These Sites Pay $1 A Word, And They Are Looking For Content Writers
Aspiring writers should apply as soon as possible…
If you have been told that there are no well-paying writing jobs for aspiring writers, you need to change your mentor. I am one of you, and I know how important it is to have a consistent flow of work. At the end of the day, we all need money to pay our bills and meet other expenses.
New writers keep struggling for months or even years and often get tired of the whole hiring process. They are asked to submit their applications or to publish content, but the pay offered to them is insufficient. What if I tell you that some publications are paying $1 or more per word? Here is a list of a few of them.
AARP
AARP is a popular online magazine that is accepting posts on personal finance, health, travel, and other similar areas. Your work should appeal to 50-year-old citizens or older people. It pays $2 per word for print and $1 for online work.
Allure
Allure is a magazine for women. Its focus is on beauty and health. If you can write great how-to posts on beauty, this is the right kind of site for you. The process can be begun by contacting an editor on social media or submitting your pitch directly through the website. Travel and wellness articles and tips are accepted only if they are properly researched and well cited. The payment is $3000 to $6000 per story, and the range of words should be 1700 to 2000.
