10 Real Internet Companies: Where the Words You Write Will Pay You

Posted on April 3rd, 2008 in Opportunities by Nelson Doyle

Writers can earn an income on the Internet simply from the articles, blogs, reviews, and stories that they enjoy writing about. Introducing “10 Real Internet Companies Where The Words You Write Will Pay You” and winning worldwide exposure for your writing is an added bonus.

Locating real writing opportunities on the Internet that will pay writers a royalty is not as easy as one might originally think, but through networking with other writers and learning some lessons the hard way will shade some new light on the subject.

This is not a top ten list and each of the writing opportunities offered within this article may not be right for every writer. It is the responsibly of the interested writer to read the rules, guidelines and policies of the companies in which the writer chooses to write for in the future. This article only provides a brief summary of the benefits and/or payout opportunities of each company. It is your responsibility to continue on with any further inquiry regarding the benefits, rules, writing guidelines and payout benefits for each company.

Thisisby.us

This paid writing opportunity offers its content writers a 50%royalty payout that is based off of the advertising revenue that the website is able to generate from your articles. Writers can earn more money if their “Goodness” is high. The “Goodness” model is based on the number of views that your article receives in the last 24 hours. In addition, Thisisby.us pays a 10% royalty (based on Advertising Revenue) to commenters who leave a comment on the articles that they have read, but all commenters must be current members of Thisisby.us to receive the royalty payout. The more users vote for your comments, then the more you’ll get paid. So, it pays to become both a writer and/or commenter at Thisisby.us.

HubPages

HubPages is a place where writers can write about just about anything that is interesting to them and earn 60% of the ad revenue that is generated from their writings. Writer must register for a free affiliate account through Google Adsense, eBay and/or Amazon, so to enable them to start earning an income. When you have time pay a visit to HubPages and take the quick HubPages Tour, so to learn how exactly the program works.

Wise Bread

Wise Bread is a website that focuses on personal finance and frugal living and its writers writes blogs that offers useful information related to these topics. Wise Bread offers a few ways for writers to earn an income that includes: Google Adsense, site-wide ads, Feedburner, and reprint licenses. Writers will receive 100% of the ad revenue that is generated through their personal Google Adsense account, and then Wise Bread will split advertising revenue with its writers that are generated from site-wide ads (based on traffic, so the more traffic your articles generates, the more you make) and will split earnings made from Feedburner (or any other form of syndication).

Print n Post

At PrintNPost writers maintain their own blog and/or writes articles that are then published on the PrintNPost website. Writers earn an income from their Google Adsense advertising, but a Google Adsense Account is necessary to make money using this site. The more articles or blogs that you write, then the more money you can potentially make. PrintNPost writers benefit as a community, because they all share in the overall traffic that the site receives, because visitors are visiting the site to read maybe what other PrintNPost authors have written and they may stick around and also read some of your articles and/or blog during their visit.

Review Party

Not every writer wants to write full-length articles or blogs to make an income. Some writers enjoy writing opinions about the books the recently read, the music that they listen to, and/or the DVD movies and television shows that they watch. ReviewParty offers an opportunity for writers to write thoughtful reviews about the books, music, DVD movies and television shows that you currently enjoy, so earning money indefinitely through your own Amazon Affiliate links. Writers must have an Amazon Affiliate Account to earn an income with ReviewParty.

Squidoo

Squidoo allow writers to write about just about anything that you love sharing and writing about within reason. Squidoo members write and maintain their own Squidoo Lens (where their writing appears) and can earn money in the process. From my personal experiences writing for Squidoo the earnings caution at the lower end of the payscale than some of the other writing opportunities on the Internet.

Blog Posts for Sale

Blog Posts For Sale has created an opportunity for bloggers to get paid by selling advertising links that are placed within the blog posts that the writers’ blog about. The bloggers set their own prices and Blog Posts For Sale has set a minimum price of $20.00 per permanent advertising link. Blog Posts For Sale will receive $7.00 BPFS fee, so the writer would earn an actual $13.00 per link (if the link was sold for $20.00) and more if the advertising link is sold for more than $20.00. Blog Posts For Sale reserves the right to accept and deny blog posts and subjects that are not allowed are: Sex, poker and gambling. Anything illegal.

Helium

Helium is a site where writers share their experience-based knowledge, wisdom and creativity through their articles and/or blogs. Helium writers can write for publishers who are willing to pay popular writers from $20 to $200 for each selected article that the partnered publisher chooses. Helium writers can choose to participate in fun and interesting writing contests that are held by Helium and potentially win some additional money and win a greater audience of readers.

