The Best Online Writing Sites and the Worst Online Writing Sites

This is only my third site, after Helium and Bubblews, so I'm not well qualified to comment. That's never stopped me before though :) From a writing point of view, Helium was very good for me and some of my posts there made good money. Bubblews in its heyday was the most fun I've had doing what I do, although I saw that it was doomed to failure pretty early on. MyLot's design is probably the best of the three though - it's easy to find what you're looking for and the new users list allows us all to keep tabs on the future of the site. Admin is good here too.

I have had 2 favorites over the years. One is MyLot and the other was called CGPGallery. CGP did not pay me though sadly what they owed before shutting down. MyLot is a trustworthy site which is why I love it so much.

Though at the end Bubblews didn't do it in a nice way and disappointed many people, I still think it used to be the best online writing site, at least for me. Not only the pay is huge, but I also like the way we participated there. I did learn a lot from that site and enjoyed my time there as well. Well, all these happened before a lot of spamming and cheating running around, then the site collapsed.... I can't say it's the worst too, though it did owe me lots of payment, it did pay me much more than other online sites as well.

I have used 5 different writing sites: Scavengercash, Size of Paper, Persona Paper, Bubblews and myLot. I don't know if any of you remember Scavengercash and Size of Paper. Both sites disappeared several years ago, and I never got paid. I used Persona Paper for a while, but I never reached payout. Bubblews paid me many times, but I didn't receive all of my redemptions. I lost about $200 when they cancelled the redemptions in November 2014. I have been a member of myLot since 2008, and I consider it the best site. Conclusion: Worst: Scavengercash and Size of Paper Mixed feelings: Persona Paper and Bubblews Best: myLot

I started at Igougo, went on to be the Travel Channel Manager at Helium for 7 years, Associated Content which became Yahoo Voices, Bukisa when it paid, Bubblews, Persona Paper, Examiner for the last 3 years, Info Barrel, 5 blogs , Writedge and MyLot. Helium for me was overall the best paying but it was Igo that got me started as a travel writer. Worst, well CGP Gallery and Persona Paper and Bukisa..

My personal favourite was a travel site called Igougo.com which folded 2-3 years ago. It allowed us to write whatever we wanted and paid very well.

at first bubblews was terrfi c then they started b eing crooked now are de e d so Im back on new mylot as I was onc e on the old my lot new one is so good as bb once was.

The highest paying at this moment is postloop but it is hard to qualify and pass there.

There was bubblews which was good for a long time. But mylot is the best right now.

I am in search of those too.

I don't have one! Bubblews?! No way! Persona Paper . . it sucks. CGP Gallery was a gallery owned by thieves. I hope myLot will not disappoint us!

I liked Wiknut because you could post anything there poetry and short stories along with articles.

I liked Bubblews in the beginning and wrote for them a lot. (Over 2000 genuine posts.) But with one change after another it just got worse. We chalk it up as experience and move on! :)

I started with Associated Content that was sold to YCN for a purported sum of $100 million - heady days of valuation indeed! I moved for a time with Bukisa and then stayed for years with Wikinut. I liked Associated Content, not Yahoo though, and also was comfortable with Wikinut. I am more comment driven, so I feel myLot will suit me just fine - siva

I joined mylot, bubblews, and wikinut. I preferred Bubblews layout, and now I am habituated to myLot layout as well. Wikinut didn't feel that good.

In my opinion , Bubblews would have been a very good site specially that it really made the bubblers earn a lot . What made it the worst though is not paying what is due to the bubblers .

i think that depends on what you look for in a site. If you are looking for fun this place if you are looking for really high earnings listverse if you want to write something with a lot more content then its probably personapaper

i am really enjoying mylot because it look strong because i met here lots of people who also do some work in other sites so,second on is pinterset because its also i like to much,i dont like TSU and beermoney nations,because i dont know how to earn there.

I started with Helium. They had contests, and also on-sold your articles on to magazines sometimes. Earnings there were good. They folded a year or two ago. I tried Triond, they paid me one payment of around $2, but then they seemed to die a bit, the number of views disappeared and so did the earnings. I was with Associated content too, who paid well initially, until they stopped paying people outside of the United States. Then I found Wikinut, who recently stopped paying their writers anything at all. They only paid very small amounts anyway. It was in British pounds though. I got around 14 pounds there in two years of writing for over 500 articles written. A paltry sum really. Helium had a great forum and community with it too. I was with it for eight years, and as I cut my teeth there as a writer, I value it the most. They had a system of rating where your articles were rated by everyone else on the site too, which was interesting.

I am new to mylot, but it looks like a fun site, most of the other sites I used to write on crashed and I would say burned, but in actual fact they kind of just faded away. The only other site that I like to write on is Hubpages. I am of course not counting my numerous blogs.
