101 Websites for the Freelance Writer




Websites for Publishing Writing

this lens' photo
Are you looking for a new website to publish your freelance writing? Many websites allow you to make money by publishing online, including writing articles, reviews, paid forum posting, or poetry. As you probably know, there are websites that pay a hefty sum for writing and websites that pay pennies for hours worth of work.

That is why I have created this list of 101 websites for the freelance writer. (Since it's creation, it's grown to many more than 101 websites and gets bigger every month.) The list has the ranking feature. If you have experience writing for one of these websites, you can help make this list great by voting for your favorite website, or leaving a comment about a website that isn't current in the list. To vote on a writing website, simply click the up arrow to the left of the website link. Finally, some of the links direct you to reviews of the website to provide you with more information. The review will always provide a direct link to sign up at the freelance writing website, if you wish to do so.

When a freelance writer is looking for a new website to submit their content, it is helpful to keep some key points in mind.

Do you retain rights to your freelance writing? Some writers prefer to retain ownership of their freelance writing. Other writers do not mind selling their rights. The terms of a writer agreement are available when registering for a new website. These legal documents often spell out the terms.

Do you prefer passive income or upfront payment from your freelance writing? Often, passive income is the most lucrative form of freelance writing, however some writers need their money quickly, so they will write for upfront payment.

Does the freelance writing website allow links to be added to your writing? Links added to your freelance writing allow you to backlink to your previously written articles. If the freelance writing website allows links you can also insert affiliate links into your writing.

Does the freelance writing website have a good Google page rank? A good Google page rank on a freelance writing website will help your articles get noticed in the search engines.

Does the freelance writing website look professional? You don’t want your freelance writing to be placed alongside unprofessional writing.

Does the freelance writing website have a good reputation? If a website is good to its writers, it will gain a good reputation and that information will be shared on work at home forums.

Does the freelance writing website employ many writers? Some small websites that hire freelance writers are a good gig, but you will minimize your risk by working for a website that is well-known and hires many freelance writers.

Does the freelance writing website have a minimum payout? If a freelance writing website has a large minimum payout, you might be waiting for your writing income for a while.

Does the freelance writing website allow pictures? Your writing will always be better if the website allows pictures throughout.

Does the freelance writing website allow you to delete, or edit your writing? If not, you do not have control over the writing submitted to this website.

What is the Payment Structure of the Freelance Writing Website? If the website doesn’t make upfront payments, you will want to know the payment structure of the website. Do they pay you for the views or ad clicks your writing receives?

Does the freelance writing website allow do follow backlinks? Do follow backlinks from this website to your previous writing will help you older writing gain page rank with Google.

What does the freelance writing website require for writing length? If you earn a dollar a month from your writing on the website and writing length requires 400 words, you have more time invested that you would if the website required 200 words in the writing.

Do YOU Write for Residuals or Upfront Payment?

Express your opinion

There is so much variety to writing online web content. The website that suits me best, may not be best for you. Tell the world about if you prefer writing for upfront payment or residuals. Let us know why you feel that way.

Do YOU prefer writing for Residuals or Upfront payment?

Residuals

says:
wow! This is links galore...Thanks....Great lens.....Upfront is my choice...
says:
Residuals, cause I think better if we get the fee based on what we done.
deepa says:
residuals are best
ScentsWithBling says:
I am just getting started and can see the benefits of both. Really can't pick a side yet

Upfront

fathomblueEG says:
i say both because having several streams of income is better than one.
rihannsu says:
I've been working mostly for upfront pay. Squidoo is my first foray into revenue share.
gonweller says:
Both, but I get whatever makes sense long term. Obviously, it's easier to get a nice solid one time payment for full rights on an article somewhere like Constant Content, which happens to be one of my favorites.
gonweller says:
Yes...both ;)
