Full Time Income From Writing at Home

Okay - you got it. Step one. Avoid anything that pays you less than $10 per article. Avoid revenue share sites. Find some decnetly paying markets. I've listed dozens on my site for everyone to take advantage of - but you don't want to visit there. Learn how to calculate how much money you earn each hour you're online. Anything that earns you less than $20 per hour - GIVE IT UP as being pointless. There are so many better paying options. Learn to write SEO articles. Finding clients who will pay you directly for these is easier than you think. Once again - avoid any site offering to pay you any less than $10 per article for your work. Does this help?

Raven's blog is well worth the time to take a look at. It is really great!

thank you creativedreamweaver. I try hard to help any writer that want to break into the professional income ranks.

I hope you find the online income you're hoping for, Sydney. I'm always happy to help new writers break out of the low paying ranks. When I was first beginning in my freelance career 6 years ago, I had a mentor. Her name is Lee and she is the most prolific, amazing writer I've ever met. She earns so much more than me even now - yet she told me that her payment for being my mentor was to find new writers and teach them what she taught me. So I do. My payment for my advice to you is the same thing - when you're doing really well, go out and find some new writers and teach them how to get where you are today. It's called karma and it's a great thing!

That's a great attitude to have. Keep thinking positively and you'll start seeing opportunities that weren't so openly visible before. There are so many different ways to write and earn money that it's not always about articles. In fact, articles are just the tip of the iceberg.

Eh.. Those "sites like Mylot" that I said.. well, no. I won't be using them. Kind of scammy if you ask me. Example. The one site(Don't receall the name) pays you high rates for posting.. you can only do the post task once for each given forum. They all added up to $7.25. The minimum payout is $20.00 so unless a new forum shows up or all the boards give me a really high rep points award you could never actually reach payout. The others seemed to kind of model that behaviour. I was also astonished not to see Mylot in your listing. It's one of the most stable, and yeah. It might be seemingly paying low but you also forget the many manyyy manyy members it has and the signs of stability considering how long it's been around. Some of the writing databases though? As long as they lead to some legit opprotunities they're definitely worthwhile sites.

You're right - I didn't list MyLot as a real way to earn income from writing. That's because the money you earn here isn't a fraction of what real writing companies and publishing houses pay writers to create content. I said in an earlier response on this topic that I won't list any market that pays less than $10 per article (except for the ranting site - but that's just plain fun). MyLot doesn't pay enough to rank a listing on my blog. I'm here for the networking value and to meet other writers.

If you're not into writing articles, you can always write paid blogs or work for some paid forum posting companies. This way you don't have to worry so much about grammar or sentence structure. You're just responding to what other people write. The topics you're given are up to the clients, so they change each week. Sometimes you get easy, fun topics. Other times are a bit more difficult. The only way to know if you like it is to give it a try!
