It is
becoming clearer everyday to many people that it is possible to make
an income from home. Forget the “get rich quick schemes” that
claim to make you rich for only doing an hours work per day. When
will people realise there is no such thing as a free lunch. Everyday
people are being conned by these scams and it annoys me that many of
these scammers get away with it. If you are willing to do the work
needed, you will make money. The work needed to make an income online
can seem overwhelming but once you have a routine up and running and
the money coming in; it is not difficult to keep it rolling. Getting
started is always the hard part.
One
way to make money online is to write online articles for revenue
sites and up front article payment sites. Content is King on the
internet and the demand for quality content is extremely high; and
most websites are looking for someone to write that content, so
here’s where you the writer comes in.
There
are sites that pay upfront for articles and then pay a commission on
the advertising revenue it generates. There are also sites that will
pay writer per page view, and if you can write a few articles per
day, by the time you’ve been writing there for a month, it’s
possible you will have close to one hundred articles published and
these will start to generate income. The income will start out slow,
and this can be frustrating, but patience is the key here so keep
putting your work out there and this income will slowly build up.
The
amount of money you are paid for each article, page view or ad click
largely depends on the sites terms or the client that the site refers
you to. While I would recommend that you join as many revenue sites
as possible, look around for recommendations from other writers
before signing up. You want to choose a site that has a good
reputation for publishing quality content, especially if you are
looking at doing this long term. Just be careful not to over extend
yourself.
It
does seem as though there would be a lot of writing involved, but if
you love to write as I do; then this won’t be a problem for you. Do
what you love to do, and try and find sites where you can write about
what you love, your passion will show through in your work. If you
are not a lover of the written word, then this may not be for you and
you could get burnt out. Forcing yourself to constantly do something
you don’t enjoy will eventually lead to procrastinating about
writing which won’t earn you any money whatsoever. You may start to
see the signs of an income in your Paypal account after a few months
and think this might work. There is nothing like earning an income
from home; and it may mean that one day you can give up your day job
and work at home in your PJ’s all day. Sounds good to me.
The
following list are sites that I write for and highly recommend:
Triond
– This was one of first sites I joined, and a great one for
beginners.
Wikinut
– Another good place to start, top content and friendly community
of writers
Bubblews
– The highest paying article site on the net; definitely worth
signing up for
Hub
Pages – This site offer many ways to earn, and has an excellent
reputation as a revenue sharing site
So
there you have it. Five places where you can get started and begin
building income and your online profile as a professional writer. The
beauty of these sites are that your articles will earn money as long
as you are still a member or until the site closes down. Be sure to
read their terms of service before joining up, as most sites will not
accept duplicate content. Always post original articles that are not
currently posted elsewhere. Even if the work is yours most of these
sites have strict rules about original work.
So
what are you waiting for? Get writing.

For those who are thinking of removing their Triond articles, I've found moving them over to Bubblews worthwhile. As you've mentioned, the earnings at Bubblews are far higher.
ReplyDeleteI hope Triond will work to recover, but in the meantime, writers may want to consider moving their articles to other sites to make up for lost revenue.
That's very useful blog post. We have to take care of our content and make aware yourself to new technology and events.

Hi Johny and Melody; thanks for the comments and the idea about Triond articles is a good one, and I am assuming it is allowed if they are your articles. I'm finding that traffic is increasing on my Triond articles but earnings are really low; I am not linked in with Google Adsense, for some reason there is a problem with Triond and Adsense, lots of other users are having trouble with this too and I am wondering if it comes down to the fact that there have been lots of plagarized articles posted there. I will stick it out there to see if it gets better as I do like the community there, however I think TPTB need come up with a better system to help their writers.
