Before you actually start writing, think about how you want to get paid by writing online. What do you like to do? Do you like to review products? Are you a freelance writer? Do you enjoy writing in forums? Earning money is great if you're doing something you love, so decide what most interests you. You can choose to write for a combination of websites or just focus on one.

If you enjoy writing online articles or freelance writing and want to earn residual (constant) income, try writing for eHow, Xomba, Info Barrel, HubPages, or Squidoo. Writing online articles for residual income allows you to constantly receive earnings at a slower pace than upfront payments. However, keep in mind that your earnings are constant, so you end up making more over time with an article than you would make only with upfront payments.

However, if you enjoy writing online articles or freelance writing and want to receive upfront (immediate) payments, you may like Associated Content, Helium, Bukisa, Examiner, Essaywriters, LookingForClues, or constantcontent. With some of the above websites, you can also earn money writing online with the number of page views you receive as well as the upfront payments. Upfront payments are great because you don't have to wait long to earn money. However, upfront payments aren't constant and you only get paid once per article.

If you prefer writing online reviews on products, you'll be more interested in writing for Reviewstream or Reviewparty. Getting paid for reviews is pretty good, since the reviews don't have to be as long as full articles. However, payment is generally lower per review.

If writing online discussions and participating in chats or forums interests you, try writing for MyLot or CraZoo. These types of earnings are usually the lowest, though you have a great deal of fun while chatting with others.

If you love to answer questions and would like to get paid writing online answers, you may want to check into PickJack. It's good to spread the knowledge, though you won't get paid as much as you would writing articles.

Last but not least, you can earn money by writing online in your own blog. Though making a blog requires more work than just writing articles for a large company, blogs tend to be more profitable (since your earnings aren't split between the company and you) if keywords are used right. However, you'll have to start off with a low search engine rank, making earnings slow at first. When writing for other websites, earnings are high in the beginning because they already have a good search engine rank.

Tips & Warnings
When writing online, DO NOT plagiarize. No one likes plagiarists and you'll most likely just get banned from the website you're writing for and lose the earnings you've accumulated.
