Writing for Cash

Do you love writing short articles about your favorite topics? Having trouble with writer's block and can't seem to finish that novel you started years ago? Well take a mental break and earn some extra cash in your spare time. There are many websites that will pay you to write articles. Some of them pay good money up front, mostly for experienced writers though. Most of the websites now pay writers with a method called Revenue Sharing. Here's a brief description of how this program works. You write the article and the website places the article on their site surrounded by hundreds of ads. Any revenue earned from the ads are split between you and the website, normally 50/50 split but there are a few sites that pay the writers more. All you have to do in this partnership is concentrate on writing quality articles. No website to maintain, no worrying about getting traffic, no investments or fees. This post will be dedicated to providing links to these websites that will pay you for your wonderful writing talents. Keep checking back for more sites to be added and good luck.
