Article and Blog Sites, Please Share With Me

I am a veteran of AC. Instant post of articles and that sort of was it's downfall. Too much incoherent junk got published. Panda killed it. AC was a good site as was Helium and now such writing sites are basically extinct.

The only one I know was Hub Pages. Never put anything on that one.

These days I publish the majority of my content that doesn't get used on my own sites on InfoBarrel. It's been around for quite some time now, and it's reasonably stable (if suffering at the moment a bit from neglect as the company has been occupied with other projects).

I was with A FOR years and when Yahoo bought them out, I was scared they would change a lot, but they didn't? If anything, my views went yp and my money jumprf from 200 a month to 400 a month. I missed them. Now I cannot write due to my illness. I stay fatigued all the timr,

@CinnamonGrl - Ms Sue - I truly wish that I could pass great knowledge of "paying" writers' websites along to you, but I know of only one that seemed to me to be both reliable as to demand for real articles and both honest and timely as to payment for them. It was and still is "Textbroker." They provide a scale for writers to weigh in on, and most get from about "2" to "4." That sets the pay per word. You have to write on things wanted to be written by the paying customers who supply the subject wanted, the article's desired length, and some key words to be used in the SEO sense in your articles. You have to do your own research and write good stuff in a good way. If you miss the customer's desired specs, you are advised of what you may have missed and permitted to repeat and do things better. If you put in the time and the effort, it is likely that you could earn a reasonable living with your writing there. You start at "2" and go on from there. I just write for the fun of it now, but if I wanted to go back to earning from writing, I would go to "Textbroker" to do so. None of this "like" stuff for 1/10 of a penny each and a hoped for 30 hits to make 3 cents per posting. Serious writing brings serious money. Posting fun stuff for pennies brings pennies and fun. Nothing wrong with the latter, but it is understandable that people have to eat and pay the rent as well as "interact" for grins. By the way, I have been on HubPages for years (as GusTheRedneck) and enjoy the challenge of writing for a demanding audience there - but if one or two people can earn their living by writing on HubPages, they must put in 12-hour days x 7 days a week to accomplish that. Not bragging, but I am a good writer, and if I earned $50 a year at my busiest over there, it was somewhat of a miracle. Enough of this ranting, right? So check out TextBroker and see if it fits. -Gus-

It is myLot as of now. But a good friend from several sites messaged me regarding Blogbourne asking me to join it. I was just thinking that it requires 400 words minimum, considering I am so lazy right now (not in the mood to write). But I think it is a reliable site. You can try it.

There is Constant Content but they are very picky. I have a doctor friend who has been with them for 10 years. At first every thing she wrote was rejected but she kept submitting until they finally accepted her. She has clients now who ask for her and she gets tired because of deadlines and plus working as a doctor.

Many of us joined the site you mentioned and it seems to be good. Time will tell.

I stick with bitLanders

I've had some luck with HubPages, although I haven't put much time into it.
