Are you a good writer with an excellent grasp of grammar and a flair for writing interesting articles? Did you know that you could get paid to write articles online? There are two options here. You could get paid directly for producing articles that other people can use on their websites or you could use the articles to make money yourself by publishing them, either on your own website, or on a revenue sharing site such as Word Wolf or Hub Pages.
Selling Your Articles
Constant Content accepts articles on any subject (with a few exceptions) that are informative and free from errors. You will need to read the guidelines carefully before submitting an article as you could get suspended if you have three articles rejected. The articles can be sold with usage rights, with unique rights or with full rights so make sure you understand the differences before you submit your article. You set the price of your article and receive 65%, Constant Content receiving 35%.
Associated Content is another site where you can sell your articles. You can write articles on almost any topic or visit the Assignment Desk to see a list of requested topics. Well written articles may earn an up-front payment of between $1.50 and $2.00 for 1000 page views depending on the writers AC ranking.
Bukisa also accepts articles but the amount you get paid per 1000 views varies according to a Bukisa index. The Bukisa index is updated monthly and depends on how much revenue Bukisa is making from advertising, (both contextual and banner) email marketing etc. So if the Bukisa index is 4.00 you will earn $4.00 per 1000 views of your article.
Publishing Articles on Revenue Sharing Sites
An alternative to getting paid to write articles by selling them or publishing them on a pay per view site is to publish them on a revenue sharing site. These sites place ads (usually from Adsense) on your article page and share the revenue with you. The percentage you receive varies with the site but is usually between 60 and 80%. You will need to apply for an Adsense account to make money in this way. Some sites also pay you a higher percentage if you publish a certain number of articles with them so you can increase your earnings in this way.
Increasing Your Page Views
With either a revenue sharing site or a pay per view site you will need to make sure your article is seen by the maximum number of people. To do this you need to write an article that is going to be found easily by someone searching for the topic you are writing about. Finding a good keyword and including it in both the title and content is one way to do this. This is a huge subject and you can find out more by visiting Make Money Writing Articles Online.