Associated Content

Writers writing for Associated Content can earn performance payments based on per 1000 views (currently $1.50 per 1000 views) that their articles receive. Sometimes Associate Content may offer an upfront payment for your text or video content that range from $3.00 to $20.00. Writers can write about just about any topic that they want to write about, but be sure to carefully read Associated Content’s writers rules and guidelines before submitting any article or blog.

Triond

Leaving the best writing opportunity (IMO) for last. Triond is a legitimate writing opportunity that pays its writers to write creative, interesting and entertaining articles, stories, poetry and much, much more. Triond pays writers 50% of the advertising revenue generated from the articles that each writer publishes with Triond. Triond takes care of the advertising sales and website marketing promotions, so that the writers do not need to worry about registering for advertising affiliation accounts (Google Adsense, Amazon, etc.). Triond writers are free to focus the majority of their energies on writing more articles. Triond provides promotional marketing tools for writers that wish to self-promote their articles in order to drive even more traffic (readers) to their articles and earn potentially greater profits for their content. Writers are paid once a month and on the 15th day of each month and for the earnings generated the previous month.

i’ll definitely check this out.

anyway, i cant post in triond. I emailed them and I am still waiting for their reply. I am new at triond. Is there a need for me to post my content in a website before submitting to triond?

Please help me.

Hello shayla -

Really, in my opinion, you should publish your original and previously unpublished work to Triond first, and then if you want post the articles to other places, if you wish.

Triond is just like any other company out there as to they desire to have the first publishing rights to your fresh new content, because by publishing never-before-seen content gives their website an edge over the other competing publishing websites. However, don’t forget that this will only help the entire community of writers belonging to the same writing community, because every new article helps attract new visitors and readers to the site in which the content is published. My fresh, new content not only helps me gain a bigger following of readers, but it helps the entire community attract new readers, too.

Triond writers are not in competition with one another, but in a very direct way, we are helping each other get better known for our work. Anyone writer that disagrees with this assessment needs to learn a little more about community effort and the success that can derive from community cohesiveness rather than community divisiveness.

Communities that work together on a common goal are the ones that become successful and stay successful.

God Bless,

Nelson Doyle

I’m trying to adjust my feeble mind to such a grand scheme. Is this a place where personal comment and/or creative content have a place, or must any article be informative in a practical way? I note you solicit poetry, so assume there may be many rooms in this home. Intriguing!

You left off my favorite: StoryMash.com!
Nelson Doyle

Hi Bethany -

I know that I left out storymash.com because I already once included the writing opportunity in my other article called “10 Killer Internet Companies That Want To Pay You To Write”. I generally tried to avoid repeating myself in the articles that I write with just a couple of exceptions.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments and for sharing your favorite places to write for.

God Bless,

I have been writing online only since last October. I have sold several articles through Helium but I love the idea of maximizing the use of each by using different web sites. I’ve published a few original pieces on Triond, but now I’m wondering if I should ALWAYS publish first on Triond, then to Helium and others? Interesting.

At any rate, thank you for the great ideas, wealth of info for writers and a really good article.

Nelson,

Great article! But I´m a bit curious what Triond actually is paying us for. When I review my stats it seems to me that I´m only being credited for actual page views, not for any advertising clicks, sales etc from visitors reading my articles. We´re supposed to get 50% of the ad revenue. Or am I wrong??

Jon Anderson -

Depending on how Triond affiliates with advertiser there are several different ways an advertiser can pay for the ad spots. I do not pretend to know by what method Triond operates using, but views are paid for by the advertising sponsors that you can see on the page. Get a lot of views and you can make good income.

If you are wanting to really cash-in on your writing, then you need pursue writing for the printed magazine market and avoid writing for online publishers, because writers do need to market their own articles and write fresh content on a daily or weekly basis, so to build an on-going future income.

Personally, I do really well writing for Triond. I believe that new writers who are entering the world of writing online for an income think that this will be a cake-walk, but are then surprise that to be successful you must pay your dues and learn how the business works. It takes time, dedication, an understanding of online marketing and a real passion to write even when the income is first small, but hang in there as it could change overnight.

God Bless,

Im so glad i found one like triond. it makes me more aware of what im doing is write and good. my advice is just dont over-do it. everything over is not helping us or anyone.
