The technology evolution has turned life into a very complex zone. Life is no longer as simple as walking to the farm and picking fruits. Technology has made all things possible and it has made income generating schemes through the internet easier for everybody to achieve. Simply said, the Internet has provided a good place to earn money while sitting in the comforts of your home. It is not anymore a question of whether you are going to wake up early to report to work nor is it a question if you could go home early to cook for your family. It is just a question of your ability to make money sitting in front of your computer in the comfort of your room.
This computer age has made people more aware of earning money online. But earning money online is not easy. There are always works to be done before one could really earn money. It starts from a few cents then add up to a dollar until finally you see the dollars popping out and you will finally say, you are earning money online.

This is not an easy way of earning money. The internet had provided an easier way to earn money but you have to do a lot of working if you want the money. Writing is one of the best ways to earn money online. Writing sites are popping now and then providing a place for writers to write and earn money. But writing sites are not always reliable and stable. Many writing sites have not thrived online and many sites are already closed for business.

As a writer, you don’t want your work to just go down the drain so you strive hard to research and look for writing sites that are reliable and that have good standing. If you are not from the US, Canada and UK, you have less chances of making real money from your writings. You just have to be patient searching for sites that really pay and how much.

Here are some writing sites that are proven to pay writers internationally:

Triond

Triond is a good site especially now that it has integrated google adsense to the site for writers to earn more. Writers could earn through revenue sharing and google adsense.

Helium

Helium is also a good site for writers. This is also a revenue sharing site but there are many ways where you could earn in Helium. If you invite a writer you could earn from your invites articles. There are also contests that you could earn from. You could also earn from the Market place which pay writers from $5 to $200 depending on the kind of article you have written. Helium pay writers according to the number of stars they have. For a 1 star writer, $0.50/article, for a 2-star writer, $1.00, for a 3-star writer, $1.50, for a 4-star writer, $2.00 and for a 5-star writer, $2.50. It is not so hard to gain a star, just write good articles and you will soon see stars popping. There is also earning from your ratings. If you have gained 5 rating stars, there is an additional $3 monthly earning. This is better I guess than clicking ads. Helium is one of the sites that I love writing for because I am earning from this writing site.
