Hi friends.. I have been reading about so many writing sites lately. So which one is the best way to earn for a non -US citizen ? I used to love ciao but they have reduced their rates from USD 1 to 25 cents per review - Which is not good. I have heard that AC does not pay upfront payment to non - us citizens and ehow is for us citizens only - Is it all true ? Which international writing sites are you a part of an how much you make from them ? Please share your views.

I am not in the USA and I earn money every month from Helium. It's a competitive writing site that pays a small amount of revenue share for page views - when you have earned a star for rating other people's articles.
You can also win money in free writing contests at Helium, and get paid for articles sold in the Marketplace. Selling article has provided the biggest part of my Helium income so far.
The more articles you write at Helium, and the more stars you get from the rating system, the higher your earnings can go. It does take a lot of time, commitment and patience to succeed there. If you are not willing to participate at Helium you will earn little or nothing.

I've sent you a private message. As i said, it is a competitive site and it does take time to get stars, before you can earn, but you could make money much more quickly from marketplace assignments, if your articles are picked.

I would have to suggest Ciao. My friends love it there and they do pay.
