The reason I'm focusing on posting about sites for writing is because writing is one of the most wanted products online. Almost everyone that wants to make money online will have a website, e-book, or blog and a lot of them either are no good at writing or would rather pay someone else to do it and use their time to promote their site. This means there is a huge market for people to write articles, e-books, and reviews for people to use on their websites!
Fiverr - Link
Fiverr is a website where people list things they will do for $5. People can hire them and pay $5 for the job, or you can offer to do jobs and when complete you will receive $4 for the work. I haven't had luck yet but I haven't posted many gigs yet. It is a great resource for if you need writing done or many other small jobs, as well as if you want to make quick money. I know a lot of people that have made a quick $20, it is all about posting up a good enough gig and finding someone who needs it. People can also post on the site if they have a job they want done. You can click their name and message them if you have a gig that fits their needs. In fact, if you look on the right, I have a wiget listing my Fiverr gigs. No matter what you are good at, there is probably someone on Fiverr that would want it done.
Constant Content - Link
Constant Content is one of the biggest sites webmasters buy their content from. You simply write an article and send it in. When it sells, you get paid. Everyone I have spoken to has said their articles sell, and the more you sell, the more traffic you get through the articles you have for sale. Meaning your articles will sell faster the more you submit. Definitely check this out if you know how to write! And if don't write, bookmark this because eventually you may be in the market for buying content!
E-Lance - Link
E-Lance is an online freelance website. Companies hire writers, web developers, graphic designers, translators, and tons of other freelancers on there. Personally, I have had little luck because it is full of people that will work for nothing and have a confirmed history with the site. This is something you may want to dabble in if you have skills outside of those that include writing articles and things you would want to do for Fiverr, or if you have a large portfolio for people to look at.
I'm open to more suggestions if people have other freelancing or writing sites! Feel free to post them here, on twitter, on facebook, or email me! And on that note, please feel free to follow this blog and our twitter as well as like our facebook to get up to date information on new blog posts or new findings in between blog posts!
If you are interested in writing and are not sure if you are "good enough" or just want to brush up or learn the basics, these highly recommended books may help as well.
The first book is one I would seriously recommend to anyone who has never done any formal writing before. It is very easy to read and understand and covers the basics beautifully.
The second books a great reference for writers of any level. Covers basics and more advanced writing in one book, though a little bit of a harder read than the first if you are new to writing.
The third book specifically refers to article and e-book writing, the type of writing most people will end up doing if they are working at home. A good reference if you are a mid-level writer getting into the business of writing for profit or if you have already finished reading the first book.
