source of income.I only earn 14$ a day in my regular day job and my husband earns around 10$ a day. Imagine that. I would love to have an extra source of income like the writing job you have right now. I am weeks away from conception of our first baby and would be leaving my day job so I really need another source of income for our family.

Perhapes their keywords are made by a software. Im sceptic wether by using such key words, those articles will get much hits from SE.

Good to hear about this site. 60 dollars in 2 days is really great. Can you give me the site name? What is their payout minimum and payment method? i am interested in joining with this site, can you give me more information?

The name of the site is writersdomain.net. If you want to be paid before the 5th of the month you have to reach 100.00 then they give you a new button to push that says something like pay me now. The payment method is Paypal. You write SEO articles. They are 200 word articles on a topic, but you have to make sure you have no spelling mistakes and can write with good grammar (that's the hard one for me,LOL). They require a writing sample and can take up to a week to get back to yo on whether your sample was approved. If you get accepted you need to keep your level of work at the same quality or better as your writing sample. Also just follow the rules and you should do ok. Oh and when you submit work it can take awhile for some to get approved. You can go three or more days with them being reviewed and then all of a sudden you have 10 approved in an hour. Hope the information helps.

I've dabbled in SEO writing for some time. The keywords are always killing me! It's hard to work on especially if you're not so knowledgeable in the topic or the keywords that are being used. The money is decent though, and tides me through some hard times.

I would love to know more about the site. However, it is I do not really love writing much. I do know that you have to consistently use a word in your article in other to create the impression you desire. For now, I do not know any other trick.
