EARN MONEY WRITING
GET INSTANT ACCESS TO 200 SITES THAT WILL PAY YOU TO WRITE.
Plus: 10 Free Premium Tools to Help You Write and Get Published!
Being able to write and earn money online can be very rewarding. You can choose to work with the clients or websites that interest you most.
You also get to enjoy working at your own pace, setting your own price (as demand for your writing grows) and you get to enjoy a steady income.
However, for some, the idea of writing for others is not so satisfying. A career in journalism or writing articles is not for everybody.
If you want to earn money by writing online for others, here are 10 sites where you can get paid to write your own articles.
Wow Women on Writing: $50-100
Wow Women on Writing does one thing really well: They look after female writers, encourage them and genuinely seek to offer opportunities to budding freelancers. Their audience is diverse and all focused on providing excellent content for women.
Wow Women focus on innovative business, freelancing, and training. The articles are generally detailed and designed to help writers improve their skills and showcase their work. You have an option of either asking for a payment by Paypal or, if in the USA, by Check.
How to get started
Start by reading other Wow Articles. You will want to have an idea of the tone of the site. The site is informative, relaxed and excited about showcasing good writers.
- Ensure that you are not just duplicating their content and re-editing an old idea. Be creative.
- Wow will pay up to $150.00 for a 3,000-word feature article.
- Focus on being useful. How will your post help readers?
- Practical, actionable advice is what readers want with easy to follow steps.
Wow Women focuses on women, writers, and a monthly theme. I am not sure what they offer in terms of a link back to your own content in the articles but they do link back to your site from your Author profile.
Please note that they do not open attachments. Your article or pitch needs to be presented in plain text in the body of the email. Sending a Bio or a link to other published work is a good idea and will improve your chances of getting published.
Strong Whispers: $50 – $150
Strong Whispers offers readers a range of articles about lifestyle, environment and other social issues. The range is wide. Your contribution is not limited.
Articles can range from corporate greed to education reform or change in world leadership to letting the people govern and make decisions on the way we treat the environment and exploitation of resources.
How to get started
Article earnings are negotiable, but they typically pay $50-$150 per published article. They are willing to pay more for the right article and website aims to publish 2-3 guest posts per month.
Step 1: Send them your best outline for an article you would like to write along with your fee expectation. Topics need to be unique and have a high impact.
They also ask that you send your current blog URL or an URL to published work so they can understand your writing style. They will tell you if the topic is of interest to them and if your sample meets their review criteria.
Step 2: After you have been invited to write for them, go ahead, write your article and submit it for review. They won’t publish simply mediocre or just okay guest posts.
Each article must be well written, accurate, grammatically correct and original content. You will get to view their guidelines so you can be sure to tick all the boxes.
Step 3: After you submit your article online, it will be reviewed. After review you will receive one of 3 emails:
- Rejected – Poor quality.
- Requires minor changes
- Approved.
If approved, it will be set to publish either immediately or at a future date. Once set to publish, you will be paid via PayPal.
College Humour: $25 – $150
College Humor Media is an online entertainment company targeting a core audience of people ages 18-49.
Founded by two high school friends, College Humour Media delivers daily comedic content, including videos, pictures, articles, and jokes, created and/or curated by the College Humour staff.

How to get started
- Make a College Humour account.
- Go to the article submission page.
- Put in your funny article and hit “submit.”
- Wait for the editors to review your article. If they like it, they will send you an email
They will pay you $25 if they put your article on the Articles page, $50 if they put it on the homepage, and an additional $50 if it gets more than 100,000 views.
Cracked.com: $100 – $200
Cracked.com is basically a humour site. If you are a funny/smart/creative person, Cracked.com offers a good opportunity to earn some extra cash with article writing.
No experience necessary. They will pay you if it’s good. You get to talk directly to the editors. Their content includes articles, photoshops, infographics and videos. Take your pick.
How to get started
Register for the site, click on the writer’s workshop, which leads you to the message board where everyone pitches their articles.
You pitch an article idea by writing the article idea, along with the five subtopics under the idea, a full column, and the information.
- At the time of writing you get $100 per article.
- If you get up to five published articles, it goes up to $200 per article.
- If your article finishes in the top ten articles of the month (rated on website traffic.) you get a $100 bonus.
- You also get $100 for coming first in the Photoshop competitions of which I think they run two a week.
There is a bonus that runs in the design section also from time to time. It includes $500 for designing a winning T-Shirt, and a thread where you post (presumably humorous) infographics and they’ll pay you $100 if it’s featured on the site.

