Today I want to talk about the different choices you have when it comes to ghostwriting and getting paid to write. There are lots of discussions around the internet for each of the methods that I am going to list here so you can do research and find out what is best for you if you want.
If you are just starting out it is easy to get sidetracked with all the different types of ghostwriting jobs. They can however be broken down into three simple choices. These are:
- Content Mills
- Bidding websites
- Private work
Content mills is where you write articles and content for different websites and you either get paid on a per article basis, you get a share of the revenue earned or you get a set amount per thousand page views. There is a lot of bad press related to these content mills but I like to stay clear of this. In my opinion these websites wouldn’t exist if people weren’t making money from them.
The website that I would be most familiar with in this category is Helium. I have an account with them and I have no complaints. Helium pay you per article and you also get money for page views too. I have to admit, that I don’t use it very often but the articles that I do have on this website continue to earn me money every single day. The more you promote these articles the more money you will make. I know that one of my articles that I published on this website earlier this year has already made me over $200 so I guess that’s not bad for a 500 word article. You have to have $25 in your account before you can request a payment and payment is via paypal.
