Here’s a chance for you to get started writing for money with no experience and no outlay – you don’t even need a blog or website, just access to a computer and the internet.
There’s a website called Constant-Content and it’s where independent authors – or freelance writers if you prefer – can submit work for sale. Some are seasoned pros, some are just getting started. 
That’s actually not important because all that matters is the writing. It’s like a market where people who need articles or blog posts can view work by multiple authors and buy what they need.
All you have to do is submit articles, wait until someone takes up the option on them, then get paid for your writing!
It really is that simple, it’s free to join and money goes straight into your Paypal account. Constant-Content take 35% – which is a fair chunk – but you can price with that in mind and you can still make very good money. What you can charge is considerably higher than sites like e-lance because all articles go through an approval process and buyers are prepared to pay for quality written content.
There is an interesting multiple-pricing scheme too. If a buyer just wants to use your article just once, they pay for “Usage”. If they want to use it multiple times they pay “Unique”. There’s a third option, “Full Rights”, which gives them the option to do more or less anything they like to it. Each option is, of course, a little more expensive than the previous one – in other words you get paid more for the same piece of work!
So basically you can just submit short pieces of writing – 500 to 1,000 words is the norm – and wait until the money rolls in or…
…or you could be much more pro-active. If you have a particular specialty then writing for money in an area you know will be easier for you. However, if you just enjoy writing – and you don’t mind doing a bit of research – you could browse the site and pick those areas which appear most lucrative. Spread your writing around and you’ll find that some markets will pay higher than others. Test and adapt.
Don’t be misled by the fact that a lot of articles show zero downloads – which would suggest that nobody is buying. Articles which are bought “Unique” or “Full Rights” are removed from the site, so you won’t ever see the higher paying articles – the money is already in some writer’s pocket!
There’s an additional writing opportunity here – and one that could prove even more financially rewarding. It’s called “Public Requests”.
Some people searching for writing either can’t find what they’re looking for or want specific, custom-written articles. They submit a “Public Request” (you just need to check your inbox at the site to see these). These can be on virtually any subject you can think of. For instance, yesterday’s were hair care, digital fine art printing, cycling and telecom trends – a pretty broad spectrum!
If you can write for these you stand to get a higher rate than normal, and you’ll frequently find that people are looking to enter into long-term relationships with writers. One of yesterday’s requests wanted 10 articles of 800 words and was prepared to pay $50 to $100 for each. If you could knock out those articles in a couple of days that’s between $500 and $1000 – which is not bad money for a bit of freelance writing!
No it’s not “easy money” and not everyone pays that high (although some do pay more). You need to look at it as an opportunity. Especially if you’re just starting out. It’s also something you can do here and there, on and off. You might want your writing for money to be in a different area but if you can pick up a couple of hundred dollars here and there for submitting a few articles while you are in between jobs it would seem foolish not to!
