  1. Nice list, Erik! There’s deff a site or two I hadn’t heard of.
    Unfortunately Break Studios’ last article appeared sometime in 2012 and they just abandoned everything after that (to the best of my knowledge). I have checked many times since then to no avail.

    An old site called “Crowd Source” is gaining traction, though. Once you gain access, they present you with a bunch of short tasks (mostly Yahoo Answers style). You can claim or “grab” any job you like from the list and complete it. They also pay the day after approval, so you don’t have to wait a week or a month.

    I also have a bit of a list, dedicated to similar sites where you can “grab” assignments from a pool. (sorry if the link is inappropriate, feel free to remove it!)

    Sites like TextBroker and iWriter:
    writertown.com/9-websites-like-textbroker/

    Thanks Erik, enjoy your week!
    Elvis

    • I think what they did with Break Studios was that they picked a handful of writers and made them permanent. No matter how many times I’ve logged into their writing platform over the years, there’s never anything available. Unless they only add 1-2 articles a week, in that case it would be pretty hard for me to ever see anything :p

      Crowd Source pays, on average, $2.50 per task via PayPal (many of them look like Yahoo Answers-type questions). They usually have no less than 1,000 tasks available (although many of them can’t be written due to how odd the questions are, combined with strict guidelines).

      Once you reach a certain approval rating and/or complete a certain amount, they increase your level. This allow you to earn $2.75 to $3. or so, depending on your level.

      I write there once in a while, but not enough to know everything about them. Either way, it’s a decent source to check here and there.

  2. This is a very useful resources for writers who want to build a freelance writing career by getting hands-on experience and getting paid for it. I would probably add Infobarrel (earn cash from their IB Ads System) and Bubblews (lots of visitors = cash). I’m not sure how the latter works, but I’ve heard good things about it and that they pay very well, too. Nonetheless, these don’t detract the fact that this a very good post. Will be sharing it on my social media account.. Good job, Erik!

  3. Hey Erik,
    A very useful resource I must remark! I am not even aware of most of these sources to get paid for writing. Its worth bookmarking. I am going to check out each and everyone of them to see what they offer at real time ;D Moreover, I will like testimonials and reviews on these sites!
    I left the above comment in kingged.com as well

  4. Hi Erik,

    Nice list, indeed! 🙂

    I know about iWriter, my brother tried it to be a writer there. It seems that I am still at the beginner level. 😆

    Yes, I know about Break Studios. I have written a review about this before. But, I had no idea that Break Studios will be at the level of experts. 🙂

    For others, this is the first time I heard about them. I learned something new today. 🙂

    Thanks for sharing this with us, Erik.
    Hope you can enjoy the rest of this week!

  10. Freelancing is becoming increasingly popular because people want to take control of their lives and start their own things. Websites that pay for writing is great ways for freelancing newbies to make some cash and grow their portfolio. I think that people should eventually branch out from using sites that pay for their writing if they want to grow their own business and make more money. The sites that you have listed here are some great sites. Some of them I have not heard of and will have to look more into them.

  11. Good list, let me try with iwriter for no and if i get more orders will focus on other sites too. What you say Erik?

  12. Just the thing I was looking for.

    However, I believe I’m not that good in writing.

    Gonna bookmark it, thanks, I mean it.

  13. Hi Erik,

  15. Hello Erik sir,

    I just dropped by to tell that I got a little success in my writing job. This article informed me about dotwriter and I tried it few times.

    I got rejected the first 3 times. But I submitted one more, of course, the previous 3 had taught me a lot.

    This time, I got it approved.

    Just wanted to give you a big thank you for letting me know about these sites.

    One thing I found out, dotwriter doesn’t accept lose writing, they only want solid info written concisely with no grammatical / punctuation mistakes.

    And if you’d be kind enough to look at that approved article, it’s in the link, hope you don’t mind that I placed it there.

    Thank u so much, sir.

    Keep well.
