Write and Get Paid

If the English language happens to be your native language (or even if it’s not but you can speak it as if it were your own mother tongue,) and you need some cash in your PayPal account quickly, your best option is to offer your English skills for cash.

Yes, I’m talking about writing for money.

Fresh, quality content is the most important asset for hundreds of thousands of websites and blogs.

But creating them takes time and skills. And not every webmaster or blogger has the time or skill to write their own content. That’s where you come in. You can offer your services as a freelance writer and get paid for doing so.

The market for fresh content is huge and is only getting bigger as more and more businesses realize they need an online presence.

The great thing about this moneymaking idea is that you are not expected to produce magic read in order to earn money. Often, strict guidelines are provided and you just need to make sure there is compliance on your part and the client will have no problem paying into your PayPal account.

Where to Start?

For me, I like to take my writing skills to websites where written contents could be easily traded, you can think of these as some sort of online marketplaces.

It works well for me because I can find work that interests me and works that I can write plenty about.

When you hang around long enough, people will notice your specialization and webmasters in those niches will actually look you up for work.

Digitalpoint. com and WarriorForum are two of my favorite marketplaces.

Each of these forums (and many other webmasters related forums) has a “services” section where writers and webmasters in need fo content find each other.

I like my articles to be around 400 to 700 words so that I can bundle them into pack of 5 or 10 and sell them as bundles (most clients on these forums prefer bundled content.)

How Much to Charge?

You can charge as much or as little as you want. It all depends on how much you value your time and skills.

Of course, when you first get started, it’d be hard to charge premium rates. But as you establish yourself in the community and clients see the quality of your work, it becomes much easier to charge premium rates.

Where Else Can I Find Clients?

The two forums I mentioned are not, of course, the only webmaster related forums.

There are many of them out there, but these two are the largest ones and so the chances of you being to make money as a writer are much higher.

Need Extra Cash for Free?

If you like getting paid for surveys, and are going to join only one site, I would recommend you choose Ipsos-iSay. Ipsos is the most fun and well-paying panel. Give it a try to see how you like it. It is free anyway!