Watch Culture: $25 – $500
Watch Culture offers its news, opinion and entertainment coverage to millions of users world-wide each month.
As an online magazine based in the UK it covers the popular zeitgeist. Each day dozens of writers are earning money by publishing articles on Film, Music, Gaming, Sports, Television and much more to their ever expanding five-million a month strong audience.
Several hundred articles are posted every single week from contributors, some of which you will see from time to time on Sky News, Metro Radio, BBC Radio, Dublin FM and in the national newspapers.
How to get started
What Culture have begun rolling out a system entitling all writers to earn money from every article they contribute.
In the Beta testing phase some of the contributors have earned as much as £700 from one individual article. The system is based on a per views basis, rewarding the very best writers whose content matches what their audience wants to read.
Typically, writers who could come up with original concepts and execute them well have really reaped the big benefits.
If writing isn’t your thing, they are also planning to set up a larger video presence and are looking for talented filmmakers and YouTubers to produce high quality content for the site.
So if you think you’ve got what it takes to write interesting articles or create popular videos and make money while doing it, get in touch with them at editor@whatculture.com for more details.
If you’d prefer to chat on Skype, the address is ‘whatculture’. Or if you live anywhere near Newcastle in the UK, they can arrange a face-to-face meeting.
Developer Tutorials: $30 – $50
Developer Tutorial provides its users with a regular supply of programming and design guides keeping them up-to-date on new and emerging technologies and techniques.
To help fuel this effort they utilise freelance writers to produce unique, high quality tutorials in the following categories:
| AJAX | Flash | JavaScript | PHP |
| ASP | Illustrator | Linux | Photoshop |
| CSS | Java | MySQL | Python |
They are also looking for articles referencing cool and useful lists that users would both be interested in and benefit from reading.
An example of this might be, “30 Cool Web Tools to Make Your Development Easier” or “30 Awesome Photoshop Movie Poster Tutorials”.
They pay cash for your tutorials and list based articles so not only are you helping out fellow coders and designers but you are making more of a name for yourself as a freelance writer.
How to get started
Pay rates depend on factors such as the quality of the tutorial/article and the demand for the topic it covers.
- Pay rates for published list articles currently range between $30-$50.
- Payment is sent via PayPal immediately after your article is published.
- List based articles must target web developers or designers.
Tutorials are required to be a minimum of 1000 words and should include illustrations (screenshots etc) if needed to more effectively portray your message.
B. Michelle Pippin: $50 – $150
Michelle Pippin is looking for articles aimed at helping small businesses increase their profits, influence, or impact. Michelle Pippin provides sharp and high quality business and marketing content to a wide audience.
If you have some original work, a great idea or a hack for the business, marketing niche, this could be a site to consider. While the site focuses on women in business, it provides an even handed mix of articles on profit, entrepreneurial resources, marketing and case study articles as well as relevant news on the business world.
The site has a large audience and a wide mix of business and marketing related material.
Your articles don’t need to be too technical, as though they were being prepared for a peer-reviewed journal, but they should go beyond the basics.
Michelle will expect you to do the research and if it reaches her members only audience (which is a print edition) you will likely receive a bigger pay cheque.
Word count on the site for your average business or marketing article is about 800 words.
How to get started
- Obviously, your work must be original work.
- If your work gets published in my members only (print) newsletter, you’ll get paid more money, but you will not be able to republish your article elsewhere.
- Payment is on a per article basis and will be paid via Paypal on the 1st of the month following the month it is posted.
Don’t send over full articles. Just complete the form and tell them your areas of expertise. A short pitch should be fine but keep your offer short and sweet.
Metro Parent: $50 – $75
Metro Parent Publishing Group is open to experienced freelance writers to help build the content of their magazine and website. Their general goal is to have a good mix of fun and substantive local stories of interest to local parents.
Here are a few factors to consider before sending your pitch.
- Make it local. They are looking for stories and sources that reflect the communities they cover: Livingston, Macomb, Oakland, Washtenaw and Wayne counties. Therefore, southeast Michigan ideas and sources are preferred.
- Pitch early. Content for Metro Parent is determined months in advance. Story ideas should be pitched a good two to three months before the month it would run. This is particularly important for seasonally-anchored stories.
How to get started
If your article submission is accepted or you have been assigned a story, you should submit an invoice (within an email is fine) that includes name, address, phone number, Social Security Number, name of story and payment amount.
The invoice should be submitted within a week of submitting story.
- Features 1,000-2,500 words: $150-$350, depending on complexity of topic and number of sources required.
- Department columns: $50-75
- Parent Pipeline pieces: $35-50
- Reprints: $35
The finished story should be single-spaced with a hard return at each new paragraph. Do not indent for new paragraphs. And include only one space after punctuation marks.
- Include your byline plus preferred tagline
- Font should be Times New Roman, 14-point
- Include a suggested headline and/or dek
- Subheads (i.e., within the body copy) are strongly encouraged for stories 1,000 words or more.
Metro Parent prefer stories to be sent as a Microsoft Word attachment. For those who don’t have Word, send the story within the body of an email.
Be sure to include the name and phone number of sources at the end of story, in case they have follow-up questions.
Sitepoint: Visit Link for Pricing
Sitepoint writers are generally web professionals with a passion for development and design. Site Point are specifically looking for content that is technical, instructive, well-written and innovative.
Based in Melbourne, Australia, Site Point works with article writers from all over the world. The editors are web developers and designers at the top of the industry. They claim to pay above-industry rates for quality articles.
How to get started
Site Point cover the following topics:
- CSS, JavaScript, PHP
- Ruby, Mobile development, UX
- Design, HTML
You will have to enquire using the link above for rates and process.
Uxbooth: $100
Uxbooth is into design. I figured that much out. The rest of their site is gibberish. For example, their “About us” page begins with these words,
“The UX Booth is a publication by and for the user experience community. Our readership consists mostly of beginning-to-intermediate user experience and interaction designers..”
What that means is anybody’s guess. it might be good for the user-experience but it’s nigh useless if you were looking for a reading experience. Nevertheless, they offer you money to join them in the art of gibberish.
How to get started
Uxbooth does not accept fully written drafts outright. Instead, they pair authors with editors in order to collaborate throughout the writing process. It works like this:
- You pitch a topic or idea that you’d like to share. Don’t be shy!
- If accepted, a development editor is assigned to you in order to help you develop your narrative in accordance with their style guide. The two of you discuss and evolve the idea until it’s ready to share.
- That’s it! Articles are usually published four-to-eight weeks after they’re initially pitched.
- They pay $100 per article.

