Get paid to write

There are a number of sites that will allow you to earn extra money online through writing.  Pay rates and terms and conditions vary from site to site and you can usually choose any subject that you like to write about.

One of my favourites at the moment is Triond. They allow you to earn money online by adding articles, poetry, photos and videos. You earn by sharing in the sites revenues.

They have a low minimum pay out level of just fifty cents via PayPal and payments are made every month. You can also choose to receive payment through a money transfer or by cheque.  The site is getting tougher to earn from but if you promote your article you could earn a decent amount for them over time and you retain the copyright so you can republish them elsewhere.

Payments are made on the 15th of the month and you earn 50% of the sites revenues.
