HOW TO EARN MONEY ONLINE

Best Sites that will Pay You to Write Articles Online

Are you looking for article writing websites so you can start earning money online? Freelance article writing gives you the opportunity to work from home. Jobs, where article writers can be earning money, are listed every day.

We provide article writing services for a living and have learned that just knowing where the writing jobs are online is half the battle won.

Perhaps you have wanted to try publishing some of your own articles online and don’t know where to start.

Being able to write and earn money online can be very rewarding. You can choose to work with the clients or websites that interest you most.

You also get to enjoy working at your own pace, setting your own price (as demand for your writing grows) and you get to enjoy a steady income.

However, for some, the idea of writing for others is not so satisfying. A career in journalism or writing articles is not for everybody.

If you want to earn money by writing online for others, here are 10 sites where you can get paid to write your own articles.

Wow Women on Writing: $50-100

Wow Women on Writing does one thing really well: They look after female writers, encourage them and genuinely seek to offer opportunities to budding freelancers. Their audience is diverse and all focused on providing excellent content for women.

Wow Women focus on innovative business, freelancing, and training. The articles are generally detailed and designed to help writers improve their skills and showcase their work. You have an option of either asking for a payment by Paypal or, if in the USA, by Check.

How to get started

Start by reading other Wow Articles. You will want to have an idea of the tone of the site. The site is informative, relaxed and excited about showcasing good writers.

• Ensure that you are not just duplicating their content and re-editing an old idea. Be creative.
• Wow will pay up to $150.00 for a 3,000-word feature article.
• Focus on being useful. How will your post help readers?
• Practical, actionable advice is what readers want with easy to follow steps.

Wow Women focuses on women, writers, and a monthly theme. I am not sure what they offer in terms of a link back to your own content in the articles but they do link back to your site from your Author profile.

Please note that they do not open attachments. Your article or pitch needs to be presented in plain text in the body of the email. Sending a Bio or a link to other published work is a good idea and will improve your chances of getting published.

Strong Whispers: $50 – $150

Strong Whispers offers readers a range of articles about lifestyle, environment and other social issues. The range is wide. Your contribution is not limited.

Articles can range from corporate greed to education reform or change in world leadership to letting the people govern and make decisions on the way we treat the environment and exploitation of resources.

How to get started

Article earnings are negotiable, but they typically pay $50-$150 per published article. They are willing to pay more for the right article and website aims to publish 2-3 guest posts per month.

Step 1: Send them your best outline for an article you would like to write along with your fee expectation. Topics need to be unique and have a high impact.

They also ask that you send your current blog URL or an URL to published work so they can understand your writing style. They will tell you if the topic is of interest to them and if your sample meets their review criteria.

Step 2: After you have been invited to write for them, go ahead, write your article and submit it for review. They won’t publish simply mediocre or just okay guest posts.

Each article must be well written, accurate, grammatically correct and original content. You will get to view their guidelines so you can be sure to tick all the boxes.

Step 3: After you submit your article online, it will be reviewed. After review you will receive one of 3 emails:

1. Rejected – Poor quality.
2. Requires minor changes
3. Approved.

If approved, it will be set to publish either immediately or at a future date. Once set to publish, you will be paid via PayPal.