Norma,
You can create a blog or website (for passive income and portfolio) and monetize it with revenuehits or infinity ads, then add a Hire Me button and advertise the blog or website for free on Craigslist or with pay on people’s websites with Google Adwords.
thanks for the list.
Thanks for the Thanks!
I did not unerstand that how to make articles…………
Saif, article writing is a skill learned, like any other skill. To begin your learning I would suggest:
1. Write in the language you are most comfortable in.
2. Write about subjects you really like.
3. Read. Read all the time. Read the articles that are already being published online in the area you are most interested in.
Once you have a good knowledge of your subject and you have some ideas about where you might want to get published, hit me up for a chat. I will show you how to write up your article.
David.
Hi David, this is quite informative and I must say the little knowledge I had about article-writing websites and their rates has greatly been improved. I have a request though, do you have any account that you can help me out with. I am a beginner, a year to be specific, and still in college.
Fantastic stuff, I re-designed my site and the search rankings plummeted
I have added you in my reading list, keep up the interesting work.
Hi David,
I am a Finance and business writer even though I can write about other subjects as well. How can I get going? Any work available or links?
Thanks.
You could try Penny Hoarder. Those are both large fields so it would depend on your particular niche.
Hiii..

Practise is the key, Ghufran. Practise in your own language for your own people. Write about the things that you love in your own culture and community. You should also join a forum like Writers Digest and try and learn from other good writers.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
Asim, if you are new to writing and you want to make some money, you could comment writing. It’s easier than writing a whole article. You can sign up to Post Loop in the link toward the top of this page.
They pay money for writing comments. You will need to read the instructions and follow them carefully. But once you do, you can earn a little bit of money by writing comments online.
Hey David…
I also want to earn online….plz recommend me a website so that I may start earning……
PLZ…
Hi Waleed,
If you are new to writing online, you might want to start with something fairly simple – commenting for money. You will find a link near the top of this article. If you feel confident, you could try signing up for scripted.com for single jobs that pay better, you could try Blogging Pro’s Job Board here: http://www.bloggingpro.com/jobs/
Awesome article! In my opinion, if you’re already writing, why not start a blog? A Blog is one of the most effective ways to make a long-term sustainable income online.
Blogging is HUGE! You just have to know how to tap into it correctly. I started a blog in the “cooking” niche which is my passion less than 6 months ago. I’ll admit, my first couple months we’re definitely a struggle. Luckily I found a “blogging success” blueprint so to speak, and ever since then, I’ve been averaging $200+ per day..and that’s without any of my own products. All through affiliate sales.
Once again, great article! I’ll be subscribing for more!
Hi, the comment that you post really grabs my intention since I’ve been struggling for years to earn money on the internet. Thanks so much, David.
My pleasure Harold.
Hi Jackie,
How did you manage to gain success?
I’ve been thinking about starting a blog, in the hopes that I could get a full time career out of it, but I’m not sure where to begin!
There are so many blogs out there, so much that I can’t shake the doubt that nothing will come of it.
Your help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Lisa
Thanks a lot, i will be glad to help you let me know how.
Please suggest best affiliate sites for the blog . I want to earn at least $5 per day through the blog . Also, tell which sites are best that gives money to comment.
This is a great website for my article writing needs.
Thanks Gerald, glad you like it.
Hi David
I’m so happy to have come across your post. If possible, can you email so we can chat some more? I have been doing content writing for a while now, but I’m hoping to start taking it to the next level. I’d love advice from someone who is knowledgable in the industry.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Nick
Hi Nick,
Happy to help if I can. Let me know what kind of questions you had and I will do my best.
Thank you for the great articles. You did a great job putting them together.
Regina
This article surely helps, thanks David.
Are you looking for the best tool on the Internet these days? Are you looking how to make more money on the Internet? Do not waste your time ! Get it right now!
Hi Sonia. No, not really looking for any tools. I find that I get plenty of tools leaving comments on the blog and don’t need to go looking for them.
Thanks for the tips! But I have a query. I submitted an article on What Culture but I think it is small. Will it be rejected because of the article being small?
Hi Raajit. Glad you like the article. Though I am not a decision maker at What Culture, I have given it some thought and yes, your article will be published and you will go on to have an awesome career in publishing. You may even win a prize of some sort one day. Well done and congratulations in advance!
David Sir, you are being funny. But thanks for the encouragement!
Yes, Raajit, I was being funny because, without actually seeing the article – and since I do not own What Culture – I have no way of knowing whether they will accept it or not. If you want to send me a copy of the article I will be happy to take a look at it.
Please give me your email id so I may sen you the article.
Thanks for this site. This site really helpful to write article for every new writer.
No worries Nahida. Good luck.
Hello am a full time writer can you recommend to me any client who has writing projects
Hi Morris, check out some of those listed in the post. Also check out Pro Bloggers job listings.
Hi,
