    Lightbulb Long List of Work-At-Home Jobs & Online Places To Sell

    Here is a VERY long list of work-at-home and extra money jobs. I was emailed this list back in December. Not sure how up-to-date it is but atleast it's somewhere to start. Also, you will probably not be able to link from my post but just copy and paste the link in your search and it should get you where you need to go.

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Start here:
    Rat Race Rebellion - Screened work at home and telecommute job leads from Staffcentrix (look on the left hand side.) These are screened work at home and telecommuting jobs

    Info from http://www.womenforhire.com -


    http://www.womenforhire.com/work_at_home.asp provides this info:
    Lawyers deciding whether or not to accept a case or looking for preliminary feedback on cases they're currently handling use various websites as a cost-effective tool for research and focus groups before heading into a real courtroom.

    Sites including www.ejury.com, www.onlineverdict.com, www.zapjury.com, www.trialpractice.com pay nominal fees to home-based e-jurors, ranging from $10 to $60, depending on the length of the e-trial. Research all of the sites and read the requirements before signing on to serve.

    Mystery Shopping NEVER PAY ANYONE TO BE ALLOWED TO MYSTERY SHOP. THAT IS A RACKET! Here are lots of free companies on here:

    Mystery Shopping

    Get paid to shop and eat at great restaurants, and then report back to the corporate headquarters on the level of service and cleanliness to help improve the experience for future customers. There are opportunities to earn small amounts of money -- and get free products and services -- here and there, depending on where you live.

    A legitimate opportunity should not cost you any money. It should give you the chance based on your profile, interests and background.

    One helpful resource in learning more about the industry and finding links to opportunities is www.mysteryshop.org.

    Talk Tech- If you're an experienced IT professional and you enjoy problem-solving and quality customer service, you may be able to work from home providing tech support via phone, online and in-person to customers nationwide. As an independent contractor or employee (this varies per company), you'd work from your own home office, set your own hours, and service clients in your area.

    Some of the companies to explore include www.computerassistant.com, www.geeksontime.com, www.supportfreaks.com, and www.plumchoice.com.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Drive for Dollars-I'm not talking about becoming a taxi driver or chauffer; you can make money by driving your normal route while allowing your car to feature advertisements. Specially-created decals are provided to drivers to affix to the back window.

    Depending on your location and the amount of driving you do -- usually a minimum of 100 miles a month is required -- you can earn $50 to $150 a month by "renting out" this space on your car. You can make even more money -- up to $500 a month -- by allowing your car to be fully wrapped with an advertiser's images and message.

    Search online using keywords "car wrap advertising" to locate opportunities nationwide. Adsaroundtown.com and Alienadvertising.com are two options among thousands of companies, so don't be shy about calling around to compare rates and advertising opportunities to find the best fit for you. Never settle on the first company you find since there could be a more lucrative option available to you.

    www.adsaroundtown.com, www.adsmartoutdoor.com, www.autowrap.com, www.drivingpromotions.com, www.autowrapped.com, and www.alienadvertising.com.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Nurses on Call Registered nurses who don't want to work in traditional hospital settings or doctors' offices -- or who want to supplement their income -- can put their knowledge to work at home. Several companies, such as www.fonemed.com and www.mckesson.com, hire nurses to provide phone-based triage and advice to callers requesting information on medical conditions and reactions to medication. Home-based nurses can also provide sound advice to patients on disease management and health care options so they're armed with information to make the best decisions about their care.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Recruit From Home-Many service-oriented businesses are allowing professionals to work virtually. This is certainly true in the field of recruiting. Some of the opportunities are commission-only: You must recruit a candidate who is hired by an employer in order to receive any money. Others offer a base salary, plus commission.

    Go to the big job boards -- HotJobs.com, Careerbuilder.com, Monster.com -- and search using the key words "virtual recruiter" or "home-based recruiter." You'll see many openings to which you can apply. Watch out for scams. Never agree to wire money or pay anything for the jobs.

    The other option is to search on Google or Yahoo for contingency search firms and/or placement agencies. Cold-call them to ask whether they hire home-based recruiters or impress them with your phone skills so that they decide to make you their first virtual recruiter. Explore www.pioneerstaffing.com.

    To be successful, you must be a super-savvy networker and possess knowledge of recruitment tactics. Oftentimes, some training will be provided if you can prove that you're a highly networked, resourceful professional.

    Medical Coding and Transcription- Medical coding and transcription can't always be performed at home, especially with strict privacy policies and guidelines. However, there are many companies that hire home-based workers with the skills and experience to provide both services. Keep in mind, however, that it's very difficult for entry-level, inexperienced candidates to get hired to perform such work from home.

    In most cases, in addition to the proper training, you must have your own computer, high-speed Internet access, and, where applicable, headphones and a foot pedal. In an effort to weed out the poor quality schools, the American Association for Medical Transcription, in conjunction with the American Health Information Management Association, has been approving medical transcription schools based on the AAMT Model Curriculum. There is a list of approved schools on the AAMT website. http://www.aamt.org/scriptcontent/mtapproved.cfm

    Some companies also require you to have your own software; others will provide it. In addition to finding appropriate employers online by searching Google or the big job boards, you can check out www.mtjobs.com, www.medquist.com, www.healthiva.com, www.precysesolutions.com, and www.amphionmedical.com.
    SpeakWrite (formerly Cybersecretaries) http://www.speak-write.com/CustomerN...Employment.cfm

    If you're interested in starting your own coding or transcription business, begin with medical offices in your area. Ask the doctors you know how they handle such tasks and offer to provide your services. As with any new business, expect to get many rejections before you finally get a yes. Then remember, if you can get one yes, you can get two, then four and so on.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Connect With Clients as a Concierge-Do you think you have what it takes to handle phone, e-mail, and online customer inquiries for services that range from making dinner suggestions and reservations to planning a vacation for busy professionals? What if the caller asked you to locate the dress Julia Roberts wore in "Ocean's Eleven," rent monkeys for a birthday party, or help write a speech for a best man?

