There are many ways that article writers are able to earn some money from their writing skills. However, there are not many that provide a substantial living to beginners or even writers with some experience. Most payments are quite small.
As an article writer starting to get some experience it would nevertheless be worth exploring some of these options. Why not get paid while learning how to write articles. You will receive a little bit of money and many readers comments to guide you on your way.
Sites that pay you to submit articles offer different forms of revenue. A few, such as Associated Content, will pay for an article that has not been published anywhere else. Other sites such as Helium or Newswire will pay you a percentage of the click through advertising they make which is mostly through Google's AdSense program.
Neither of these forms of payments will allow you to give up your day job. Nor will the ones where you write a review. Again the rewards are very small. For new article writers it is nevertheless something that will add to experience. Sites to consider are Review Stream, Paid 2 View and many more. They are easy to find.
What is good about writing reviews is that as a writer you are forced to follow a certain format and write your content according to the guidelines provided. It will teach some discipline and will make you focus on the task at hand rather than wander off aimlessly.
As a third option you can set up your own blog focusing on a niche and start writing articles on this topic. Some writers are very popular and are able to make a small living off advertising on their blogs. This may be in the form of Google AdSense or by selling advertising yourself.
You may also work through freelance sites where you bid on jobs on offer. These pay particularly badly though. You could end up earning as little as .50c for a 500 word article. Try GoFreelance for this kind of writing work. This is hardly a lucrative form of income generation.
There are also opportunities to write for publications such as magazines and newspapers. For a new writer this could be intimidating though as you will face many rejection slips. It is definitely easier to start off with lower expectations by writing for the online world.
As a final suggestion you might consider writing an eBook. If you are passionate about a particular topic and you have extensive knowledge you may be able to fill a book. There are many eBooks available online, especially ones that are free. These are mostly poorly written and cover little content.
To write an eBook that you might be able to sell will require a fair amount of effort. Put some effort into researching the hot topics of the moment and write on something that the online community is really looking for. Anything on how to make money should be good to go.
Whatever route you take to make some money, the experience gained will contribute immensely to your task of learning how to write articles.