Thanks for the list but do you have a site that one can just register and get articles to write?
I have been freelance writing since August and have a lot of education background in science, graphic design and political science. I found some academic writing sites that pay very well for writers with a higher education.
There are others, but none pay as good as this one. The support is great and you can call them with any issues. I recommend this only for writers with a strong background in writing academic essays. There is no startup fee but you will need to provide a transcript to prove your educational ability prior to bidding and sending proposals.
After a week I had 10+ invitations to write daily. I’m supporting my family and enjoying more time at home. Best of luck everyone, stick with it!
Hi , i want to write on some topics related to science and human moral development.what may be the best site for me in order to start writing and earning money as early as possible.
Some of these sites are fine – Cracked in particular is great – but I would be really careful about promoting WhatCulture to anyone.
I’ve heard some real horror stories from many, many people about them. They have a history of plagiarism, which they went to great lengths to cover up. They’ve lied about job descriptions so that they can trick people into doing free work for them. They’ve withheld pay from their writers and refused to pay others all that they are owed.
Maybe if you want to get a tiny amount of cash for an article titled ‘Best Sex Scenes Evah’ they’re fine, but otherwise I wouldn’t risk being exploited.
Never! Thanks for the feedback. We update this list all the time to keep it useful. If you find a site that’s reliable, let us know.
Couldn’t agree more. I have never written for them but, having seen friends do so, I have spoken to them about the possibility. They were the most childish, unprofessional people I have ever interacted with. Petty nerds, quite frankly.
Since then, my friends have either left or been forced to leave their writing duties because of the incompetence and harshness of the idiots in charge. Matt (editor in chief) is an idiot in particular. Peter is also a moron.
Thanks Ellie. I think it’s time I gave WhatCulture the boot. If you know of a good alternative, let me know.
Really an inspiring article with earning keys…. thank you…. I want to know that I am from India.may I earn through these sites…. ? With regards… let me know sir…
This list is like a treasure to the writers. They will surely enjoy this list. I would like to ask one question. Why did you mentioned the name as “Watch Culture” in your list when its real name is “What Culture”. I didn’t got that. Is there any specific reason behind it or it’s just a typo?
I am a homemaker,currently i do surveys online and earn 2 to 3000 per month. I am looking for some better options to earn more will you please guide me.
Hi David,
This is awesome, thanks for the information!
Just wondering, what do you think is the best way to get my blog successful enough to pay the bills?
Have I got a better shot posting articles for these companies, or running a blog myself?
Lisa
Lisa, It depends on the niche your blog is in – and how competitive the niche and how you monetise it. Yes, you can make a good income writing for others, and in many ways it is less stressful – once you have the client base. Then again, building up your own online writing business or blog can be very rewarding.
Give us a shout if you would like to have a chat about your particular situation.
Cheers,
David.
Hi David,
I was leaning towards health and fitness. Unfortunately this is an extremely common subject, so if I end up having a go at this, I need to find a new and interesting way to portray it… to seperate myself from all the other fitness bloggers.
Any help/advice would be great.
Lisa
You are right. The niche is highly competitive and standing out is hard. You have a couple of options, but both require the same precision. You could start your own blog or you could write for others.
One involves you marketing yourself to targeted (and well developed) websites, the other involves you marketing your own website and then finding a way to monetize it.
The precision issue is this: You need to narrow your niche interest down to one, or three elements at the most.
Sit down and come up with a list of all topics related to your interest. Health and fitness is generic, competition too high. So you want to aim at just one niche market in that industry.
For example, your speciality might be:
Women’s Fitness Programs. You could review and recommend them – a nice affiliate opportunity right there.
Weight Training for Women
Exercising from Home
Fitness training for mums…
You could even get more specific:
Weight Training for Mums at Home (Ewk! – but again, a nice affiliate opportunity there).
Belly Gym for Working Women – Entirely focused on one aspect of fitness and health, say, Daily exercise tips for working women that help maintain a figure.
The key factor is this – be precise. Start within a very narrow niche and become an authority on it. Then build from there once you begin having success. Become the Belly Gym Expert for working women.
There is a great angle right there – feel free to use it! I see that, amazingly, the domain is available – it’s a great short, easy to remember domain name and business title – quick grab it before I do! [www.bellygym.com]
All the best, Lisa.
Hi.
Thanks for the heads up. This is my first venture into writing an article. Can you suggest a site(s) where I can be able to practice and have my “work” assessed?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thomas,
Most sites won’t give you a lot of helpful feedback unless they know you well. Most times it will simply be yes or no to your submission.
You can send your article to me for assessment if you like and I will be happy to direct you to the most likely sites to publish your work.
Hi.
I am student of 11 grade. And I wanna make my self fully equipped with English writing. So, I was suggested to put my glance on this website and you get every thing. I expect that you will email me with warm welcome. Regards. Abdul Rafio Memon.

