Best writing sites for making money online

I'm looking for the best writing sites for making money online. Making money online doesn't come easy, and they're plenty of places that are a waste of time. So I've been experimenting with new sites to make extra money online. The sites I've been hearing a lot of buzz on are hubpages, infobarrel, and Xomba. So far, I've not put enough time on each site to notice much. I like the process on infobarrel much better than ehow. It's important to find a site that is reliable, not just a money making site. Ehow is money making, but they're not honest or trustworthy in anyway.

Ehow is having it's problems. The money is good, yes, currently I'm pulling in over 100 dollars a month. Last month I did get to my goal, this month I should hit my goal as well. Next month I should pull in 200 dollars, depending on ehow. I'm carrying my weight, however they are a different story. That is where the frustration starts to grow. Ehow seems to want to limit our success as much as possible. They've began a new process already for beginners, where articles must be approved before posting. I'm hearing bad reviews on this process already. A lot of new members have complain to making so little, to no money at all. It could just be a glitch, because lord knows that site is filled with them. I only wonder if us veterans are also on borrowed time, before they decide to keep everything for themselves. Articles disappear for no reason at all. They always happen to be money making articles.

Last month I went through ehow's second sweep. Eight articles were removed, ones that seem to make good money on ehow as well. I was lucky, some have had as many as 60 articles removed. The process is ridiculous, and they don't play fair at all. So if you're new to writing, and looking for place to make money, I wouldn't suggest ehow right now. Ehow was a great place to make money online. Was being past tense, for now on I can't count on them as reliable. That is another reason I'm on a mission to find other places to earn money.

For those learning to start off making money, you might want to try blogging. You can make money blogging, although it is not easy at all. It seems like the right way to go. Also check out some of the sites I've looked into, try experimenting for yourselves. I've had heard positive experiences from others who I trust, but for now I can't tell whether it's worth the time or not. Any site takes time, it doesn't come successfully fast. Right now I'm working on building up a lot of backlinks to some of the work I've done, which I'm starting to see an increase in traffic and earnings.

  1. YOu are so right about ehow. They do seem to stifle success on that site. Half the time members are mass sending notices with inaccurate information on what you can and can't do, and this is ehow's fault for their vague information on everything. There is no guidance, no real member support..I hope to see that change. Thanks for the valuable information you provide daily~Dawn

  5. I know what you mean about eHow. I am following all of their rules and guidelines and still I worry they will delete articles at some point. Yet, there are people making really good money there. I also write for Suite101, Constant-Content, AC and Orato.com. It's best to do a little of everything, just in case. :)

  6. i have two articles that I've written just to test things out..and they both have made 2 bucks in the last two weeks. I think the complainers haven't figured out how to leverage SEO-keywords and the articles they write-THATS WHAT MAKES MONEY. You have to go where the traffic is..sadly i would love to write about feng shui all day. But thats not where the money niche's are.

  8. I just joined eHow and I am trying to learn how it works. I guess I shouldn't waste much time there after all. Thanks for writing this blog, you probably saved me a lot of time!
    I have a couple links on my website to make money writing online. Check to see if there is any new ideas for you. http://PocketMoney.dealtap.com
    Recently I was ripped off by google adsense- they tossed me and kept my money because "someone complained" about my blog and the adsense people decided I was unworthy. Now I run my own ads on my blog and my website. Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!

  9. I agree eHow is busted. They do article sweeps yet they leave crap articles up. They kill off good articles and replace with Demand Studios articles that they get all the revenue on. The whole site is buggy and earnings are down for a lot of people. I've never seen a site so poorly run.

  10. I always get one or two articles erased..which is actually good as I heard there are people who got about half of their articles removed..Hope this does not happen to me..

  11. Great article. eHow deleted about 30 of my articles (50%) No reason. I was following all the rules- they were all original, well written how-to's - and making $$. I'm still making about $40/ month from the 30 articles I still have - I'm going back to blogging and improving my PR.

  12. Can't find another way to contact you, but wanted you to know that your InfoBarrel article, "How to find laptop coupons, next-to-last line in the first paragraph needs an edit to remove the word "not." As written, "So you want to buy a laptop that's not going to function well."
