Writing Sites that Offer Upfront Payments

Freelance writing is one of the hardest jobs to make enough money when starting off since you are working by yourself. When I started off, I actually stated at Hubpages in March 2008 but didn't take it a bit more serious as in July 2008 for Ehow. In that short time between then and now, I took the time to connect with other writers and made a new friend whom I convince to join the same arena as I am in. Using all or any of these sites is possible to make at least a grand or more a month. Here is the list of sites worth writing for.

1. Associated Content: For upfront payment, the lowest I was told was .99-$20 an articles depending on how unique it was. You get residual income when you have 1,000 views for $1.50. Some people have better luck than others on getting upfront payment on all of the articles but keep writing on here since if you write for a while, you have the chance to get writing assignments up to $25 each.

2. Wisegeek: They are currently looking for writers and they pay $10 an article. I was one of the unfortunate people that didn't get accepted to write for them twice on applying to write for them. There are others that got lucky though. Email them and they will give you instructions on how you can apply to be one of their writers.

3. Internet Brands: The pay in between $4-$10 an article depending on what it is. I don't know too much about this company but they have a posting at freelancejobopenings where they are currently now looking for writers.

4. Demand Studios: Almost everyone I know have heard of them before. The pay is $15 an article with no residual income. I am currently waiting to get a reply back from them to see if I will be lucky enough to write for them. They are not just looking for writers but have some other jobs on there to apply for.

5. Brighthub: I don't know too many writers that write for them but the pay is $10 an article with residual income added in. If you don't qualify to be one of the lucky writers, you should definitely take the advice where they stated you should participate in the discussions on certain areas you wanted in and they might later on consider you.

6. Textbroker: A lot of writers I know writes for them too. The pay is pretty low to start off if you started off with a 2 or a 3 star. The higher the star rating that you write, the more money for each articles you will get. You get in between $1.00-$25.00 an article depending on the word count and how much the clients are willing to pay for a certain amount of words.

7. Qualitygal: She is always looking for freelance writers and the pay is $12 an article. In my opinion, there is somewhat more work to it than just writing articles for her and not just research. But if you like the challenge, check out the site at qualitygal.com

8. Content Current: They might not have way too many writing work but they do bring in some extra money. The rate of pay is $8 an article.

9. Just Articles: I introduce this to a writer mama friend of mine and had this article up on ehow. The guy pays either $8 for 300-400 words and $10 for 400-500 words. The articles have to do with home business. If you have some knowledge about this, then you don't need to do too much research. But be creative when writing for him. He starts you off with a writing test but he would pay you for it.

10. Need An Article: Last time I check, you have to have at least 3 years of writing experience and the pay is $5 an article. Since I didn't qualify to be one of their writers, I don't know much about what kind of articles they have to offer.

11. WriterWrangler: Corena is a wonderful lady to talk with and she sometimes have writing jobs which she pays you $5 for each one completed. You need to contact her and she will give you the site to sign up under since she wants you to be at her forum to nab the job. She notify you through email if she have any writing work and sometimes come to wahm.com forum to notify others.

Just as much as I enjoy writing this piece, I hope you find my piece pretty informative and somewhat entertaining. Whether you use all of these sites or just one, just remember to do the articles on a daily basis and the money will come. All of them pretty much pay through paypal and very few with a check. Get started on applying to be one of their writers.