sir
I like to earn money by article writing and registration. please provide me guideline. thanks.
Subscribed and really enjoyed reading this post! I am sure you have other posts that give your readers some tips about the many differences to article submission guidelines, right! Probably it’s great practice to get your first articles approved by ezine articles or hub-pages (guess one of my last rushed works I wanted to add to hub-pages wasn’t approved uuh ooh) to have happy readers. Please let me know about these. I would also like to share this or any other post or article you would recommend with my “How To Make Money Online Newsletter Readers? Please let me know! Thanks again for your work! Respectfully, Oliver Ohene-Dokyi
Awesome list. I would like to recommend one more that pays you for guest blogging. Web Tool Hub.
Thanks for this article. I have been searching for information on this topic for a while and your article has encouraged me to get started writing.
Online business is all about the content. If content is king for your website you will do OK.
Thanks a lot David.
Now a day’s content writing is not an easy affair for everyone due to high competition and due to plagiarism matter. It needs creativity and mind power. There are a numerous websites are coming to the internet everyday and those sites needs fresh and unique contents. Writing articles online can provide you money and fame. yes you are right there are a number of sites who are providing enough money for articles to add their site. That’s why freelancer content writers are getting enough writing projects with lots of money.

Great article! Thanks a lot David.

Hi Odesk. What an unusual name you have. Thanks for your comments.
Hi
Sir I have read over 150 books in past 4 years and my thirst for reading didn’t end so I started reading articles and then began writing short stories.
Here I found your blog which really spurred me to take a step further. To earn through writing.
Nice list, good work, my question is have you ever tried one of this ways of article writing?
G’day, Hitesh. Yes, I have. It is hard work, but once you get a foot in the door it becomes easier.
David, really a good work done by you. I am also interesting in write articles. Thanks for your help.
I also want to start something in article writing but I am not getting a start
Hi David,
Thank you, I need a piece of advice I have good experience of writing essays, reports, articles and dissertations for universities in UK and Australia. I want to make it big. I will appreciate if you could guide me through.
Thank you,
Sonu Sran
Hi
At The Daily Heckle, we pay between £10 and £20 for articles. We’d love to be on this list.
Malcolm
Hi Malcolm, thanks for stopping by. That sounds doable. Check you inbox for my email.
Hi David,
Thanks for your information. It really will be very helpful for me. I was helpless thinking what have to do. But now I’m thinking there are something by which I can start.
THANKS for the list David!! Did I say thank you?…THANKS A MILL!! 😀
This is a very useful list of content writing websites that pay upfront payments. On top of that, as Lisa has suggested, a writer should not overlook the option of setting up his/her own blog, and using Adsense monetization. Blogspot and WordPress are the most popular free blogging platforms. Or use IZEA and other websites where a writer can find sponsored article opportunities.
I am amazed with the fact that Penny Hoarder can pay up to $800 or What Culture up to $700, for a single article, as you have mentioned! Is it how incremental payments add up?
Of course, I wouldn’t even try Ceramics.org, since I am totally ignorant on this topic. This is regardless of how much I would be tempted to write a 5,000-word article for the incredible amount of $950. This is definitely a niche market.
Perhaps another established market for online writers is Constant Content, as it has been testified by writers that make a decent income there.
Thanks for the tip on Constant Content, Barge.
It all sound good. A bit complicated but good.
Hi David,
Thank you for the insightful article. I’m impressed at your willingness to help and give advice to those who request it and that’s why I have decided to seek your help and guidance.
I’ve been blogging for 7 months now and while making money isn’t my primary focus yet I was wondering if you could guide me on how to carve a niche for myself writing football articles and also on how to make money writing sport articles. Writing football is my passion.
Many Thanks
Hi Paul, I have replied with some suggestions to your email address. Give me a shout if I can be more helpful.

