I Write Online for Money

I am not sure how this occurs. I certainly did nothing to make it happen. I did not contact the webmasters and ask for a link. However my eHow article about Quickbooks Training & Certification has been picked up by over a dozen websites in the last month.

That means I have a steady stream of visitors viewing that article's page and clicking on advertising while they are there. So far the money I earn is close to $100 a month and climbing!

If I knew how to make this happen with all articles, I would sell you the formula!

Textbroker pays several times a month and provides a broad range of topics and opportunities to write at all levels. Vsit the registration page here.

eHow is no longer a members site. You must now qualify to write for eHow. If you have some writing skills, this is a good place to hone them and become a better writer while getting paid to do so. Writers are paid per article or they can choose a revenue title and make a percentage of the advertising revenue for the article. Choose a good revenue title and the money every month could add up. Find out more about Demand Media and eHow here.

eCopywriters is similar to Textbrokers. You always get paid to write but you must complete articles at a lower pay before getting to write better paying ones. Visit eCopywriters here.

It's been a while since I wrote for Associated Content. I have written only one article for them and that was five years ago, LOL. I've never received any money from them but I never really tried. However, others appear to be making lots of money writing for them. Associated Content is now part of the Yahoo Network.

Always check on the legitimacy of a copywriting company before submitting personal information to them.

Run a search with the business name and the word "scam" and then run a search with the business name and the word "complaint" to see what others have to say.

Sites that do not give much information about the business or little or ridiculaous information about those running the business should be avoided. If they aren't willing to give you a phone number or location address and provide a terms of service agreement or privacy policy...RUN in the opposite direction!

You can see what an eHow revenue article looks like by visiting these links:

• Quickbooks Training & Certification
• Creating a Donation Website
• The Biodiesel Production Process

Not all revenue articles are successful on eHow but if you do enough of them the total monthly revenue does increase over time. I had a 130+ percent increase in a years time on monthly payout from January to January from $18 a month to $43+ a month. AND the monthly payout grew larger in February...can't wait til next month!

I have to admit my writing skills were not the greatest when I started writing online.

It wasn't that I couldn't make myself understood, it was just that I didn't completely grasp how to relate to an audience. I also wasn't very good at structuring an article so that the content was easy to digest.

I spent a good year just learning the basics of online writing. I did this by working with editors on eHow and Textbroker. I really listened to their suggestions and critiques of my work and worked very slowly at first. I would agonize over a single article for a week before I released it to an editor. Now I write between two and five articles a day.

Web content and online writing is short and to the point. Once you have that down, adding some personality is easy to accomplish.

I have written a step-by-step explanation of "How to Write a Web Content Article" and I include a sample article here.
