15 Best Sites to Get Paid for Blogging
So you just started with offering your special skills of writing for clients over forums and starting to enjoy the money that’s coming in. You may like this new found money generator of yours if you are a kind of person who is just bothered about writing. Article Writing gets boring at times since writers get orders on various topics which they don’t have any interest in. Read this post completely to know about sites where you can write on the topic you love and still make decent money.
Adding more to the frustration of writers can be demanding customers who do not understand how article writers work. Clients tend to think of us writers as people who just perform data entry work. Most of them never understand what really goes on when a writer is writing and how much of an effort is required to do this.
Why not break free from the boring topics and demanding clients? I have put together a list of 15 websites where you can write to your heart’s content and earn money. No deadlines, no demands, no frustrations – just write as you like and at the pace you love to.
1) Squidoo
Squidoo is a publishing platform where you can share personal posts on their website. Articles on Squidoo are called ‘lenses’ or pages. Once you’ve posted a lens, ads of similar or recommended products of what’s written is placed around your lens.
The ads will consist of products which are sold via their affiliate programs with Amazon, eBay and a few others. You keep half of whatever Squidoo makes from your lens.
2) HubPages
Similar to Squidoo, here you create ‘hubs’ instead of lens. Works in a similar fashion to Squidoo. You can earn via Google AdSense, HubPages Ad Program or affiliate programs.
3) ContentBLVD
ContentBLVD connects blog owners and writers. To be a writer for ContentBLVD, you have to send in an application and meet its criteria, one of which is living in and being eligible to work in the U.S. Once you get in, you can start writing articles based on the topics or assignments as required by ContentBLVD’s clients. You can get paid anywhere between 12$ to 48$ per article.
4) Helium
Helium is a mix of squidoo and ContentBLVD – you can write on your own topics and expect it to be sold to clients or write for a topic provided by a client under the dashboard.
You can earn via their Ad Revenue sharing program or per article basis.
5) Triond
Triond is another article writing community where you post articles which are distributed on popular websites. Triond allows you to post audio, video and pictures together with your written articles which are then published to relevant websites based on what you’ve written.

11) About.com
About.com is a famous website which you’ve probably stumbled across more than once. Because they’re so renowned, being a guide or topic writer means you have to apply to write for specific topics.

15) Content Row
Content Row is a company that sells content written by you. However, their FAQ states that each content written is only sold to 1 customer and the customer can use their name instead of yours on the article. Technically you sell off your right of ownership to the content you produce.
I hope this curated list of top websites helps you in earning by doing what you like the most.