every second , so it’s nice thing writing and earn something for our family.
I was just looking at your Best Article Writing Sites for Earning Money Online website and see that your site has the potential to get a lot of visitors. I just want to tell you, In case you didn’t already know… There is a website service which already has more than 16 million users, and most of the users are looking for topics like yours. By getting your site on this service you have a chance to get your site more visitors than you can imagine.
I am interested in writing articles on God and faith. Are there any websites that are interested in Spiritual uplifting and do they pay?
I also have a handbag business. Do you think I can write articles about women’s handbags.

Sir David
Writing is a wonderful skill to attract people according to their mental requirements. The difficulty is how to judge the mind of the people; whether, your written stuff will have impact on their mind or not. Is there any suitable gauge exist to determine the liking of audience before writing our stuff or consulting others?
Hi David!
This was very useful. I am currently taking some time off work and was exploring writing opportunities online, and came across your article. I have been writing for a while now but have never published anything (online). I have done a lot of report writing, case studies and success stories for organizations working in the development sector. I am working on a research article nowadays and hoping to have it published some time in the near future.I was wondering if you could provide any direction regarding sports websites that are in need of freelance writers. It is an area of interest and I think I may be able to contribute.
Thank you!
Hi David,
I’m glad I have come across your site 🙂 it seems vey helpful indeed. My aim is to earn money through online writing. I have written several articles and I want to send you one of them to you for assessment if it is possible.
Thanks in advance

