So, you’re probably wondering - how do I do it? How do I make money writing? Well, there is no easy way to answer that. I do a little bit of everything. But since you may be a beginner, and you may feel frustrated in that you’ve been working hard and not saying any payout, I’ll share with you where my money comes from.

• Associated Content - I’m averaging about $6 an article here. Not great, but I can write when I need to and not worry about deadlines.

• Constant Content - Truth be told, I haven’t made a penny from them. But, I submit my articles every now and then. I only have a handful in the system. In order to make money here you, of course, have better odds if you submit a lot of articles. One of the people I’ve referred to the site has made around $30 so far.

• Rentacoder - I’ve been making a lot of money with Rentacoder lately. Just don’t fall into the trap of accepting low paying work. The good stuff is there, you just need to find it.

• Squidoo - What can I say? I love Squidoo. I make consistent money with Squidoo each month by promoting affiliate programs. Plus, I love finding topics and having fun putting together the information. It’s addicting!

• ExquisiteWriting.com - One of the best things I could have done was join a writing team. When I need work, I just email and say “I can take on work” and they send something my way!

• Ehow.com - I highly recommend eHow as being a great place to make some extra money. As mentioned in the comments, there are at least two of us with 100 + articles in the system that make at least $60 a month through the compensation program. I’ve been with them for over a year, too so the earnings really add up. I notice that my amount increases when I promote my articles.

Use this to get you started and you’ll be making a living as a writer in no time!
