I had some home family hospital situations also court that really drained my funds, this last 6 months, need to make some side cash at least 30 bucks/day hopefully more

what suggestions do you have?
I am a pretty good writer and fast typer, So i can do that. but do you think there is enough demand for that per day? I dont think $3 per article is good but If thats the "in demand" price, what would that be? I would prefer $5 but I am sure thats for what? 500 words? Not so concerned about the price for each one as the amount of each I could sell per day.

Also any other suggestions would be appreciated. (things that sell well)

I would head over to Freelancer.com - Hire Freelancers & Find Freelance Jobs Online and look for people needing articles. Another good way would be to edit your signature to have something like this

"Need high quality Articles for $5? Add me on Skype and let me write for your projects today!"

or you could join iWriter : Article Writing Service | Get Content For Your Website, Cheap! and find work there. Also you could post a thread in the warriors for hire section about your service.

If you can write pretty well you can easily get $5 per article.

$3 articles are pretty much spun trash and loaded with grammatical errors.

  so how to market the $5 articles and how long are those articles typically?
  
  Yes I can write pretty well. I am not a journalist but In college I did take an advanced expository writing course for English writing majors, (I was pre-med at the time) and I was the only person in the class to get an A.
  
  For some reason the rest of the class could barely write a coherent sentence. It was baffling to me.
  
  But thanks for all the tips
  
  Thanks

What constitutes a word? an actual word? or a certain number of spaces in a line?

Hi,
I would definitely not charge less than $5/article at the start. If you are like me, I spend time researching so that my information is accurate, and so you have to think of your time spent doing this. If you write well, you can develop a good reputation and charge more later.

  so if I go to the Inn
  
  thats 7 words
  even though a lot of places consider words as 5 spaces, so they count any word as a word no matter how small?
  
  Thanks

  Yes word is a word.
  
  But yes "so if I go to the inn" is 7 words.
  
  To reiterate, it's that number at the bottom of your MS Word document.
  
  Thanks

If you can write as well as you say...you can get a lot more than just $5 an article!

The trick is to build a name for yourself...people need to KNOW that they are getting quality from you.

check out textbroker.co.uk as well...

  You mean here in Warrior Forum? Of course, I think they charge $20 if you are selling a service. In this way, it's a good chance that you are building your own name or brand to be recognized by others.
  
  Thanks
