Hi, my friends! How are you? I hope ok. Well I was thinking about something. The question I cant answer is: is it possible to make money writing articles? I found many webpages telling me that you can do even 15 dollars per article, but finally I was all a lie. So, after searching all over the web, I start thinking it is not possible, and I have nothing but doubts. So, if somebody knows the answer to this question, it would be thankful. Please, Im waiting for your answer. Thanks, have a nice day!

Yes you can make some money writing aricles on line, but getting paid $15 up front for an article is not very likely. Most online articles that people get paid for are paid based on how many hits that or how many people view that article. They pay you a certain amount of money per hit. Some pay up front but usually only a couple of dollars, but an article could make a lot of money if it gets a lot of hits. So if you write an article that generates a lot of interest you certainly could make $15.00. My top money generating article makes me about $12.00 per month in the months of October, November, and December, and has been doing that for the last 3 years. So once you write an article it will continue to earn for you for a long time, but I have many articles that make me about a $1.00 a month which does not seem like much but if you have enough article all earning $1.00 a month you can do quite well. The key to earning writing articles is to write lots of articles often. Money can be made writing on line but you have to be very dedicated. If you are interested in some good sites please PM me.

yes of course. theres too many of that offer here online though you have to be careful coz i heard that most of them as scam. means they only want your articles and they wont pay you back for that. as they will also going to submit it the original and legit site where they are also a member. make sure to find a legit site for freelance writing.

Yes, writing articles can help you make real money online.. I used to write articles before but I got sick so I have to stop... It's kind of hard to write a 500 word article particularly if you are not particular with the topic.. honestly, i am having a hard time making a 500 word article regarding real estate, law jobs, etc.. you can't make up stories when writing articles.. articles should always be factual/ real so always take note of that... plus, always check your grammar and spelling... read your articles before submitting them... i missed writing articles though...

It depends, how much money do you want to earn? To make good money at writing articles, just like anything else, you have to be good at it and dedicated to your craft. Just because you write it, doesn't mean they will come.
The worldwide web is full of promises of big money, but competition in the writing world is fierce. It is imperative your grammar, spelling, and punctuation are flawless. It is important you understand and utilize the principles of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for online writing. And that's just the technical points.
Be prepared for rejection. The best writers have been rejected. Learn to take criticism constructively. Just because you write something you may perceive as an excellent piece, doesn't mean your readers or the publisher will. There are plenty of writing sites you can post your articles for PPV (Paid Per View) income, but if it's poorly written, do not expect to garner a lucrative readership.
It is rare to get paid $15 upfront for an article unless you are a professional writer. In that case, than you already know about everything I have posted.
Bottom line: Unless you are a dedicated and skilled writer, do not think you can just crank out articles each day and money will just flow in. It doesn't work that way. Otherwise, we'd all be writers.

hi! yes, you can earn a lot of money for writing articles, but there are also many cheaters, who give you some article to write and when you send it to them they say you it is not good and don't give you the money. you also must have very good English skills, becaues it is important that the articles, have no grammar or spelling errors
