So, some of us make money by just doing the things we like.... some of us design, some of us code, some of us offer services, and some of us write.

I personally freelance write articles at Constant Content, and I have had pretty good luck there. You can write articles there and sell them at your own prices. I have only just started and I've earned about $15 or $20 (and that is just today).

For those of you who write to earn money, where do you do it?
 
For me, I looked at GetaFreeLancer, to look at some coding work, but decided to further my skills before I put myself up for hire. Just wanted to know, what do you write about?
 
I'm a free-lance web-web developer, so i develop websites, sell them off for a price, i also do services. 🙂

To be honest, I write about anything I feel like. I have done something about cell phones, as well as history of video gaming, and even hardcore reviews. Once I have a portfolio, i will post it.

I got to learn coding sometime 😛
 
I've been thinking about this for awhile but I put it on the back burner as I've been focusing on my forum now. I'm gonna try to do it soon though - I need money since I'm a poor college student anyways 😛

How much do you get paid per article approximately? And how many words?

It completely depends on (1) if you are filling a writing request, or (2) if you are filling your own. I just sold a 547 word article for $16.99 to someone for unique usage (they are the only ones to use it now). I also have a 1,170 word article on sale after it gets approved, where I am looking for $29.99 for usage, $69.99 for unique usage, and $99.99 for full rights.

I think that people are paying WAY over the odds for these articles... you can get a book with that many pages for less. :lol:

That sounds really awesome. I can pump out articles too haha. Do they pay by Paypal?

Yeah.
 
Do you think it is easier to get a request or do it yourself, and does one generally get you more money?
 
Hey, thanks for bringing this up. Having previously worked as a copy writer & a freelance journalist, I can see this being a very useful site for earning a bit of extra cash in my spare time. Thanks for the heads up :yes:
 
QJ how they work? I mean did they give you topics to write on them? or you can write anything and place it in the market? can you inform a bit here

You can either pick a topic you can write on (example: things that you are interested in), or fill out requests depending on what the person wants.
 
I may give this a shot. Thanks for the link. I quite enjoy writing pieces, so it would be nice to make some money from it.
