Working as a freelance writer can be highly lucrative career. The growth of the internet has lead to several new sites which specialize in selling the content of freelance writers. Basically, these sites are like marketplaces where buyers come to purchase pre-written content. http://www.constant-content.com is one such site.
Then there are other sites where you submit your content and then get paid depending on how many views your article gets. http://www.helium.com is one such site.
http://www.associatedcontent.com is a combines upfront payment with payment for page views over time.
One benefit of using a site like http://www.constant-content.com is that your articles will usually sell for a high price (i.e. for $15-20/each, rather than $5/each). Additionally, if you truly enjoy writing, the higher prices will permit you to create something requires research and careful thought, rather than something that simply requires you to write as quickly as possible.
The major downside of this type of freelancing is that there’s no guarantee that
anyone will purchase your articles. This means that you could
invest hours in your articles; and could ultimately never make any money.
Sites such as http://www.helium.com and http://triond.com do not match
your articles with a buyer. Instead, you submit your content to the site you get paid whenever someone views your article. Usually, this amounts to 1-3 cents per view.
If you plan to use these types sites, you need to be more selective about which
topics you pick. Since these sites usually generate revenue through Google
AdSense, they often pay accordingly. This means that you should write about
topics that businesses spend a lot of advertising money on.
It might not initially be obvious what these topics are, but if you spend some time on Google Adwords searching for keywords, you should be able to scrape
together some keywords that people pay a great deal to advertise for.
