ANOTHER discussion on paid to write sites....

I have been writing for AC for almost two years and enjoy it but make better money at Constant Content. But they are not like a "paid-to-write" site, they sell your articles to third party customers who need content. I make better money with them because I can set my own price for my work. Sometimes you have to wait for your submissions to sell, but if you sell them for usage rights only you can sell them more than once.

I have tried several writing sites and now I stick mainly to the one where I make the most money. I think it is good to try out different ones, but you will soon realize that most of them require you to spend some time networking, voting or rating. If your time is limited, it's best to choose the site you think will benefit you most by spending time there. I think it also depends on your style of writing and the topics you want to write about. If you are into popular culture and computer games you can probably do better at sites like Triond and Review Stream. If you want to write serious in depth articles, chose Helium, AC, or both. I like Helium because it gives me a wide range of topics I can write about in contests, debates, and in the Summer Reward-athon. I also write for the Helium Marketplace, where I make the most money. If you want to earn money from page views alone, Helium is probably not the best site, but I do earn something every day from my stock list of articles there, in addition to all the other payments I get in my Helium account. At each site, success depends on your input and active participation.

I've written a little for Associated Content, but prefer a wider range of choices for my articles, so I'm trying out Triond. I've only been there a few weeks and don't have very many articles up yet, but it looks as if it will build up pretty well as I get more work on there. I just started with eHow and like the site very much. Only one article so far, but lots of ideas. I'm going to stick with those two for now because I don't do well when I spread myself too thin. For anyone who's interested, I'm Ancient Aspie on Triond

i've been with triond for more than a month now and i got paid already just yesterday on time as advertized. th only trick with triond is you have to post as many articles you have so you won't be depending on certain articles for your earnings and market it as far as you could and as many as you can. never been to the rest of other sites that you mentioned. are you triond member already? if so what is your username so we can exchange article reading. my username there is the same, just place a space in between the two R's.

I am writing at Heliu, Triond, and AC. Ac pays better upfront, then Triond pays better on passive income. Helium is a good place to build your writing abilities. They are each very different, so I can't say one os better than the other. If you are good at writing to specific guidelines, Helium would be the place to put your energues, they have monthly contests and the markwt place. My mom makes pretty good money there.

I write mostly for Triond. My own experiments among the three sites Triond, Asscoaited Content and Helium have led me to conclude that Triond pays better in terms of passive income. I also like Helium, except for the fact that Helium tends to attract a lot of plagarisers. Although there are people who complain about the seemingly randomness of the rating process, overall I'm ok with it. While the rating process does rank me lower than some articles I don't think should be above me, I do accept that not all systems are perfect.
