I have been writing articles in many of the sites and the payment is always fluctuating. However, as a freelancer writer I can able to earn more when compared to to her online sites. Some sites are not fetching me a good amount of money and sometimes null. Hence, I wish to earn my writing more and more. However , I have a few chances alone. HOW ABOUT you? are you having a good site to earn more in writing or else any other means, if so what is the site?

Well, I've recently discovered the use of multiple sites is utterly pointless when I can provide my total attention to one site and practically maximize my earnings so I've decided to use myLot as my writing site! I don't really write that often anyways but when I feel like beng responsive, I log in here, post a couple of discussions and answer a couple to make the most of my time in order t achieve satisfactory earnings! If you do however benefit from the employment of several sites, more power to you and happy earnings! :)

This is well said. You really have to put in time and divote yourself to writing for one or two sites or else you will get really spread out. MyLot is a very good site to post on because it not only pays, but it lets you practice your writing as well. The down side is that there is a lot of spamming here, but the Administartion takes care of a lot of it for you. I always plan on writing at MyLot. It's fun.

Well, Manasha, I would say that there are a lot of sites where you can write and very few that you can earn real money on for your efforts. I have been writing online for years, and sadly my biggest earner was eHow. They went belly up last year because of REALLY questionable tactics, and if you've done any research about online writing you would see that for sure. I ended up selling then the articles I wrote for them for about $100.00. I had over 100 articles published there at one point and was earning a steady $20+ a month, which may not seem like a lot, but it added up. All told I made well over $500 writing for them. Now it is much tougher to find a site unless you are willing to put in a LOT of time working a site, making friends, rating articles, etc. Helium is still a good site and so is HubPages. You can make money on both but don't expect a payment really soon. It takes a while and you do have to be a good writer. Forum posting for money is a good way to earn a little hear and there, but you have to spend a lot of time at it too. I recently found a site that pays .09 per post! It's a very good site for English writers, but there is a strict registration and application policy in place to keep out spammers and the like. I have more info if you want it. Good luck in your writing efforts! We are all there with you!

Before I actually decided to take the leap and start writing some online articles, I did a lot of research as to which sites were good sites. With that said, I decided that I would go with helium because of the fact that there were a lot of good reviews both here on mylot and also on the web. I've been seriously writing for them for about a year now and though I won't say that the money that I've earned is paying my bills, I've made enough money that it has bought some extras for our family and also bailed us out a few times when things were really tough for us.

Hi Manasha, I'd say it's Triond. I love publishing my work there. I'm not very active there nowadays so I guess I can't complain about my earnings.It's a wonderful site with a simple layout. Being there makes me comfortable and it's really easy to find our way around. You are right. Our income is limited if we have no referrals. On the other hand getting a down-line is not an easy task either. Keep writing and I wish you all the best.

I am new to online writing. I got all my information from other mylotters. My best site so far is Associated Content. I have earned about $17 in upfront payments and have about 700 page views towards my 1,000 page views. I have about 11 or 12 articles published. To do really well, I think that you need much more like 100 plus articles. I have published 10 articles on Triond and have earned some pennies but not yet enough to get my 50 cents cash out. I have lens on Squidoo and two articles on Helium. I have earned 5 cents on Helium and nothing on Squidoo. I plan to stick with Associated Content, Triond, and Helium in that order. I see potential with these three sites.

It depends on what my plans are with an article. When I write articles I customize them to the type of sites I write. If I'm going for upfront payment I first then post my article in exposeknowledge. The upfront payment maybe small or cheap but in time being an active writer you'll earn decent enough from your original post. I was able to cashout around $17 from this site. However, the site pays via Alertpay only. Good thing about the site you can re-post the same article in other websites. After being credited for my article in EK, I would wait for 2 weeks to post these articles in other websites. Paid per view type of sites like expertscolumn. Min payout of $5 and I've got paid via PayPal. If I'm doing reviews I re-write them and post some of them in Reviewstream.

It depends what kind of earning you mean. For revenue share, I've had the most luck with HubPages, which has earned me about 20 time what I've had from AC or Helium, though that's still only about $40 in two years! For direct work, Elance has been kinder to me than oDesk or Freelancer (I haven't really tried Guru). I've picked up a couple of really good clients there and earned thousands from them over the years (not through Elance directly). It's also the site where I look for people when I need work done (the most recent being the $450 editing job!) For marketplace sales, the one and only Constant Content has been a nice source of a little extra cash. I sell an article there every month or two, though I don't really work at it at all. Hey, I'm not going to complain at an extra $50 every now and again!

I don't have a good site to earn money with. My best site is free info about ferrets. It doesn't only include how to take well care of them, how to respect an animal and not wanting to make something out of it that it is not, but also all kind of diseases and what you can do yourself to prevent them or keep your animal fit. This can save you a lot of money since most vets over here know nothing about keeping ferrets and the less who know a bit are giving all the same meds (no matter what the animal has) plus sky high bills. I don't care about making money with that, I just care about the animal. Mostly the victim of it's owner.
