Write to Earn

A writer on a list I frequent says that it is never good to put all of your writing eggs in one basket, especially eggs that only pay $15 an article. This is good advice. When writing for the web, you may take jobs that pay out $15 an article if the work is easy, but remember to keep plenty of other clients to boost your monthly income.

I make a living for my family being a full-time freelance writer. To do this I have many clients all at once. Here’s a list of some of my regular gigs:

• 3 gigs with privet clients (flat rate payments)
• Demand Studios (flat rate flat rate payments)
• Feature Writer with Suite 101
• eHow (passive income)
• Bright Hub (flat rate and residual income)
• 2 blogs on Today.com (flat rate and residual income)
• Prevention Buzz Blogs (flat rate payments)
• VisualTravelTours.com (I just started designing a tour for them yesterday- flat rate and residual income)

Sure, some of these may be low paying jobs, but I use them to fill in spots when I need that income boost. To make low paying gigs worth it, remember to make sure that you can whip out an article for them in around 30 minutes. That way, you’re making $30-an-hour. Not a shabby wage at all!
