How to Get Paid to Write

eHow is one form of internet writing. Everyday hundreds of new blog sites are opening their doors and hiring freelance bloggers.

Whether you are paid based on a revenue share plan , by the post, word count or a monthly payment arrangement.

Below you will find two of the top paying markets for any writer. Both pay out a guaranteed amount each month.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Good writing
• A specialty
• research ability
• grammar
• Time to invest

1. When deciding the best writing job for you. The most valuable thing you will need to consider is your time. The time it takes you to write your article and the time it takes you to promote your articles. Of course the later only refers to those working and writing for revenue share only.
   Let's take a look at the two highest paying freelance writing positions I have found to date. Both promise you a monthly payment.

2. About guides, About.com ,are guaranteed a minimum payment of $725.00 per month for the first two years than $500.00 minimum per month. You could keep the higher pay after two years if your guide is popular. Most of the About.com guides earn over $1000.00 a month.
   
   According to the website they have over 750 guides , real people just like you. They are also in need of more guides to cover another 50 topics. Yes more than one guide is selected per topic.
   
   Being paid such a generous amount each month they will expect some well written articles. You also must update your site at least once a week. It would also be in your best interest to promote your articles.
   To find a topic you maybe interested in writing. Use the clickable link below under the resource section.

3. The second best guaranteed paying website is Consumer Research. Both About and Consumer Research are owned by The New York times Company.
   Consumer Research offers a guaranteed payment of $350.00 per month and provides you with both the research topic and the tools needed to complete your reviews each month.
   
   Each review takes approximately 12 hours to complete according to the website. Topics include technology eg: cell phones, electronics, homes and gardens, family and pets, sports and fitness, automotive, health, kitchens, food. Most people always research a product online before buying. Comparing price plus quality.

4. To apply for an open position you can visit the Consumer research website using the clickable link below under the resource section.
   
   Your application process will consist of writing a sample review.

5. If you are fortunate enough to be accepted as an About.com guide you will need to complete the online training class. When you do apply and submit your sample articles it takes them about two weeks or more to respond. The research sample you will need to write for Consumers Research will take you about 12 hours and you need to create it as a word document.

6. Good luck write well send them your best work and I really hope you earn both positions or at least one. Writing for both will take a lot of time per month but in the end you will be paid a minimum payment of $1075.00 per month.

7. Whatever happens keep posting and promoting your articles on ehow. The one thing I really love about the revenue share programs. Your monthly earnings are unlimited.
