Writing Jobs Explained. 

Per article/Topic-Specific/Adsense

Writing jobs are everywhere: if you know how to find the legitimate ones.

Your best bet is to go with a site that pays you per article, per word, or per project. However, I also know of a few websites that will pay you to blog on certain topics, such as a new product. These sites usually require you to already have an established blog that gets traffic from search engines, such as Google and Yahoo.

Many websites allow you to blog, and then pay you based how on many ad clicks you get. These sites usually use Google Adsense to place relevant ads on your blog or page. When someone views your page and clicks on an ad, you get a certain percentage of the revenue earned by that click. The best way to generate ad clicks is to write high-quality articles based on popular topics. The most popular topics vary based on the site for which you're blogging. The more popular your content, the better chance you have of generating ad clicks.
