The Net is flooded with writing sites that offer writers opportunity to earn online.Some sites have requesters who ask for articles of their choice. There is a fixed amount paid for writers here and the writers get promoted if they are rated high.
There are categories among writing sites that ask for Blogs. Some pay for informative posts, some just want words specifying the minimum but allow writers to write on any subject under the sun. . Some are particular about grammar and spelling and so on.

I get much more than just earning at such sites. This earning, unless one writes for many sites is not enough for one’s survival.

There is more to writing sites than just earning.

1. Many who write are those who do not have offline jobs. For them this is a godsend – an opportunity to keep them occupied. An idle mind is a devil’s workshop, they say


2. With constant writing one gets fluency in the language which would otherwise get blunted.

3. Reading through what others have written one gets to learn a lot. Most Blogs are written after doing research on the Net. We get to read what Bloggers have researched for. Doing it on our own would mean spending a lot of time.

4. These writing sites connect us to the world of writers. Not just writers but those who have varied interests.

5. Interacting is kind of socialising and socialising with those who have common interests is not something one comes across in one’s real world

6. We get to learn about spamming and plagiarising which knowledge one gets only by registering with writing sites. Sadly this is done by those whose main objective of being at writing sites is to earn by any foul means.

I get immense joy in creating posts that are original and that is how I get to keep in touch with the language. Copying or spinning is not what one should go for. Having said that there are writing sites that encourage ready made articles. They are not copied nor plagiarised but there is a software that creates articles based on some keywords and the number of words. You just buy that software.

This software I understand is written by someone who owns a writing site. I am not sure but I quite believe it could be. For writing sites more the number of articles that are written for them the more they would get paid by Advertisers.

Here is the Link

A word of caution for writers. If you ever choose to get your articles done that would be end of you in terms of brushing your language. You will be missing out on so many benefits that a writer gets when they create their own posts, blogs and articles.

I was at a writing site where I noticed many projects were just grabbed by others who I later learnt use writing software and they can therefore finish writing quickly even though we are given two hours and more to write. I do not go there any more.

There are article generators and article spinners and other junk. I think you are talking about spun content. It's garbage. Many times it doesn't even make sense. It's usually easy to see when someone has done this. It used to be used a lot more when keyword stuffing was the way to go. Since that's not a thing any more, hopefully this garbage will be used less frequently.

I like your reasons for writing.

I was writing for iwriter and there I have seen some that produce articles in a matter of minutes and they get 5 stars!!
For me writing here for earnings is just a bonus.

I wish I liked writing more than I actually do because I am able to string a sentence together and if I put my mind to it I know I could probably do well. One of the reasons people are motivated to write is money but the other is their love of writing .. my motivation is more to communicate with or help others and to fill my time now that I am retired.

However, I do enjoy and appreciate a good piece of writing so keep doing what you are doing people, talking about what you love and improving your english :thumbup:

There's the new writing site just waiting for articles. I need to get over there and check it out thoroughly.

We have to pick sites that suit us and be vigilant about how honest they are

The joy factor is important as well. Writers are also able to write for the pure joy of writing and sharing--just like an artist or a hobbyist. Many derive a therapeutic benefit from writing and sharing their thoughts, experience and research on issues.

For me, writing in English is not easy, but I still prefer to create it myself because creativity and thinking is more important to me, as well as pleasure from my original work than something automatic that produces it for me.
If you are a creative person you are more effective and in the long term you will gain more .... :$:

Yes I agree with this. Being creative is cool but being a creative thinker will lead to being on top of your game. It will lead to good outcomes. Your English looks very good to me. :)
