Things You'll Need
internet
Writing Articles - There are many websites that will pay you to write articles online. Some pay you based on the number of views, some pay you a percentage of profits from ad clicks, others pay you for the time you put into writing articles. How much you earn depends on your writing abilities, the amount of time invested, and the earning potential of the website for which you are writing. It is difficult to give a per rate, but earnings generally range from nothing to $50.00 per hour.
Bukisa - Bukisa is relatively new. Because it is new, there is a large earning potential. Besides earning money for your writing, you can earn money by referring other writers. They have a payment method similar to Suite 101 and eHow. You are paid a revenue sharing percentage based on advertisement clicks.
Helium - Helium also pays writers based on advertisement clicks. Helium is great for new writers, because the editorial process is very lax. That also happens to be the downfall to Helium, as your articles are featured next to other articles that are not always well written.
eHow - If you have not yet signed up for the eHow writer's compensation program, do so now! eHow pays a percentage of ad revenues and is a great place for new writers to get started. Many new writers are earning a great deal of money through the writer's compensation program here at eHow.
Demand Studios - If you want to become an eHow editor, you can sign up to write for Demand Studios. You are paid a flat rate of $15 per article. If you are looking to earn money immediately this is a great way to get paid up front. However, if you have faith that your article has an earning potential greater than the flat rate of $15, the eHow writer's compensation program is the way to go.
Suite 101 - Suite 101 also pays based on advertisement traffic. Suite 101 has a great editorial process and if you are accepted to write for Suite 101, you can learn a lot by writing for them. They do not accept all articles, but the earning potential is very good. Also, anyone wanting to become a better writer can learn a great deal from Suite 101. As a writer for Suite 101, you begin by writing on specific subjects. As you become a more seasoned writer, you are allowed to branch out and cover other areas.
Textbroker - Textbroker. com requests specific titles to be written. You are paid a flat rate based on your writer ranking. If you want to earn cash up front on your articles, textbroker is a great place to earn quick
Paid Forum Posting - Paid forum posting does not have the earning potential that article writing does, but if you enjoy posting in forums you can earn extra cash easily.

Here are a few forums that pay users a small posting incentive:
