The Trials of Job Hunting Aka Why I Chose Online Writing for Pay

To put it simply, it’s so easy! I may only have lived 18 years so far, but for the past four of those, I’ve spent all my time doing something I dread most. Job hunting. I’m not sure if anyone else has had the same trouble I’ve had, but being a teenager and hunting for a job sucks. I am a naturally picky person, and I really didn’t want to spend my time at a fast-food chain or a fancy restaurant, since I have horrible people-skills because talking to strangers terrifies me. I tried the library, baby-sitting, even manual labor, but sadly, no one wanted an inexperienced teenage girl.

So I found something that did. Writing articles online. I mean, it was everything I needed, right? I didn’t need to speak face-to-face to people, and I absolutely loved writing. Why not? I thought.

I even created a little list of pros and cons:

Pros:

• Easy money.
• I didn’t have any pressure from a manager.
• I didn’t have to brush off my people skills.
• It was on my time (which fits my busy schedule).

Cons:

• I wasn’t sure what I could write about/questioning I was good enough to read.
• How would I be sure I was paid?
• People actually reading my stuff so I could get paid.

I found a way to get rid of most of those cons. I learned that if people even click on your article, it counts as a read. That means money, for me. On plenty of sites, they use PayPal to pay, but even wary people like me can have a check sent to you, or even Western Union. How simple is that?And as before, it doesn’t matter if your article is poured over by a bunch of readers, traffic is the magic word. Traffic is simply the amount of people/views your article receives and, depending on the site, you are paid a certain amount simply by having people read your article!
So why not try it? It’s simple and easy for a young adult, teenager and even a single parent of three! It’s on your time, your own style and idea, and you get paid for it! What more could a writer ask for? Try writing articles for many today!
