I think I've Given Up on writing before I can even get started!

Writing reviews is a great way to make some extra money for yourself. Not only that you can typically write a review on any product that you find. However, if you are starving for article ideas to write to get good money if you travel frequently or such write about the places taht you travel to. Write about your local home town area I did that and get an average of about 4 bucks upfront payment plus views from AC. Also something else that you might want to consider trying is affiliate marketing. I know it sounds kind of bad, but with marketing you will gain a wealth of information that you might not have realized before is available. Just an idea. If you want more information on marketing let me know because so many programs are scams, but I have a site that I joined and they actually teach you how to learn about marketing and where to find more great information on article writing and such. Whatever you do though do not give up on writing! Writing is a great asset to have to get some money in even if it is sporadic.

You can join Gather. You can share your work and earn points for gift cards and cash. If your interested I can invite you.

If you are a poet, my suggestion would be to write a few and manke a compilation of your poetry and publish it. I think that many people have done so. It may not bring in quick cash, but it is residual income. I think that sites like Triond and AC (assuming you're not from the US) only bring in earnings from pageviews and it may nto be a bad thing afterall, since it is residual income. But I know that if you write poetry, the earnings at Triond is slower than writing articles. Promoting is important. I do see my earnings drop whenever I stop promoting my articles. I write for Triond too and will probably write for AC more. I only have about 5 articles there. The trick for Triond would be to write more pieces. I have 100 articles there now and earning me income every month without writing more. So in the end you will benefit if you write more. All the best, esparra! Don't despair and keep looking around for sites that may cater to your interest.

There are tons of poets on Gather. If you find the right groups to join you'll get aa lot of feedback and make decent money. I'd love to read your stuff, you can PM me your info to your sites if you want me to view them to help you out. I love poetry.

you could write reviews. i found a site today that pays 2 dollar per review. pm me if you want to know more.

Don't give up! I too am trying to find ways to make money from my home. I am a stay at home mother of two and I need to bring in some finacial help in order to make things a little easier for my husband. We would like to have another child but we need a bigger house to do that and since am not working, it doesn't seem like a very real possibility. I join the sites that you mentioned and I have to agree with you. I have written several articles for Associated, and I have barely seen any profits. I am taking a course online to become a freelance writer, I figured that it wuld be an easy way to make money. I was wrong, there is nothing easy about it. My sugestion to you is that you read up on some writting techniques and see what happens. I know that I hear it a lot but I'm going to say it to you, NEVER GIVE UP! I know that I am going to keep trying, I love to write about anything and everything and I know that if I keep trying, one day I will get where I want to be. I know that you can too.

earning revenues by performing artistic skills is a good idea.. we will be more beneficial for revenues as well artistic skills often.. mylot is a good idea..

Quick money is not so easily reachable. I do not want to be harsh, and I am sorry if I have hurt you, but I have also the same type of experience as you have. I have tried multiple sites, wrote some articles, but they were not chosen for some reason. I got irritated slowly, and now I have stopped writing for them. But mylot is diferent, here things roll out easily. Thus I suggest you to be more patient, and then try again with some fresh air, and your articles may fetch you handsome amount. Wish you all the best.

There are no get rich quick things that work. Sadly, most poets never do make it big. They're word artists, and suffer the same fate as other artists. Their work becomes more valuable when they pass on. I do know of one poet who makes a good living with his poetry. He self-publishes his own poetry books, which he sells when he goes out and does poetry readings for which he is paid. But he has to work very hard at marketing himself, at booking engagements, etc. Writers - real writers - don't settle for making pennies per view. They research real writing gigs - in magazines, newspapers, e-zines, and they write per the specifications required by the publication. Then they have to write a "perfect" inquiry letter. They follow the submission guidelines. Then they wait. Sometimes they get published. Often they get rejection slips.

I made around 5 dollars from a writing site within a week of joining.. I am not a good writer though.. I earnings is increasing day by day on this site as I have few referals on this writing site.. U can find the writing site on my blog on my profile.. This is the only writing site I have come across so far which pays you 25% of what ur referals make.

Well, I think don't to gave up, I'm sure, finally we can fin the best way to writing on the net. But most important is, we have to love writing, by that we can easily and clearly make an articles, also we have to always write a honest articles.

Are you 'not much of a writer' because you think you aren't good at it, or because it doesn't interest you? I'm starting to see the evidence and potential of what writing articles can really do, and I'm a member of several sites that pay for posts. There are a few that accept poetry as well. It is a matter, partly, of how much time you put into it, but the idea of writing top articles about current events is really not as important as you might think. PM me and we'll chat more if you like. Maybe I can steer you in a direction that works best for you. Good luck!
