Would you pay 12.95 a month to write on a blog site that says it will pay you to write? I am not sure about this? I am not going to name the site. If they rally do pay the people who write I can see how they get the money to pay the writers from the fees other people pay in to write. If I was going to do that I want make sure I least make $20.00 a month of I was going to write on a site like that then I at least I will be making even kind of of corse I rally want to make more. That just the minun.OK that it for this one.

NO. The very first Golden Rule of Online Working is that you should NEVER pay anyone to give you work.
Without knowing anything about the site, I can say with some confidence that it's a scam. What they will probably do is to send you assignments which they will then reject as not being 'up to standard' or 'not sold' (there are several cunning tricks). If they do pay you something, it will almost certainly be less than what you paid them but they have you 'on the hook' and will promise you more in the future or something like that.
What it boils down to is that they are an 'article farm' who may (or may not) sell articles to bloggers &c. Almost certainly you will sign away any rights you have to what you write for them and they may sell it multiple times without telling you or paying you.
If someone asks you to pay them for the 'privilege' of writing for them, WALK AWAY VERY QUICKLY!

This is a plot to earn money from innocent writers.

I vote no. Don't committ to any monthly payments. Plus you will be starting at -13 each month while they will be making almost $200 a year whether you get writing orders or not. I think if you take the bait now there will be more $$ extortions to come. Be careful.

No, I would never pay a site to write there based on some scheme that they would eventually pay me. Actually, it sounds like a pyramid scheme where they pay something to older members from the fee charged new ones. No way!

And even if you did write the fee will not cover the monthly fee
I do not trust the sites.

Never. The money should flow to the writer and a place like that screams of scam to me.

@eagletrek2 It seems they are working off your money. If you are not getting a good product worth 12 bucks like a book or something then what is the money buying?

I would normally say no to that it doesn't make sense. Now if that money is a fee for membership or services that they provide you like web page domain name etc then yes i could see paying that much for the services and you make money from writing then i would but its best to investigate it first.

I don't think you should have to pay for it unless you want to.

No if they want you to give them money to earn money then most likely they are not genuine. There are some exceptions but the vast majority are a scam. The same is true with any site offering to put you in touch with people once you pay them. We have seen them all:
"send us $19.95 and we will provide 100 places where you can earn online"
What you receive, in most cases, is a list of other sites that charge for similar information. I too can sell you for $19.95 a book that will enable you to to use your personal computer for profit. Don't believe it.
