How You Can Make Money by Writing Articles Online

How You Can Make Money by Writing Articles Online

If you like writing, there are many methods available to make money online.  The most common methods include:

1. Get paid by Sales

If you would like to get paid from the sale of your articles, Constant Content is the site for you. The articles you write be sold at the price you have set on them. On Constant Content there is a list of topics people look for, so make sure you familiarize yourself of these before writing your articles, ensuring you do write what people are actually looking for. You do then get paid when your article is sold. As the buyer ONLY buy a copy, you sell your articles as many as you can.

The amount of money you earn from Constant Content depends on how well your article sells. As per other web sites, Constant Content requires some professional knowledge in a given area. When selling your article, make sure the title and the abstract of your article is attractive enough so that people would want to pay to read.

2. Paid by Articles

With this method, you get paid each time your articles are accepted. Associate Content is one of these web sites, where you can write informative articles, career advice, research documents, professional advice, and other lessons. Many of the articles are just about your experience from everyday life.

Obviously, some topics get paid more than others. It does therefore pay to investigate the notes to work out the kind of articles people are looking for before you start writing. After you have written your article, you will need to submit your article. Sites such as Associate Content will then give you a price they would like to pay for your article. You can then either accept the payment or improve your article and try for more money. If you would like be paid by article, Associated Content is worth considering! Remember, when you get paid by article, you will only be paid once.

Associated Content has been the most popular web site people are writing articles for. Many writers make hundreds of dollars each month. They do also pay for Audio, Video, and Slideshow. If you can continue on submitting high quality articles, Associated Content may even invite you to write on specific topics and you will likely be paid much higher, such as over $20 per article.

When writing for Associated Content, you have no need to write long articles between 400 to 1000 words. In most cases you will be paid between $3 - $20 per article that is accepted.

3. Paid Every Time Your Article is Visited

This is an interesting ways to make money from writing articles, as you are paid each time your article is visited. Helium is the first and probably the best site that pays their network contributors this way.

Helium provides advice from ordinary people like you an me. All the articles listed are grouped by topics and get ranked by the reader. The higher the ranking of your article, the more you will get paid when they are read. Therefore by submitting high quality articles to Helium and by getting recognized by the reader will help make more money on Helium.

Tips to consider when Writing Articles

As you can see, making money online by writing articles is not very complex. If you pay attention to your normal everyday life, there will be many topics you can write about. Below you will find some great tips to consider when writing articles:

  1. Remember, content is King.  Try to write some high quality articles as it will help improve your earning potential and once you win the reputation in the communities, you will be almost guaranteed to get invited to write for some topics and earn even more.
  2. Once you finish the writing your articles, you can submit them to all the money making web sites discussed above, maximizing your earning potential.
  3. In your articles, try to write as much as possible.  Remember you won’t be rich by writing just 1-2 times.
  4. Don’t hesitate to express your thoughts.

My advice when writing articles is to be write true legitimate articles on topics that have that “I must share this with my friend” feel afterwards. Some examples are healthy eating, exercising, advice, and more. The easy part is to submit articles, but the hardest part is to write articles that builds a community. Sort of like a blog right? Except you are getting paid for every view your article gets.