Sir,
i want to earn money by writing articles, but i don,t know the procedure of it.
Kindly tell me how can i registered myself and how can i get articles topic for writing?what should i do for it?
Hi Hussain, use the list in this post to find a good article writing site. Make sure you choose a site that writes about the things you like.
Hello friends,
I am a blog writer and article I am going to start write where I can earn after posting blogs, articles and comments, likes, reviews, etc on each and every thing you will get a flight point which will convert in to money and that will be paid by cheque. This is very easy way to earn money by working from home. By writing blogs and articles you can earn money for writing.
Thanks for dropping by, Vipin. All the best with your writing.
Fantastic list!
I’ve my favorite sites that I use to get freelance assignments. Plus, I’ve my clients.
But it’s always good to discover new resources and places to look for more job opportunities.
Thanks for the share, David! 🙂
G’day Erik. Glad you found it helpful. All the best with your money making efforts and your writing clients.
Hello…this has lots of information. Thanks for such nice article.
Sir, I have read all these suggestions, which websites that hire writers to post about computer games and hardware /software technology would you recommend?
Faraz, I would start with Dev Tutorials, Tutts and SitePoint, depending on your niche.
Please can you help and guide me to how to start my own blog? I have lived in Africa spent a lot of years in Asia. I have a huge experience on what life is all about in these parts of the world. I have mingled with the locals and seen a lot.
Thanks
Hi Nathan. Sure, happy to help. What kind of help did you want?
Hi David.
This Article is very helpful and informative.
Please can you tell me the sites in which I can write Articles on Football. I’m a huge Arsenal Fan 🙂 and I can write short or long Article about Arsenal or about English Premier league. I have been watching EPL for the last 5 years.
Even though I don’t have any experience in writing Articles….
But I believe in myself. I have been practising on writing Articles for about 3 months now.
Just need an opportunity….so can you tell me any site other than Watch Culture where I can write Articles on Football and can make decent amount of money..
Syed, you could get a regular gig on gfe sport. Even if they don’t pay you, you would get exposure that helps you fill out your resume. Email them. If you do well, then you will be able to point to those articles when talking to paying gig sites – they always ask for published samples.
Okay. Thanks for the help David. I’ll try it out.
After searching for information on writing online and only finding sketchy results, this list of actual paying sites instead of craigslist click bait was quite refreshing.
I’m 23, and I graduated with an English degree last year. I am confident in my writing ability; I only need to learn how to write for the online market. Is it really that simple? Just write and submit to these sites? Or are there other things to learn, like the proper citation format for sources and links in your article, how to write a query letter, maintaining/knowing your rights….I noticed that most authors/bloggers have a personalized “signature” or banner at the bottom of their article, along with their email and picture. Are these provided from the site, or are they made and coded by the authors? I understand making a blog is crucial to creating an online presence, but I’m wary of spending too much of my time writing for free. I’m not looking to make a living at the moment; I just need a second income. I’m in Canada, if location makes any difference. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you,
-Mel
Hi Mel. If you just want to earn a little extra in your spare time then writing for others is ideal. You don’t have to worry about having or maintaining a website. As far as writing for free goes, your blog is an investment. It’s a property. Every link that points to it and every bit of good quality content that you write on it is increasing its value in real monetary terms. So, if you love to write, you are not really writing for free. You are increasing the value of your site with every article.-
Hi, David! An excellent article you have here! I’m sure it’ll help many other people (sure did give me a lot of information).
My question is; what do you think about sites that pay you per view/share/like and so on? I’m talking about sites like HubPages, Bubblews etc. I’m sure you know about them. Apparently, they pay 1 cent ($0.1) per view or something similar. Do you think it is possible to expose articles written for them enough to earn a significant amount of money?
Some sites pay for ad clicks as well (like HubPages). Do you think it’s worth the time, or not? I’ve been doing some research, and I found many people who claimed to have earned $300~$900 as ‘passive’ income through such sites.
Thanks for giving your time to read this.
Regards,
K. Joshi
Sites like that tend to have a small handful of users who are genuinely making money, the rest of us are just propping up the site with all our hard work and articles. It’s not the way for a serious writer to go if they want to put bread on the table. Aim high.
Thanks for the list. There are innumerable opportunities available these days for on line content writing but this goes without saying that the content should original and fresh enough so as it brings a good deal of traffic on your website.
hi, I’m new to the writing world but would love to make some money online, what advice and / or suggestion would you give
Thank you so much David.
No worries, Shanu. I hope you find a site you can write for and make a profit from. Good luck.
Your article is very helpful for me. I will follow your instruction. Thank you.
HI Habib, thanks for your feedback. All the best.
In my view, earning money online depends on how much traffic you will be able to generate for your blog. Super targeted traffic is essential if you are going to be able to make your money via online.
Hello, sir i am from india i want to know that if i am living in india. So can i writing for cracked.com or some other site from india. Please reply me sir…
Thank you
Thanks for providing such great value information. Sharon.
Halo Sir,
Really Tnx for your article.
It is really very helpful.
I have a ques in my mind and i would like to ask you that.
Is there any site where i can post article about any subjects and if it is choosen then they will pay?
The name of the sites you have mentioned are quite good about choosing there own criteria and then writing about that,but i am lookin for a site that is open for all.
I would really be grateful if u kindly ans my ques.
Eagerly waiting to hear from you.Tnx.
Thank you so much for compiling this 🙂
It’s nice to know I don’t have to settle for .005 cents per every 1000 views like a lot if theseller ridiculous sites .
Thanks Nicole. Yes, you can earn a living writing, but you have to start strong and really bring focus to all of your marketing and content – not just the content you create.
Oh….I am very grateful to find your article since I was looking for the way to earn money through my writing skills. I do hope that I can prove that earning from home is true, since nobody (around me) could not believe that. Thank you, David. Hope the best for you.

How can I commence content writing to earn money.
Hi, Great Cover Article. People should follow your tips to make money. Passive Money Ideas to submit Article on Making Money Online.
When you’re just getting started to make your own home business, you need to sit down and think. You should also write down what you need to do, just so you can reference your notes later. You’ll need notes, because if you want to start a business, there’s a lot of things you need to consider.
What are my skills? What are my talents? What can I do to make money? Those are just a few of the many questions you should ask yourself. You need to know what your skills are, just like you need to know your talents. If you can combine those two elements together, you’ll have a way to start generating ideas for a business opportunity.

avid,
You doing really a good job. I have got so many tips from your article. Thanks.
David, I like writing about philosophy, time travel, all that stuff related to human existence, how human were created, who created us. If God created us were did they go, were they people from another solar system, another Galaxy, witches, superstition, ghost, spirit, life after death, metaphysics, the beauty of nature. I write about how I feel when the cold wind passes by me touching every part of me, and the moon struggling hard to shine as bright as she can despite of the dark cloud making all their effort to cover the moon. The sun, the running river, etc, etc. All this stuff which people don’t talk much about. All my writing are only thoughts that run through my mind. I don’t have strong evidence to prove my thoughts and that’s what make me not to publish my articles. I try searching for the niche familiar to my writing’s. But I find none.
Do you think , there will be a niche related to such topics. If yes, please do let me know. Yes, I too can write article on any niche if I give time and research on it. But, my priority goes to the above outline I mention which is very rare in the world of Internet I guess.
Thank you.
best regards

