On Making Over $60 Per Article

The fixed price model looks good to me…

There are two types of price writers get for web content and articles: fixed price per post and money based on the number of views or reads. When you enter into a fixed-price contract, you agree that you are okay with receiving a specific amount per post irrespective of where it has been published and how much it earns the site owner.

For me, getting a fixed price per article is better than worrying about views or reads. At the end of the day, I have to feed my family and it is not possible for me to depend on the amount being paid based on the number of reads or posts.

I once had the chance to write for Informed Comment. It is a good website; it accepts articles related to politics and foreign affairs. The amount you will be paid per accepted story is $60 to $100. Articles should be focused on South Asian and Middle Eastern politics as well as US foreign policy.

Travel + Leisure

Are you good at writing travel articles? If ‘yes,’ then Travel + Leisure is the right website for you. The mode of payment is unspecified but you will get up to $1 per word. Imagine writing only 600 words and making $60 per day. I am sure you will want to apply for a writing job at this site. The article must be engaging and informative. Generic posts are not accepted.
