Three Best Sites for Beginning Web Writers

Helium is perfect for beginning writers. If you want to make money writing online, this is highly suggested as a place to start. You can write about anything at Helium, they suggest titles or you can create your own, and earn from revenue share or part of the ad revenues your articles get on the site. Once you’ve earned a writing star, you’re eligible for Upfront Payments.

These can range from $0.50 to $2.50 per article, depending on the number of writing stars you have. Once you’ve built up your writing credentials, you can take on writing assignments in the Marketplace, which pays from $5 to $2,000 per article. Helium also has a referral system where members can get 5% of their referrals’ earnings, and gives out bonuses if you write for new titles ($1) or once you’ve earned five writing stars ($3). Helium accepts original articles with at least 400 words. Articles used elsewhere can still be published in Helium, but Marketplace articles have to be unpublished. Minimum payout viaPaypal is at $25. Leave a comment with your email address and I will send you an invitation to join Helium and beginning making money writing online. Send me your email address to kdgrier4@gmail.comand I will invite you to join Helium.



Writing online for Bukisa, you get paid on the site depending on the number of page views and ad revenues your content receives, which is used in calculating what the site calls the Bukisa Index. Bukisa also has a referral system, where you get 25% of your referral’s earnings. Articles submitted to the site should be original and at least 250 words in length. You can also submit content that has been posted elsewhere, as long as you can prove that it is yours. Bukisa releases payment once you reach $10 via Paypal. I really like Bukisa, it’s fun, and it makes making money writing online a total treat. You can join Bukisa here.

Xomba is a lot of fun too. They hold contests, and you can write pretty much what you like, even short bookmarks of less than 50 words. To make money writing articles with Xomba require that you have a Google Adsense account, (post to come about Adsense and Paypal and how to set them up.) You get 50% of the Adsense ad revenues for the articles you have written for the web. You can also earn from referral program, which gives you 10% of your referral’s ad revenue. These referrals can turn into some serious money if you have friends online and offline who want to write for the web too! Earnings are automatically deposited into your Google Adsense account. You can post anything on Xomba, as long as it is at least 150 words long. By posting bookmarks, or short descriptions of articles you’ve published elsewhere, Xomba can also indirectly help increase your page views and ad revenues on other sites. I highly suggest Xomba as a site to begin with if you want to make money writing online. You can join Xomba here.

All three of the above sites allow me to invite you to become a writer. All I need is your email address, so leave me a comment below and I will send you an invitation to become a writer for Helium, Xomba and Bukisa!

There are a lot of other sites that pay you to write, or pay you revenue for page views, but I don’t want you to get overwhelmed, so I chose the three I like the best. My advice is to sign up and learn about each site one at a time, write something for them, get your feet wet, before you move on to the next. This means of course that it will take some time to begin earning money, but what I want you to be able to concentrate on is actually becoming a good writer. Making money writing online is serious business even when it’s fun!
