Get Paid to Write to Write About What You Want
Associated Content offers both up-front payments (from $3-$50)� as well as payments per page view (currently: $1.50 per 1000 views). Submitting content as ‘exclusive’ (meaning: you agree not to republish it elsewhere) can mean a higher up-front offer, but submitting ‘non-exclusive’ is safer if you are considering reusing the same material elsewhere. Getting paid by Associated Content is quick and easy: they have no minimum payout and use PayPal to submit earnings at least once a week. Also, they allow writers to write on virtually any subject, so long as that subject hasn’t been covered on the site already (though some subjects can be covered from various perspectives).
So, in short: you can get paid to write articles that are targetted mostly for Associated Content, which pays the most and has a good community of writers associated with it. First, though, you can submit those articles to Triond and potentially get some extra per-page-view earnings. After submitting to those sites, you can add your articles to your blog or another site with ads or other sources of revenue.

Thank God for Associated Content. Making money at the other sites is like crawling through mud. I’ve seen people justify low payments because they “love writing more than the money,” as if that is noble. Good writers deserve payment for time put in.

Hi there,
I’ve read your Helium.com stuff with interest, as I was considering writing for them. I agree that Associated Content looks like the best bet - unless you are from outside the U.S, as they don’t pay non-U.S citizens! Do you have any suggestions of reliable sites which do pay non-U.S citizens?

I’ve been writing for Triond and I’m quite pleased. You get more page views compared to a blog, you have full reporting and they pay every month. I am not from the US and they pay into my PayPal account.

Great article and to the point. Perfect. Didn’t really need to comment, but, I’d like to point out to Skye that he/she/it can use an American proxy, get a yahoo account and have paypal directed to that account.
Cheers,
Dan

Let me get this clear, are you saying that the material I have on Helium, I can also submit to triond? I am outside US and now regret the effort put in at helium because of the concerns you have raised.

Hmmm, well, they usually take a day or two to pay but … did you submit them for payment? I hope so … they should have offered you an amount upfront, and paid shortly after publishing the article.

I’m just going to say the same thing. AC is the best for payouts on the front and backend!
