Write Articles=Get Paid

That's right. Get paid to write articles. There's a few sites out there that I have come across which pay people to write articles. The most popular one is definately AssociatedContent.com. If you aren't very good at discussing things, or just don't like typing, then this definately isn't for you. It doesn't pay too well up front but if you write about popular subjects, it can definately pay off in the long run. The way it works is this: You write articles for them and post your articles to their site. You can see how many visitors visit your articles every day. AC will pay you $1.50 for every 1,000 visits your articles get(and sometimes, if they really like your article, they will pay you a bulk amount of money up front, depending on how much they like it). So if your article gets 10,000 views, that's $15. What's great about this is that they will continue to pay you, even 10 years from now (assuming they will still be in business then, which I am sure they will, considering how popular they are). So if you write an article today for them, you could continue making money off that very same article, year after year for the rest of your life. This is the closest thing to data entry jobs that I have found in my 6 years of working online and finding new ways to make money. Another way to make money writing articles, which probably pays much better than AC, is to freelance. Basically, you can create a profile on AC or even EzineArticles.com (Ezine doesn't pay you but they let you add links to promote your own site). After you create a profile and start writing a few articles on there, you will begin building your portfolio. Once you have enough articles or a reputation built up. You can start advertising your writing services on sites such as elance.com and getafreelancer.com. Many people who own websites want more content for their website but are not good at writing. So they will hire writers. Many of them pay $20-50 per article, maybe even more. So imagine if you write a few articles a day at that rate? If you are good at writing, and are an expert at something, this could easily become a full time job.
