12 Web Sites that Pay for Writing
By Stephen Bucaro
Advertisers have found that having a blogger write about their product or service
is a much more effective way to advertise than posting ads. This has created a new
marketing method where advertisers pay for bloggers to write about their product or
service. This has also created a new opportunity for you to get paid for writing.
This is a list of ten places on the Web that pay you to write.
One of the best things about writing paid reviews on your blogs is that you can
set your own hours, work as much or as little as you desire and have a steady flow
of income for doing what you love to do anyway.
1. Associated Content
Earns its revenue from context-sensitive advertisers like Google Adsense and others,
and shares a portion of that revenue with its member authors. They also accept and
publish slide-show presentations and videos. After you sign up and submit your
content, you are paid PPM (Pay Per Thousand Page Views), in other words, the more page
views your content receives, the more you earn.
Your payment rate is also calculated based upon your Clout Level. Your
clout level is a number between 1 and 10 based upon number of articles published and
the number of page views they receive. As of this writing, a member with the lowest
clout level would receive $1.50 per thousand page views.
2. BlogBurner
You create an account with them and an account with Google Adsense. You create your blog
on their site, they run ads on your blog and you get 50 percent of the royalties.
3. BlogToProfit
If you already have a blog, they'll connect you with advertisers that are interested
in sponsoring your blog. They're not particular about the topic of your blog, as long as
it’s not spam or pornographic, but they are looking for blogs for which 90 percent
of the content has been indexed by major Search Engines.
4. Blogsvertise
Advertisers want publicity. You register at this site, then they email assignments to
you. You write an entry in your blog about the advertiser. It doesn't need to be an
article complimenting the advertiser, it can be critical. After your entry is approved
and the payout period has passed, blogsvertise pays you through Paypal.
5. Digital Journal
A news site where the news is written by citizen journalists, bloggers, passionate
writers, regular Joes and Janes, and professional journalists. They share a portion
of their advertising revenue with Citizen Journalists. The more you contribute, the
more you earn.
6. Helium
A community of writers who are revolutionizing publishing. It is a vast resource of
experience-based knowledge, wisdom and creativity. They welcome a variety of voices and
opinions. If you want to break into freelancing but don't have a body of work to show yet,
Helium's Marketplace is for you.
7. LoudLaunch
