Writing For Money??

United States
May 5, 2009 1:53pm CST
Hey Mylotters.... I was wondering if someone can give me a few websites that pay you to write. I am already a member of ehow and ciao. I am looking for some others to write for and make money doing that. I signed up for some of those sites that pay you to blog, but they never post any tasks for me to do and if they are not going to give me anthing to do, then it is just a waste of time. I am trying to write online with several websites so that I can make a career out of it while I am still attending college. So if anyone has any ideas, please respond and tell me about a writing site,what type of writing is required, and how much it pays. Thank you so much. If it is a website where you can get credit for referring me, feel free to PM me the referral link and I will join. NO PTC sites Please! I have enough of those already. Only writing sites. Thanks. ~Love

I reccomend associatedcontent.com You can write about anything there. How to articles, Product Reviews, Informative articles and more. If you are from the US they will pay you a certain amount upfront for your article and will also pay you 1.50 for every thousand page views your articles recieve. Their unfront payments are usually between 3.00 to 5.00 or sometimes even more. Another site I have heard of is helium but I haven't wrote for them so I am not sure how they work. Have a great day!

Thank you. I think I signed up for associated content, but I have yet to look the site over. i have been putting my all into ehow lately. I am going to log in and check it out today though! As far as helium, I used that site a few years back and I didn't make much money from it. I think I made like 9 cents a month, lol. Thanks for the response. ~Love

Helium has made some fantastic changes over the last year. The more you write, the more you earn, starting with your first writing star. If you write 5 articles in one month, and have one writing star, that is $2.50 you get that month. If you have 2 writing stars, you get paid $1.00 per article. That would make it $5 per month. 3 stars = $1.50 per article and it goes up to $2.50 per article. On top of that, you now also get a $1.00 bonus (on top of above star earnings) for each empty title that you write to. I am making payout easily every month now on Helium, before that it took me several months to get to payout. Also, remember marketplace and writing contests. You can't win if you don't enter!

Check out textbrokers.com, guru.com, elance,com, and maybe mturk.amazon.com all these sites offer real earnings opportunities. Hope they offer you some help. Good luck and hey remember mylot pays and you can also check out the blogs here and post on those. Good luck and happy mylotting to you!!

WOW...thank you very much! You gave me enough things to keep me busy for awhile, lol. I am going to be overwhelmed! LOL. yes, I know that ehow pays. I just haven't reached that point yet to where I am earning any real money. However, I do know that it takes time and patience. I am currently reading some ebooks on how to make good money with ehow. I work on it a little each day. I have been trying to post an article a day on ehow. Thanks for the very informative response. If any of these websites you provided give you an incentive for referring me, let me know so that I can mak sure that ou get the proper credit. ~Love.

Agree with the others, Amazon Turk is great, and the best one I know. I've been paid by them, and you can either have the money in your bank account, or for amazon gift certificates. It's great! So far I've gotten a vaccuum cleaner, prilosec, and other stuff that I needed.

Writing for money??? Hello there, I have a couple of websites where you can get paid for writing. So far there is at least at least two that I am a member of. One of them is Yuwie and with that one, you have to make a profile and then other people will come up and ask to be ur friend of they will want to join up with you. It's all about social networking ya know? Anyways, here is the site address, http://www.yuwie.com/mommakingadifference/ this is just an example of mine, if you like it then you can join by using this ref. link. http://www.yuwie.com/233917 The most important thing to do on this site is to always answer people back whenever they send you a message, try to be courteous and friendly. And improve ur site a little bit everyday as you you go along. Personally speaking, I love yuwie and I have made alot of really nice people there. Here is another one http://www.bukisa.com/join/6856 With this particular one the rules may change slightly but it's all about content here basically, you have to write up articles that have at least 400 words in them if I'm not mistaken. With this one you still want to get people to join with you but so far I've not been able to figure out a way so that you can correspond with the other members that join. Well check those out and you can get back with me if you have any questions. Feel free to add me as friend here on mylot and then you could send messages directly to me. Thanks for inquiring and I want to wish you great success in all of your endeavors. I have a niece that is graduating college soon. She went out and got a part time job. I don't know if this is the kind of thing that ur looking for but it's at least worth a try. Anyways, wishing you all the best. BTW, both of these sites are free to join but please read over the rules very carefully. Be blessed.

Thanks for the information. I used to be a member of yewie but the site was always slow and it froze my computer up a lot so I closed my account. Maybe I will try again though.

Hi,I signed up to one called Digital Journal which pays you for writing news. You can pick stories up onine and just put them in your own words so you are not copying. I'm in my third month with that site and with a good few articles written my earnings have really picked up fast. I've reached the pay out level of $10 every month, usually in the first week or so and I've made over $50 so far. You can also try Ground Report,Huliq and News Vine. These all pay for news and they all say you keep copyright of the articles, so I copy and paste my news items and just alter a few things like the headlines etc.

I see many of our peers have given you most of the good writing sites already. However, I also submit articles on Triond. You can sign up there and send a few things in. It's not much, but every little bit helps!

I think you will do well on About.com. They will hire you and will pay a monthly salary in $!! Go, get it!!

I write for a couple of websites myself that I think you may be interested in. They are Associated Content, Triond and Helium. I don't know whether you have checked them out before but, out of the three I prefer Helium. I'm slowly writing more and more articles on there and it's a very good site to write for I think. Anyway, good luck with your own writings. Andrew
