Article Writing - Best and Worst?

I'd like to give this a go.

I'm fairly opinionated, and do enjoy writing. Do these articles get posted on a certain website, or are you to set up your own?

I'm writing for Infobarrel at the moment, and am currently looking at another site suggested to me by Sherry. Let me know if you're interested in signing up for Infobarrel.

I'd be interested to learn more about people's experiences. I have experience of writing articles and my student loan is getting very low. I could use some income.

I'm only at the beginning of this so can't really report earnings so far. From what I've read, it takes time to build income so maybe not ideal of your student loan will run out soon. Could be a good idea to build up income for next time it does though.

Hi all

I am a pro photographer but cannot work at the moment (heart attack).

I need to earn some money while recovering and I would like to write articles about photography. I do enjoy writing when I have the time, which I do now. I also have a good knowledge of my subject having worked as a pro for thirty years in a variety of photographic market places.

I would very much appreciate any advice or pointers to advice.

Best wishes
Mark

Hi Mark,

All article websites will happily accept articles on the subject of photography.

I'm not an expert on the subject, but from what I've heard, if you have expertise on any subject and can write many articles around the same subject, creating you're own niche website/blog can be the better way to go.

Same principles apply though - work now for pay off later!

So good for building income but not so helpful if you need the money now.

Good luck and hope you have a speedy recovery

Hi be cue,

I'm up for the challenge! I've been looking for ways to up my income for a while and this seems perfect. I love writing and I have written articles on making home fragrance items for fun for a friend's website so I know I can do it!

Any recommendations for the best site? Also, how much should I expect to earn in the long term for 3 articles a week or so? I'm not signed up with anyone ATM so up for suggestions.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Kevie, I'm writing for Infobarrel who I am finding very good so far (PM me if you don't mind me referring you).

I am told that a total of around 100 articles is where you'll be likely to start to see more significant earnings.

Well done Izzy! :T

Thank you for the list Boomtown. Don't have experience of all of them so worth checking out.

Hubpages is going down in popularity now though and many people are moving articles from there and Ehow to Infobarrel.

Ehow not an issue for us in the UK anyway as they only pay US based writers!