Hi, As you know, Paypal doesn’t support some countries. Do you know some websites which pay online money with alternative payment methods? If yes, I will be very grateful to send their list to my email address.
thanks
Hi, after reading your article, I have been boosted up and want to do something which I have been afraid of…I am into writing poetry a lot and fiction is my interest. I have started a wordpress blog and posting into it whenever I can and so I want to know, what should I do with my poetic talent to start earning money.
Hmmm, wish I had good news, Graham. Most Poets don’t make their money until they are returned to the dust from whence they came.
Its one of the best posts full of good resources on writing content. I have not visited all of the sites yet but I am going to check them all one by one. Thank you so much.
Great information. God bless you!
Amazing Content!! Making money from home is made so simple now and days! i didnt have a penny to my name last year, and i currently make 1,500 a month from the simple steps given by David at Mallee Blue Media. This is a great company to learn self development, entrepreneurship, and how to generate an extra income!!
Great content is an essential need for every website. I was really upset and discouraged when I wasn’t getting good traffic due to my bad content for my website readers. I found an agent who provides awesome contents for my website. Now I enjoy traffic with ease and joy because I know I have audience who will be reading. I have been using his writing services for sometimes now and he is the best so far.
This is just the sort of straight forward points I love to see!
It makes things clear and great to understand Thaniks 🙂
Most of online business is about affiliate marketing and ecommerce but there is almost no leverage because there is lots of hard work involved and everybody know that it’s tough to make money that way. Anyone can spend a bit of time understanding the new business model and make money effortlessly regardless you’re newbie or not.
Thanks for the writing site update. Finding a site that pays well is difficult for all writers, you shed a bit of light on the subject.
No problem, Marlene. Glad it was helpful.

I want to write stories and articles on life,travel,sales thought process etc but i don’t have that much good communication skill for English. I want to know is that possible to write those articles or stories in Hindi as well to earn some money and fame if I am capable to.

David,
I am not a professional writer but on regular bases I try to write something new related to Life,relation,career,politics etc.
My max blogs or stories are about relationships and politics.
Interesting piece of writing. I will be joining some of these websites. Thank You, even if I am late.
Inside the top 10 of my favourite posts, thankyou!
hai!!
I know Hw to write a movie of social life bt has no one to help me. Now think I have an idea ..
David,
Thanks for the article! I’m a teacher in China (from the US), and I’m looking for ways to supplement my salary because I only actually work about 20 hours a week. I have lots of time to do other work, but my contract prohibits me from taking on tutoring and the like.
Anyway, I realized I can get away with working online, and I’ve been looking for a venue ever since. I considered Textbrokers, and I may try that approach, but I wasn’t aware that there are more substantial opportunities out there for entry-level freelancing until I read your article. I tend to underestimate myself and overestimate the competition, but I’m realizing that I likely have a good chance of making some money and enjoying writing. I wrote some feature articles in magazines in the past, and I have a degree in English. Even though it’s been a while, I suppose the sort of writing you suggest would actually be doable for me.
Another option I considered is technical writing of some sort. Do you know of any entry-level opportunities?
Thanks, again, for the heads-up!
Jared
Jared, thanks for your comments and feedback. I think writing is a good way to earn a living, but it does take time to build up a convincing portfolio. All the best.
Hi there,
These are the really very good article sites. i want to start writing, these sites will really help me out.
Thanks
Hi there! This blog post couldn’t be written much better!
Looking through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept preaching about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a great read. Thak you for sharing!
Being a new bird , it takes a lot of time to understand the proper road to reach at the destination , but your information is truly precious. I am from India and have started my work as a reviewer.
Thanks
Hey Deepak, glad it was helpful.
Am I the only one who only sees 4/10 here? Where are the other 6 websites?
Yes, Lou, you are the only one. Everybody else clicked either Like, Tweet or Google +1 – 😉
SEO has never really had a proper home. Because it’s technical, it’s best suited for workers who have learnt the business and have practical experience. This can be quite rare with a lot of professionals though.
Thank you for making a list of some great websites. I too am a blogger and am working on a small website. Though this would be a great opportunity for me to earn more.
I suggest also adding targetwriters.com to this list.
Hi Iris, I’ll go and have a look at that site and see if it might be useful to our readers. Thank you for the suggestion and all the best with your own business.
Amazing list of websites websites which are useful.
I’m glad you found this useful. These sites are reliable and we keep the list of websites that will pay you to write articles online as up-to-date as possible.
Thanks for all of this really helpful information. It’s going to help me to improve my writing and also look for new opportunities to write better content online.
No problem Carrie. I’m delighted that you’re being helped by the article. It provides ample knowledge and information on how you can access sites that will pay you to write online.
