3 Sure Fire Ways to Make Money Writing Online

Get Paid to Write

Cindy Wright
I started looking for places to write and to make money online doing it, a long time ago. I found many places that never paid. Now After 5 years of research I have found 3 sure fire ways to make money writing online. I have always enjoyed writing and I knew there just had to be some where on the internet that I could get paid to do it.

The first place I found was Associated Content. I started writing for Associated Content in 2005. I enjoy writing for AC because I can write about whatever topic I choose. I have written about outdoor activities in Ohio, medical conditions, celebrities and I have had numerous interviews with artists such as Luke Bryan, Taylor Hicks and Bucky Covington. The wait time to have articles published and being paid is not long. Also you get paid for page views, which results in receiving money on an article many times over. You get paid anywhere from $4 -$20 for an article. Even if you do not receive upfront pay for an article you have written you will still get paid for page views.

Another sure fire way to money writing online is by writing a blog. I have two blogs through blogger and I use adsense. It took me 3 months to earn $100 for payout from adsense. The way I make the most money from my blogs is by writing for www.payu2blog.com. How payu2blog works is they give you a word or two that you have to fit into your blog post. Then you have to link those keywords to a certain link that they tell you. You get paid $5 for each post. What I like about payublog is I don't have to write a post about the product/keyword they are paying me for; instead writers just have to be creative and figure out how to fit the keyword into their regular post. My blog is a Taylor Hicks blog and sometimes fitting in a real estate keyword can be difficult, however I always seem to figure out a way to do it. I have been writing for payu2blog for 6 months and have made $350. They pay every two weeks.

The last sure fire way to make money writing online is Smorty. This one is not something easy to fit into the theme of your blog as you have to write reviews of the sites they pay you for but it is still a good way to make some money with your blog. I just started with Smorty and have made $28 for only 3 posts. Smorty pays within a week after accepting your post and it takes around five days to have your post accepted

All three of these sites pay you through PayPal and all three do pay every time. I have had great experiences with these three sites and highly recommend each one. If you enjoy writing and want to get aid for it then AC, Payu2Blog and Smorty are definitely the way to go.

    Cindy, Thank you so much for all these tips that are quite new to me. I'll try smorty and payu2blog.com too.

    I just started writing on AC this week and hope to get more exposure and income. I think you definitely have the right idea, finding the sites that work for you. The problem is that different sites work for different people, so finding the one(s) that work for you is no easy task. Wishing you luck in 2010.
