How to get paid for writing articles / blogs online?

If you have landed on this article, it means you are or want to be a freelance writer. You know how to write articles and blogs, but don’t have writing projects at the moment. Agree?

If yes, let me share a list of 7 websites will pay you genuinely for your hard work.  Of course, there would be editorial guidelines to prove that you have got the potential to thrive in this industry.

1. BreakStudio

Break.com is a popular website for humorous, engaging, and viral contents. If you write for this website, you will get paid for your contents almost immediately. The best thing about BreakStudio is that you do not need to devise a subject or the title for the content. They take this pain on them completely and sets you free with your thinking hat.

They will provide you the subject, title, sub-title, due date, and the references of targeted websites. You just need to concentrate on the content.

2. wiseGEEK

wiseGEEKs offers freelance writers great opportunities to get paid. Once you write at least 5 articles for them, you can ask for the payment. They pay twice in the month.

About the subjects, you are free to pick your subjects from finance, technology, legal, beauty, diets, nutrition, fitness, medicine, fashion, gardening and more. So, why ask anyone for a writing project? Go to wiseGEEKS today.

3. Scripted

If you know that you are a better writer than the average, Scripted is the place for you. Before it lets you in and assigns projects, you would be required to take a test of your English. Once you are through, you get into the selected crowd. The best part I personally liked about Scripted is that most of the clients here would give you proper pitch for the write-ups. It makes your work easier as you know which style of writing you need to stick to.

4. Freelance Writing Gigs

If you need small to big writing gigs with fairly good pays, you must go to this website.  They do the curation and present you the collected writing gigs from around the world at one place.

This website features writing gigs from different sources. If you don’t want to spend hours on Craiglist or other similar websites finding freelance writing jobs, you should check this website out.

5. iWriter

This one is good fit for beginners to intermediate freelancer writers. I mean if you do not have much experience of writing for online media and need the confidence desperately, you should try iWriter. However, the pay is a bit lesser, but you can make yourself busy with the genuinely paid projects.

6. OnlineWritingJobs

A good place online where you can grab some real writing assignments. All you need to do is to register for the website and fill in their application form. Your application would be reviewed and once it approved, a lot of writing work will come your way.

7. Your own website

Yes, there can’t be better way to get freelancing projects online. If you want to be a full time writer, you should have a website first. Pick your niche, get a website, and start writing what you know the best. But, don’t forget to make a separate section on your website to let your readers know that you are open for freelance writing projects. Stay focused, be consistent, and do the marketing.

Don’t have a website? I can help you on this. Get in touch to discuss more.

Already have a website but facing many problems? Tell me what they are. Don’t hesitate to share them with me, I would try to suggest you the best to solve them.

None of the above worked? 

Never mind. There’s always a better way.

If you could not find a writing job from the above-mentioned websites, I will personally help you out on this. How?

It’s simple. Write at least 300 words on any topic of your interest, and send it to me. Don’t forget to mention your contact details in the mail.

Now, allow me at least two days to review your contents. I will respond with the feedback and if it’s positive, I will contact you with all the details for your first project with me.

One more thing, I accept contents from Indian writers only. Why?

It is a bit difficult to send to payments outside India at the moment as I pay through online banking only. Paypal does not allow sending payments from India.

Sharing is caring!
