These days writing online can be very profitable, as long as you know where to publish your articles. If you are looking for websites where you can make extra money from writing, you may want to take a look at the top 5 get-paid-to-write sties on my list.

Squidoo: Squidoo is a website which allows people to publish articles (also known as lenses) and make money from ads revenue generated by those articles. They run multiple types of ads on the website such as Amazon, Ebay and Cafepress affiliate ads and Google Adsense ads. Unlike Hubpages, you do not need an account with any of these ad networks to make money writing on Squidoo. All you need is a Paypal account since their payment is delivered through Paypal. Squidoo.com will share 50% of its advertising revenue with you if you choose to receive cash as a reward. Alternatively, you have option to donate all your Squidoo income to charity.

Hubpages: Hubpages is another website which gives you a chance to get paid for writing articles. In order to make money on this website, you have to have accounts at the ad networks used on their site. For instance, if you want to earn money from Google Adsense advertisements, you need to have your own Google Adsense account. When you register on the site, you need to give them your Google publisher ID so that the Adsense money you earn from your hubs (articles at Hubpages) will be directly deposited into your own Adsense account. Hubpages.com currently shares 60% of Adsense revenue with their members. Besides Google Adsense, Hubpages also shares advertising revenue from Kontera, Amazon and Ebay affiliates. Again, you need your own accounts to earn money from these ad networks at Hubpages.

Shvoong: If you like writing short reviews, Shvoong might be the get-paid-to write site you are looking for. At Shvoong there is no minimum requirement for article length. So you do not need to worry that your article is not long enough to be published. Another good thing about Shvoong is that you don't need to write in English to get paid. This feature might be welcomed by people whose first language is not English. But Shvoong's revenue sharing rate is not as good as the two sites mentioned above. They only share 10% for original content and 5% for translated work. Similar to Squidoo, you don't need an ad network account to earn money on Shvoong. Their payment is made through Paypal or by check.

Xomba: Xomba is another website where you can write short articles to get paid. Actually you can even make money writing bookmarks on Xomba. If you have your own blog or website, you can bookmark your own blog posts or articles on Xomba, which is a great way to promote your work. To make money on Xomba, you do need your own Google Adsense account and/or Amazon affiliate account. Currently, they share 50% of their ad revenue with their content contributors.

Ground Report: This web site is a unique "get paid writing" site since it only pays people to write news reports. Members can share 50% of the ad revenue generated from their published content. The payment is delivered through Paypal. Unlike some other sites, Ground Report welcomes international members. No matter where you live, as long as you can write news in English, you have a chance to be paid at Ground Report.

In conclusion, if you want to find your favorite website to write on, you have to give them a try by yourself since you may have your own preferences.
