Websites That Pay Freelance Writers

Examiner.com is a relative newcomer to the content website world, however many writers are finding it easy to make a good bit of money with relative ease. Examiner pays per page view, not based on adsense revenue sharing or with low upfront pay.

This means that high search topics such as sports will be better than high ad-click-payment topics like travel and financing. The key to making money with Examiner is to carefully select your topic.

Hubpages is similar to squidoo except that hubpages has more focus on Google Adsense as a form of revenue and doesn't seem to be as flexible as Squidoo lenses are. I love the ease with which hubpages go up and find it very simple to add YouTube videos and other hub enhancements. The split of adsense revenue is stated up front making it more transparent than some of the other sites which do not disclose the payment formulas.

Associated Content has been around for quite awhile and is popular with many writers because they offer not only a revenue-share or page-view payment model, but also an upfront payment model.

While I have not contributed new content in several months, I average $10 per day there with only 40 articles. When I was contributing regularly I averaged $8 in upfront pay which is more than suggested titles will earn you at Demand Studios.

I dislike the lack of editing after publishing that I have there, whereas most of my other sites and blogs have the ability to edit articles after publication to clean up any typos. But Associated Content has created a more streamlined appearing website recently so the design aspects look a lot better. Pay comes via PayPal and is doled out on a regular basis - I usually get paid every week or two.

Suite101 has two levels of participation - you can be a Contributing Writer or a Feature Writer. Contributing Writers are required to post 10 articles in a rolling, three-month period but the articles can go into any topic category. Feature Writers must post one article per week minimum in their topic area, but can then contribute additional articles in other areas as well.

Suite101 pays an undisclosed percentage of adsense revenue income through Google adsense. The "Google juice" that Suite101 has is truly amazing - an article posted on Suite101 will usually be indexed within an hour or two and appear in search engine results almost immediately. Truly astounding how quickly it happens.

I make enough from Suite101 each month to cover my mortgage payment. See more about my experience with Suite101 for greater details.
