Write to Earn

How do you make money with Suite 101 ? I’ve heard this question over and over. In fact, I just got an email from another Suite writer on this subject. While there is no magic formula, there are some tried-and-true methods that the Suite 101 alumni use to boost their earnings.

First, you have to have around 100 articles before you start seeing any major results. Most of us older Suite writers agree on this. We call this a critical mass. Once you get over that hump things start clicking. My hits dramatically increased after 100 articles and so did the amount of money I was earning.

Also, take a look at what articles are getting the most hits and milk those keywords for all they are worth. I realized that how to draw articles were my big draws for my Painting/Drawing section , so I have written as many of those as possible. Also, for low earning topics, I’d try to focus on newsworthy articles. These will be big hit makers. The more hits the more chances for article clicks, which is how we get paid.

I’ve read that there are some Suite 101 writers earning around $1,000 a month on 200-300 articles. For others it is 500 articles. It all depends on how good the SEO is and how popular the topic is.

While you might say, “Whoa! 100-500 articles!” think about the rules that Suite lays down. You keep your print rights (so you can sell the article to other outlets), you get your web rights back after a year, and you keep making money on your articles no matter if you never write another. So your article will eventually make hundreds of dollars, even if it is spread out over time.

Hope this helps any Suite newbies!
