As someone who has written hundreds of articles for a wide variety of
publications in the past, I have noticed it's getting increasingly difficult to
break into different markets. More and more magazines are writing their
articles in-house, so the market for freelancers is shrinking further every day.
So I turned to the internet to see if there were any markets in cyberspace that
I could submit to, and earn some cash along the way.
It was an eye opening journey. I'd never heard of blogging before (yes, I'm a
novice really, did you guess?), but I've found two sites that look promising. blogcharm.com
looks to be in its early stages, but the site is easy to
navigate and hopefully will develop as it settles down. The other good looking
site is writersup.com
, which is a little more established, and I've heard
good things about it. Both pay you a percentage of advertising revenue
generated when people read your blog and click on the ads nearby.
I've also dipped a toe into constant-content.com
, which is free to post
articles on, and you set your prices for people to buy them from you to post on their own websites. My toe is now well into this particular pond, as I've sold over ninety articles to date.
It's true to say there are a lot of scams on the net, but don't tar everyone
with the same brush. There are a lot of good guys out there as well. It's well
worth searching for a few hours to find the pearls. Try helium.com
- the most popular questions asked on that site involve working from home, and
how to earn money working on your computer, or over the net. And join Helium as a member to earn some cash every single time someone reads one of your articles.
If you want to earn money online by using your writing skills, the information
is out there - you just need to persevere in finding it. Try out the sites
mentioned above - you could be earning sooner than you think. Good luck!
