Five Websites That Pay You To Write Freelance Articles

1) Textbroker:

I’ve never tried this site but it seems to have good reviews. Before you can start publishing, Textbroker requires you to submit what they call an “application article.” The Textbroker staff uses this article to determine you quality level of writing. Once you’ve been approved, the site allows you to start selecting writing assignments that have been requested by Textbroker’s large list of clients. They pay per word based on the quality of the article and articles are 500 words long. Legible writing =0.7 cents per word; Good quality=1 cent per word; Excellent= 1.4 cents per word; and Professional=5 cents per word.
