Okay, this post is for just in case you would like to make some money sitting at your desk writing articles. There’s no application to fill out (except a web form), you’re not working for clients (unless you want to), and how much you make depends on how much, and how well you write.

How many Words Per Minute can you type? If it’s anything above 20 (and it should be if you’ve been on the net very long…) then you can make $9+ an hour writing articles.

They don’t have to be anything special, ground breaking, earth shaking, or even new news for that matter. They just have to have proper spelling, good grammar, a unique way of saying something, and at least 400 words in them.

Just cutting to the chase, there’s a website called Associated Content that will pay you upfront for unique articles you’ve written. The minimum is $3, but they pay more, the more unique or “newsworthy” your article is.

If you can write 3 articles per hour (one every 20 minutes… that’s about 20 WPM average if you do 400 words.) you’ll make at least $9 an hour. They will pay a lot for a really good article though… a lot of people get paid $10 for their articles, and I’ve even heard of a $50 article before.

So, go and check them out.

Q&A

• Can I reuse the content I post elsewhere, say, a blog?

Yep. You can’t use content that you’ve already published on your blog, or elsewhere, but you can reuse it if you first publish it to Associated Content and with an Non-Exclusive License.

• Have you gotten paid? Are they for real?

Yep. I’ve gotten paid (they pay by paypal) and so I know they’re certainly for real. I wouldn’t even recommend them if they weren’t…

• Who is this ideal for?

Stay at home Mom’s come to mind, but basically, anyone who’s self-motivated, and wants to work from home. Oh yeah, you have to be able to write.

• I’m not a writer… Why would they want my content?

Good question. I’m not a writer either, but they still pay me for my content. Give yourself some credit though: Writers are people who write. You can become one very easily just by… writing.
