Writing for ZestBIT

In the Suite forums a writer posted that he used ZestBIT to promote his articles. From his post, I gathered that ZestBIT is like Xomba. Writers create short blurb, blogs, or promos for their articles and post a link to them from within ZestBIT.

I gave it a shot and I was pretty impressed with how easy ZestBIT is to use. As far as the writing interface tool, ZestBIT is pretty amazing. However they are supposed to pay writers for submitting content. I checked back today, and I am not getting credit for any of my views. I have some analytics software that allows me to see that my ZestBIT article IS indeed getting traffic from a link I established online, but ZestBIT isn't giving me credit for them.

So, my opinion is that if you want to use ZestBIT as a quick and easy way to promote your writing go ahead. ZestBit certainly has made it easy to write quick promos for your articles. Just don't count on getting paid for your writing at ZestBIT.

Writing for eCopywriters

eCopywriters is a company that currently pays writers to work from home. With eCopywriters you earn up-front payment only. Writers begin at 2 cents per word with a rating of 2. As your rating improves, so does the amount you earn per word.

There is not a lot of work available during the week, but there is plenty available on the weekends. If you are looking for a way to pick up some extra money in your spare time, eCopywriters is a great way to do it. You can find more information about applying with eCopywriters on the right toolbar of this blog. It is listed under "Work at Home Writing Jobs - Upfront Payment."

Having waited several days for my writing to be reviewed, I searched the internet and found several writers posting to forums that they were unhappy about it taking a while for assignments to be approved for payment. Apparently, the client must approve the writing before you can get paid and some clients take their time. Everyone eventually gets paid, but it can take up to 2 months. Two of the three assignments I finished in the beginning of November were approved in time for the December 1st payment. The third assignment is still pending.

Grading and Scoring Aptitude Tests Online

November through April, I stay busy grading aptitude tests. I grade these tests for two companies Educational Testing Systems (ETS) and Pearson. As an at home scorer, you are required to complete several hours of training before each scoring session. Training is paid. I personally earn $10-$20 per hour grading tests and it is one of my favorite ways to earn money from home. Their system measures your accuracy as you score tests. If your scoring accuracy drops below a certain level (usually 75%), you will be asked to retake the training. If your scores still are not accurate, you will not be allowed to score the project.
