The first thing you will have to do is start writing, that sounds like a no brainer but you would be surprised at the number of people frozen, waiting for high paying freelance writing jobs to come knocking on their door. They are not coming to you so you might as well stop waiting.

Start blogging about a subject you know well or are passionate about. It is not necessary to have both, though if you have to choose between passion and knowledge go with passion.

I Write For Pay

I'm writing for money too (the same site as shewolf, she's my daughter) I just received a payment for $62.50. I knew I was going to get it but it still blows me away! I've always wanted to write and get paid for it and now I am. Now I feel confident enough to really try and make a living of it. I only write part time after work. I just want to give some advice here. If you like to write, you are a writer at heart at least. Don't give it away. I have seen people wanting articles done for ridiculously low prices like fifty cents for three or more articles! Don't do it! I'm writing for a penny a word right now and looking to get up to a higher pay rate. I see it as a learning experience and some well needed extra money. You can practice writing on My Lot or submit content to AC or E How and see how you do. You can make a little money with these sites too but the main thing is the experience you get and the exposure to your writing style.

Writing Articles for Cash

The more expensive things get the more people looking for ways to make money on the internet. There are ebooks a million trying to sell you the fastest way to get rich. Moreover, if you are a writer there are freelance sites all over the net asking you to sign up now and get write articles for cash! The problem is the offers are low-ball deals that will insure your status as a starving writer forever.

So where can you go to sell articles for cash? Well if you are really lucky, you could stumble on an article writing opportunity as I did. I have made nearly $200.00 in a week writing articles part time. That is a serious amount of money where I live for writing a little each day.

I have a dream of writing articles exclusively on topics I enjoy and for an amount that I determine. My plan is to do that right here starting today.


The advice out there says to write the content and they will come! If you have the talent to write and give quality information then people will find you. We shall see how much truth there is in that sage advice.

So what advice can I give for someone wanting to begin writing there way to fame and fortune? Well here is a sample of the best advice I have gotten so far:


1) Write, Write, Write....
2) Take the small stuff, even pay per click articles can get you noticed
3) Never, give up
4) Believe in yourself; do not let some jerk tell you different

Get out there and start putting your writing on sale for cash. Start with sites like Associated Content, Ehow, Constant Content ECT... These all will play a role in your online writing portfolio. What you wont find writing articles for cash:

1) Instant Wealth
2) Job offers from Time
3) Fame and renown

Write what you know, write it often then you will be able to write articles for cash.

Writing for Cash

Would you believe I almost wrote this post twice! Wow I must be tired, you see I have been writing like a madwoman all week! Today I have a payout of 144.50 waiting for me. It should process tonight and will be available in the morning. I wanted to do a follow up to the prior writing post because I hate it when someone tells you about this great opportunity to make money then never mentions it again! Well I am mentioning it and will continue to let you know how it is going. I am so glad that I began writing online because slowly but surely I am moving into writing full time from home and making a decent wage while I am at it. If you are a writer never give up the dream and write anywhere and everywhere you get the chance.

Writing For Pay

I have scoured the internet for a real place to make money for my writing talent. All I got for my trouble was a headache! What a nightmare! There are tons of sites that want you to pay them to teach you to write or find you the next writing job but no one that said send us some work and we will send you some money! I mean really is that so much to ask? I didn't think so either, so I began writing for associated content. That was a good week or so of work and all in all a positive experience but it just was not providing a sure enough income for me. A few days ago I was going on my merry way and an opportunity jumped up out of nowhere. You see I belong to a little social networking site called mylot. (link is on the right there) And one of my friends pointed me to a discussion about writers wanted. On a lark I responded to the discussion and also contacted her on associated content. Long story made short I am in and I currently have over $40.00 being processed for payment. The point of this small post is this if you love to write then by all means write! If I had not written on associated content then my style would not have been there for them to look at and in short I could have missed this opportunity altogether! Keep your head up and never give up is the motto for today. The link on this page will get you to mylot where you can sign up, dont worry it is absolutely free, in fact you can make a little money posting there. Once you sign up we will be linked and if you can not find the discussion send me a message and I will get it to you.

Associated Content the Update

Well it is a new day for writing and making money and my potential gold mine has turned into a dud! I am hoping this is temporary but lately associated has had very little in the way of calls for content and they are taking twice as long to approve new articles. I still enjoy the site but have gotten a bit frustrated because I looke forward to being able to make at leat 100.00 a month. Hopefully it will pick up soon. I still encourage writing there since it is a great site with lots of great articles, including my own (snicker). I thought I would update everyone on their current performance since I had given them glowing reviews previously.

Writing for Cash

In my wandering online I have looked at hundreds of money making sites, tips and scams. It can really get a girl down to try and try and not be able to find any desent way to make a little cash. Finally I found a couple of sites that are beginning to look promising.

Associated Content:
I joined associated back in January and really did not do a lot with it. In the past couple of weeks I have begun to get really serious about my writing submissions. The first three calls for content that I accepted and produced were accepted and paid in a matter of days. However the last four I have submitted have not been approved, in fact one was denied! (ouch) I have to admit that the one rejected was not my best work, far from it actually so I was not to upset. The long and short of it is this I have made a few dollars and I am generally happy with associated contents responses and payout.

Ehow:
I jumped in here with both feet! But quickly lost steam because of the need to get page views to get paid. That was a lack of understanding on my part though, I can not fault the site. The site itself is fun and easy to use plus there really is not much fear of rejection so if you like writing how-to articles this could be a good place for you. I will reserve judgement on the pay until I actually get paid.

I invite all that come here to please leave a comment! Even if you hate the content the feedback could be helpful. (Be respectful) Thank You!

Associated Content

Associated content is a name that will be familiar to anyone who has looked for a way to make money online by writing. For those of you unfamiliar with the site it is basically a site that pays you for writing articles. Now their pay scale differs depending on the type of rights you grant to them. The baseline pay is a dollar fifty per one thousand page views. Now while this may sound like very little it is actually not that hard to get page views, it is however pretty dependent on you. If you write keyword rich articles the search engines will pick it up, you can also add links to your information, as I have done here
