Writing Sites That Can Make You Money
Since July of 2008, I have been writing online. Squidoo was my very first site I had started out with. I was looking for ways to make money online and then found I can write online and make money from that. I was instantly addicted to it. Slowly my Star Trek simming addiction has gone away and has been replaced by publishing articles online.
I didn’t know that this was out there otherwise I would have started a lot sooner. Some of the trouble I have had in the Star Trek Community would have been less if not, non existing. A little bit about those communities is that there is a lot of high school like drama. This is not what this hub is all about. Here I am going to show you some of the sites I have tried that I think that I worth looking into.
Don’t Put All Of Your Eggs In One BasketI don’t believe keeping all of my articles all on the same site. The reason I feel that way is if one day a site decides to closed down, you loose money. Yes you may be losing money, but you have a backup plan for when that does happen and you are not losing all of your income. Another reason going with multiple sites, you have a better earning potential and you are maximizing it this way.
Squidoo
Squidoo is a site that I had started out with and I still continue on writing on. The amount of lenses that I have over there has grown and I love the site. I am currently a giant squid over there which means I have made over 50 quality lenses. You don’t make giant squid if you have crappy lenses and it has to be at least 50. More is always better.
HubpagesThis is the site that this hub is being written on. I heard about hubpages through squidoo and obviously I had to check this place out. Both sites there are aways people whom are trying to compare each other site. Really the two are totally two different sites with different objectives. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. If you can write a squidoo lens, you can write a hub as writing hubs in my eyes is very easy to do.
Helium
Helium is another site I write on. I have not been paid through them yet as I have not hit the $25 payout but each month, I have inched closer to it. I have 1 writing star and 5 rating stars through them so since I have been keeping a 5 star rating stars, I am guarantied $3 added to my account. I also make money on if I publish a new article and if I get any traffic to my articles. The thing about the articles is that we do compete with others in articles.
Associate Content
Associate Content is another site I have tried out. I have made some money from them. In addition to getting up front, which is a good way to go, you can also make money through pageviews. It does seem hard to make money on pageviews, but slowly it is going up for me.
Gather
Gather as you can write about anything there. -
Making Money Online
I know I have posted on this blog about some different places you can make money. This post will be a complete comprehension of what sites really pay for me. I will not post about them unless I have had a payout first. The reason, I prefer to test them out and actually give you what I have found to work for me. Some of my results may be better or worse than what you as a reader have experienced. Not everything works for everyone. This post will be updated on a regular basis as I am always looking for new opportunities. Its always good to look for something new as sites close down and you want to have some sort of back up plan.
Many of the sites that I work with pay via paypal. There are some that I opt for amazon gift cards because it does come out cheaper in the long run.
When I started making money online, I started writing at squidoo and Hubpages.
If you sign up to hubpage, you will need adsense to make money. Make sure you sign up there. You may not get accepted right away, but if you keep trying, eventually they will accept you. You will not make money right away.

Swagbucks is one that I have posted a lot about here. I have consistently been making amazon gift cards from them. They are the best deal which is why I get them. You can even redeem you points for paypal and other items.
Jingit is another way I make money. It does not pay off all of the time. Sometimes there are ads and sometimes there is not. I have to get the card which cost me $2 of my earnings. I chose the visa debit card over the music me. I just add money I make for the card. It does not make a lot, but at least its something.
Gather is another site that I have made some money on. If I used to often, I would make more. I did cash out for the paypal option. You can write or share posts there.
Webanswers – Is another place I go to make some money. Once you hit 50 answers, you can ad your adsense ID to it. You do not make a whole lot of money, but it does add up.
I am also trying out some Pay to Click type of places. It did not take long to hit payout with Nature Clix. Their payout is 50 cents so its really easy to hit payout. I just hit payout last night. I wanted to test out how it went so once I hit 50 cents I requested the payment and it did not take long at all so it is a legit site.
Keep checking back to this blog entry for updates. This is what I have so far, but I am working on other ways to make money but won’t post about them until I make the money first.
