be wary of sites that pay you to write
The beauty of being a content writer is being your own boss, and making money at your own pace. Sounds like a great life style right. The huge trap no one mentions is that sometimes those web sites advertise high amounts, I have seen up to 20 bucks for an article.
For quick cash I began writing for a web site that promises to pay writers anywhere from a buck to ten dollars to write. In reality after 30 articles I have not seen any one article paid for more than $2.75 and most have been between a buck and a buck twenty five. This would not be bad but there is nothing for the page views those articles receive. We are handing them exclusive work for pittance. I am almost up to my payout of fifty dollars and I am out. I would not mind selling them for a buck or two if there were page views involved.
