Writing To Earn

I have loved writing as long as I can remember. As a child, I dreamed of having my writing out there for the whole world to read. I cannot say that I do nearly as much of it as I would like to, but I can say that I have met my childhood goal of having my work published. The best thing about it is that not only has my work been published, I also earn a legitimate income by submitting original articles to a few different sites on-line.
One nice thing about writing on-line is having my work published almost immediately. I am not quite to the point of earning a living by writing articles, but I am on my way there. In all actuality, if I were to simply apply myself a bit more to my writing, I could very easily earn a very decent income.
Another nice thing about writing on-line is that I can write when I feel like it, and if I don't feel like writing, oh well. The earning potential is limitless; the only thing that can stop me is myself.
And yet, aside from being able to earn doing what I enjoy, I also have the ability to write about almost anything. Of course, every site has there own guidelines, and I do recommend reading them thoroughly; however, the three sites that I submit articles to have very clear-cut and easy to understand guidelines.
It did take me several hours of researching before I found the three sites that I submit my work to. There are many more out there, but, in my opinion, these three are the easiest to submit to, and they all pay as they promise.
Associated Content is one site that I submit my articles to. This site pays in two different ways. You can get paid upfront for your work, if it qualifies for upfront payment, and you can get paid per view. Upfront payments are paid within just a few days, normally, and performance payments are paid monthly provided you have reached the minimum payout amount. This site also has many ways to help you get your work out there. You can have updates posted to your Twitter account, you can submit your work to Digg, it can be posted on Facebook or MySpace... the posibilities are enormous.
Triond is another site that I submit my work to. This site only pays per view, and it pays monthly. The nice thing about this site is that you can integrate your adsense account to your Triond account and earn that way as well. The minimum payout level for this site is very low and not hard to reach. Essentially, what this site does is place your articles on sites that they will be most likely to gain the most exposure. They also offer many ways to help you get your work seen more. Just as with Assoviated Content, you can have your Twitter account updated whenever you publish another article and you have many other choices as well.
The third site that I submit my work to is Helium. Helium pays whenever you reach the minimum payout amount and request payment. Earnings are determined largely upon your own activity on the site. The keys to earning with this site are to submit articles often and be sure to rate and review other articles. Basically, the more you put into this site, the more you get out of it.
As I said before, if you are one that enjoys writing and would like to make an income doing so, it is very possible to do so on-line. As with most things in life, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.
