There are many sites that promise to pay you for your writing, but there are also a lot of sites that promise high earnings for low amounts of work. I only promote products and sites and services that I know are legitimate.
- Constant Content – Constant Content is a great for those who are working full time or looking to work full time as writers. Unlike revenue sharing sites, Constant Content allows you to post your own articles that people can purchase outright. While CC does take a commission, because you set the price yourself, you can earn top dollar for your work. Be warned, however, that they only accept quality, professional content, and some articles and writers may be rejected.
- Squidoo.com – Squidoo is one of the most fun sites on which to create content. They use modules, allow you to promote affiliate products, and you earn a share of the revenue, as well. Each Squidoo page is called a “lens” and you can create them on any topic you wish.
- InfoBarrel.com – InfoBarrel is a relatively new article site, but the unique thing about this site is that they allow you to use your own Google Adsense account and your own eBay account when earning money. You keep 75% of the revenue from Adsense on InfoBarrel. You can also edit the work of others.
- Bukisa.com- Bukisa is also fairly new for writing online, but there has been some success. Bukisa pays you based on the success of your articles, but also by the success of the articles written by those you recruit to write for the site. The passive income potential for this site is huge, because you earn a percentage of what the people you recruit earn, and that is wonderful because you don’t have to write to make money.
- eHow.com – eHow is a popular site for beginning writers, but the format limits writers to “How To” articles. While the writers are paid a share of the ad revenue, it is not disclosed how much. Additionally, the site is currently experiencing some technical problems that make it hard for writers to track their earnings.
Overall, there are many great sites that will pay you to write. I recommend exploring the ones that interest you. I have accounts with all of the sites listed above and they all contribute to my monthly income.
What are some of the sites you enjoy writing for?

I have checked out Associated Content, and that is one that I haven’t written on. I know they offer some residual income, but I personally find their pay structure to be on the low end compared to the other sites.
Thanks for the comment, and if you do well on AC, I would love to hear about it!
Associated Content pays also, if you have not checked out that site you should do so. I am a category editor for them, you get upfronts + performance pay. Upfronts range from $3-$12.
Demand Studios also pays very well, $15 for an article and $5 for fact sheets. They are partnered with eHow.
Thank you, I will make that correction!
Your Today.com info is out of date re: what is offered to new bloggers signing up.
I am doing “okay” with Squidoo, but it is not a major source of income for me. Rather, I use it as a way to drive traffic to my sites and get a decently-ranked backlink to my sites. Anything else is just gravy for me. I think the key to a successful Squidoo lens is finding a niche that is underserved and writing for that niche. The lenses are fun to make, but they have yet to pay off greatly for me, other than as mentioned above.
I’d love to hear if you ladies are experiencing success with Squidoo. I enjoy the process of building lenses but getting traffic to them and making money from them seems to elude me.
Lindsay, I am a big fan of yours, so I am happy to see you on my blog.
I started writing for other sites before I launched into writing for this site as well as my niche blogs. I prefer writing for myself, too.
Squidoo is a lot of fun and bizarrely addictive once you get going. I didn’t like it at first, but that was my own misunderstanding of how they could work for you. I think it is a lot more fun than most sites, and the communities are a wealth of information.
I started my own sites before all the paid-to-write sites came along, so for good or ill I’ve focused on my own stuff.
Still, I have an account on Squidoo. It’s more fun than most of the sites that just encourage you to write articles. The community is nice too.
