Any writing jobs?

Hi everyone,

I dare say this has been asked many times, but does anyone know of any well paid writing jobs that can be done in my spare time (eves/weekends). I've seen a few essay mills, but don't really agree with them! Is there any websites which take academic style research, or short articles on areas of interest.

Thanks!

    I've written a few articles for academic knowledge. If you have a degree, you could try this.
    Pays alright too.

    Hi Clang_Uk,

    I work for a magazine and I know that we pay our freelance writers anywhere between £50 - £300 for articles written for the magazine. Although I have to admit that we tend to use the same writers in each issue of the magazine but that is because our magazine is specialist, how about doing a bit of research into writing for magazines but I would imagine like the magazine that I work for you would have to have some experience in the particular field the magazine caters for.

    Hope this helps.

    Have you looked into writing articles for Internet Marketers.

    I pay £3 for a 400-500 word article that only takes a few minutes to complete.

    Do any local businesses have blogs? On a friends website he currently type his own blog, but has guests all the time to ensure it is constantly updated with new and fresh info.

    Theres a few options anyway
