The number of sites available to write online content for are growing everyday. More often than not, there is a call for signed up writers at these sites to write how to articles. This content is a gold mine for site owners and writers alike.
Choosing the right site to contribute how to articles to is hard. If you are just breaking into writing, understanding the jargon related to compensation can be just as difficult. Phrases like pay per impression and revenue share, or references to algorithms that calculate compensation on a myriad of traffic and advertising elements is daunting to say the least. Add to that the perplexing element that everything is transparent on the web, even if pay is not, and it can lead a writer to scratch his head at the positive and negative reviews of a site. One moment he is reading that a site pays well, pays on time, and in another moment, the site just might be a scam.
Content sites like eHow, InfoBarrel, FireHow and Bukisa are great places to share your know how even if there is differing methodology in pay across the sites. They are known for either paying well or for allowing authors to earn on true impressions that pay directly into their own Google AdSense accounts or other affiliate accounts.
Sites that appear under the radar and seem smaller in scale also offer promise to a beginning writer. Xomba, TipDrop, SheToldMe and FamilyZip share revenue for tips, short articles and bookmarks via a users Google AdSense. SheToldMe even offers revenue from Chitika, another well-known and effective source of online earnings.
Where to start? Pick one. If you don’t have a Google AdSense account you can start with a site that requires no affiliate codes to get started. They pay writers directly via PayPal at predetermined intervals. If you’re interested in your own affiliate advertising accounts many of the sites offer direct sign-up to Google or Chitika. For beginning writers this is a great way to get set up easily with an affiliate since you don’t have to have your own site with a lot of traffic.
What do you write about? Write what you know. If you’re savvy at keyword research you might want to pick a hot topic and go with it. There are plenty of tools to help you get started but the best tool to start with when writing a how to is your own know how.
