List of 4 Content Sites

[SouthernFriedJulie]

I wrote and posted a list of 4 sites that pay more that $5 an article as I promised in the Edubook thread. Keep in mind that some require higher quality for higher pay.

I'll post more as I find them

Thanks for posting this! I tried Demand Studios and was almost hysterical at their comments, etc. I wrote a 200 word fact-back piece and went round and round with DS for THREE freakin days - and finally threw in the towel - all that for $5.00??? I don't think so. I might try some of the others.

You're welcome. :-) I don't make any claims at these places being great, just that they pay more than a few bucks in most cases. Those aren't affiliate links, either. If I post that sort of thing, it'll be noted.

They've got a lot of new editors at DS, so they're still learning the ropes. Sorry you had troubles. I just had 4 $5 Fact sheets approved, so maybe tis settling down. I usually do the $15 How-To's myself, as well as proof titles.

Off to look at the listy...

Thanks Julie!!!

[Kathleen Roberts]

Very helpful. Thank you. :) I've sent it to my mom who is just getting started writing online. I think she'll find it helpful.

As a side note, I just started with Demand and so far I like it. It doesn't pay nearly what LTK does, but I enjoy the topics so far and the writing is easier (hence, the lower pay). I think it will be nice for "filler" work. :)

Thanks, Julie!

Re: Demand Studios - My first couple of weeks there were fine, all my articles went through without a hitch. This last week? Every article I've sent in came back for rewrite, some for stupid things. One fact sheet came back and I just deleted it. I'm not doing any extra work for five bucks. I still like the site overall, but I'll be glad when the new editor growing pains are over.

[SouthernFriedJulie]

Guess what? The editor from Looking For Clues came by and commented! He thanked me for endorsing LFC and calling him friendly. I /told/ you he was nice!

That reminds me- it is great PR with some sites and editors to let them know just how much you enjoy or enjoyed working with them. Even on a personal blog! If you have a blog detailing your experiences, post the positive ones, not just negatives. You never know who might be watching.

(by the way, I'm pretty sure I learned that by reading Deb Ng's blog, www.freelancewritinggigs.com so I can't take credit for that nugget!)

[SouthernFriedJulie]

Here's a list of magazines-Parenting focused- to go with that list. If a mod wants to move this to sharing leads, I'd be grateful.

If you're looking for a specific niche, tell me. I'll find the guidelines. I'll be posting some big names soon, too.

I’m following now and I love the layout. I won’t copy but I’m going to learn and borrow from you in the future. Thanks for all the great advice Julie.

:-) Thanks! I haven't updated in a while. Need to. If I knew people actually followed me, I guess I'd get off my butt, yikes!

[Still Seaking]

Now you know! :-P

Argh. That means I need to get back to blogging. Darn you people, making me work. ;-)

Hello Julie.
Thank you very much for this informative blog which is very useful for me. Keep them coming because I need more link for article.

[KT Golightly]

Thanks for these ideas Julie.

Looking for Clues is no longer accepting writers at this time, however.
