    Hi there,

    Someone on this forum -I think it was Russell- casually mentioned I could easily make money writing articles at $5. The problem is how do I find website owners or webmasters needing articles? I have written various articles previously for associatedcontent and would like to know how I could easily link up with webmasters who need articles. If you're interested in checking the samples, I'll send them to you. I can meet deadlines and produce high quality content.

    Start contacting people. Put together a sales package and include some of your best writing samples. Email webmaster, tell them about your services, and ask if they need your help.

    It's really important today to build name recognition. Without trust, it will be diffficult to get the ball rolling. If you know an IMer, contact him/her and ask if you can write a few articles for them in exchange for a testimonial. Ask for referrals.

    Hope some of these tips help you get started....good luck!

    There are plenty of people looking for that service in the Buy, Sell, Trade section -> Content Creation. I'm not sure where you are from, but your english appears to be pretty good. Therefore, you've got a jump on the vast majority of people who want writing jobs.

    It's not that hard I don't think to get started.

    All you need to do is write about 2 - 5 articles on a very popular niche, a niche that many webmasters would probably want the articles for. The reasons for this is because the 2 - 5 articles on this niche will be sort of like your portfolio of work that you have previously done. You can then go to the Buy, Sell or Trade section of this Forums and then offer your services there. People will ask for previous work that you have done and you can show them your 2 - 5 articles. Make sure they don't copy them as they are just an example. If someone then wants articles on that niche of them 2 - 5 portfolio articles you can also sell them, which I why I said write them from a popular niche. Once you have sold them, you can always ask you old customers if you can use some of the articles you have done for them to show your new and upcoming customers.

    My friend, you must first concentrate on making atleast 500+ post on DP. Then you must take part in forum paid posting related jobs. Start earning itrader points. After completing the above parameters, you must then start selling your article on DP.Try to earn your credibility first and then sell your articles.

    Considering the amount of people being cheated .People won't trust you as your post is less.

    Try providing people over here with free articles first get their feedback and then you start your own thread.

    You could join elance, and bid on the jobs that are posted.


    You could use leadsbyvideo to create a quick video explaining what you do and get it on the playlist. The viewers there are mainly webmasters looking for quality traffic and business owners selling products online (both an audience that would welcome your services).

    Try get a getafreelancer.com and elance.com. Probably worthwhile posting some craigslist ads.

    Another way to make money from writing and submitting articles...

    Write as many as you'd like, whenever you'd like and sell the resource boxes on a 6 month or year long contract. Your articles become your inventory.

    AC has been, in my opinion, one of the easiest ways to make money online with content writing. No other site online will pay as much as them except for constantcontent dot com, but they only pay if your article sells, so it's a bit of a gamble. Otherwise, do as Hope said and put a package together and go out to webmasters and ask if they need you
