getting paid to write articles..where..how?

Thanks for the resources Alexa, passed them on to my writers. (suppose I'd better start looking for new ones!)

Some really nice resources. Would really help!!

Freelancewritingggigs.com and WritersWeekly.com are two other good sources of freelance writing job listings. I started out making money online by freelance writing (this was nearly 9 years ago now, wow!), and I got my first couple of jobs off of these two sites, and from FreelanceWriting.com (FreelanceWritingGigs.com used to go by a different name, but it's essentially the same site it was back then, run by the same person).

I've also used Freelancer.com to get some jobs, but I've only picked up a few there because the pay rates being offered are usually very low. I've only gone for well paying gigs there, and got a few nice ones that actually paid what the gig was worth.

I spent two years making between $12 and $16 per article as a copywriter for a company that has now gone out of business, but it was a good gig while it lasted. I'm approved as a freelance writer at several other places online now, including Demand Media, Text Broker, eCopywriters, and Content Current, but I usually don't waste my time with them unless I need some emergency cash, because the bulk of my income now comes from site flipping. And site flipping is a lot more fun and less tedious (not to meniton more lucrative) than freelannce writing, at least to me.

But if you want to do it, there are TONS of places online where you really can get paid to write.
