Earn Money By Selling Your Content to These 3 Websites
Your articles are definitely worth more than pennies
An article’s success depends on 3 fundamental puzzles.
- What to write.
- How to write.
- Where to publish.
While the first two can be solved with practice and countless pieces of advice on the internet, the last one is the real bet. Knowing the right place to publish your article can change the whole game.
I handpicked a few great websites that pay you a flat fee based on the quality of your article. I have also shared my tips on how to get your articles accepted by these publications (at the bottom of the post).
DigitalOcean
If you have a thing for technical writing and want to try your hands at it, this website is exactly what you needed. Digital Ocean constantly looks for skilled writers with good tech knowledge to contribute to their vast library.
The payout is as good as $350 per piece. Provided the articles you submit are unique, informative, and written as per the guidelines.
Besides that, the process of submitting an article is simple and straightforward.
- Pitch to the website with a topic idea and tutorial outline along with a writing sample to showcase your skills.
- If you get accepted, you can collaborate with the editor team to get help with sample articles and suggestions.
- Write your article according to the website’s guidelines and submit your draft.
- Once the article is accepted, the payment is released to you instantly. On top of that, if your article is good enough, DigitalOcean might as well feature it on their official social media channels, allowing your work to get maximum exposure.
InstantShift
Here comes the write about programming and get paid scheme. Instant shift specifically accepts articles associated with programming and design. If you don’t actively write about programming and design but can write about it with proper research, the website has its doors open for you, anyway.
You can choose to become a part-time and a full-time contributor. Your payout will be decided based on the volume and quality of your articles.
To submit your pitch, visit their website and submit your name, email address, and the pitching message. Instant shift team will reach out to you soon with further instructions.
Metro Parent
Metro Parent is a famous online parenting magazine, accepting articles that best fit their niche and standards. Anyone capable of writing engaging articles packed with valuable parenting advice is always on their wanted list.
The payout ranges from $35 to $350 per article based on the type and quality of the content. If you have a decent writing experience with unique insights on parenting and child psychology, there is no better place than Metro Parent to make the best use of your skills and knowledge.
Before you pitch your article to the magazine, you have to check out their requirements and standards. Write an informative article with high readability and submit it in doc format via their website. Once your article is accepted, the payment will be credited to the given account.
How to increase your chances to get accepted by these websites.
- Keep the guidelines in your mind while writing.
- Write something unique.
- Check out the previous work published by the websites.
- Keep the balance between quality and readability.
- If you are asked for a sample article, submit the one that you think partially or completely matches their guidelines.
- Write a pitch that is hard to ignore.
Bottom Line
Although all these websites entertain specific topics, that shouldn’t be an excuse for you to ignore them. An ideal writer is always ready to experiment, take challenges, and go beyond the comfort of his regular niche. That’s how your worth as a writer is tested.
Research, write, pitch, and repeat. Calling yourself a writer is not enough. Live like one.
Best of luck.