    Those are some of the common and quirky requests asked of home-based concierge agents at VIPdesk, one of the leading services. VIPdesk's clients are executives and employees of some of the top companies in the world, all of whom are willing to pay for such services of convenience. VIPdesk hires home-based agents who are highly resourceful and have prior experience in high-end customer service, travel and/or hospitality. Apply online at www.vipdesk.com.

    Because concierge services are growing in popularity as a benefit for businesses of all sizes, consider starting your own service. Contact employers in your area about offering services of convenience to their staffers. For example, a doctor's office might require its staff to work long hours to accommodate patient needs. Employee absenteeism can cause a disruption or slow down in services. It may be more beneficial for the medical practice to pay an outsider like you to handle errands and special chores for a nurse than to give that nurse a day off. This same theory applies to companies where staffers work long hours or are required to travel regularly. So use this approach when pitching your services.

    Culinary Consultant

    Think you have what it takes to whip up culinary magic in the kitchen? That just might qualify you to become a home-based consultant for Chefsline.com, which provides live, professional advice to anyone who needs help with cooking or baking.

    Chef consultants must excel at cooking, teaching and customer service, and must be available to take calls for a minimum of eight hours per week during afternoon and evening hours. A culinary degree is preferred, but not required. A specialty in regional cuisine is desirable, such as African, Latin American, Middle Eastern or French, among others. Compensation ranges from $7.50 to $30 an hour, depending on expertise.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    If you've got a strong entrepreneurial spirit, you can also offer to plan and execute cooking demonstrations in supermarkets, gourmet shops or private homes. Or find clients who'll allow you to plan their meals, shop for groceries, and prepare dinner. Time-strapped individuals often dream of having an affordable personal chef instead of relying on frozen dinners and takeout.

    Become a Blogger-Blogging and media-sharing on the Internet are superhot right now, with no signs of fading any time soon. Web sites with videos, personal content and gossip are raking in advertising dollars with each click of the mouse.

    You can become a professional blogger, too. Web sites such as www.eefoof.com allow you to post videos and photographs, and then receive a percentage of the site's revenue, which is generated from advertising associated with page views and clicks to the content posted by you. The harder you work to promote your own videos and photos, the more money you'll earn.

    Another way to make money is to create your very own blog at www.blogger.com. Set up your own page and create captivating content to lure readers to your stuff. Then add the site's AdSense feature, which allows advertisements to be included on the page. Every time a viewer clicks through on the advertisement on your blog page, cha-ching! Keep in mind this only works if you're committed to creating a blog that others would find fascinating -- and you hustle to attract readers to build a following for yourself.

    Get Paid to Write or Edit-A handful of Web sites pay for articles, but unless they're commissioning your original work, you won't make big bucks. www.associatedcontent.com pays around $10 per approved/published piece. www.helium.com is another option that rewards prolific writers, and both sites are a good way to build an online portfolio of published work while making some money at the same time. Two other options for various assignments: www.myessays.com and www.writerfind.com.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Another option is freelance writing for magazines, trade publications, newsletters or local newspapers. If you've developed a specialty or have a particular interest in a single topic -- film, fashion, food, travel -- many Web sites and small publications work only with freelancers and regularly look for writers to do reviews on products or new releases, ranging in topic from electronics to beauty.

    Contact the editors of the publications you'd like to work for. (Their names and contact information can typically be found on the masthead or Web site.) Ask for their writers guidelines and be ready to submit samples of your work. (This is also where links to your work from the two sites listed above can come in handy.) I hire freelance writers for my company's magazine, which is published three times a year. All of them have come to me unsolicited with their writing samples and story suggestions.

    Compensation varies based on your experience. Novices might have to accept free products or press passes for their work. Experienced writers can expect to make anywhere from fifty cents to $2 per word. For multiple articles, you might settle on a flat rate.

    Experienced editors can apply for projects on sites such as www.cyberedit.com and www.editfast.com.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Transcribe Audio to Text-Speeches, lectures, television and radio programs, and interviews must be converted to text that's delivered timely and accurate. If you possess exceptional English language and grammar skills and you're an experienced typist with a speed of at least 75 wpm, you could transcribe audio to text. Some businesses may require you to take a transcription test before offering you opportunities to work. Most assignments are handled on a freelance basis. Sites to explore include www.productiontranscripts.com, www.moderndayscribe.com, www.tigerfish.com, and www.alicedarling.com. Find others by searching online.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Direct Sales-It's not just Avon, Mary Kay and Tupperware anymore. There are thousands of exciting opportunities to make extra money through in-person and online direct sales. More than 14 million people now work as independent contractors doing just that.

    Select a company that best mirrors your own passion and interest, since there's a greater likelihood that you'll be able to sell products to which you can relate. Are you into health and alternative medicine? Sign on with www.tiensna.com. Like fine wine? Consider becoming a rep for www.thetravelingvineyard.com. Is high-end clothing your soft spot? Check out the www.carlislecollection.com. Want to sell toys to parents in your kid's play group? Perhaps www.discoverytoysinc.com is ideal for you. The Direct Selling Association (www.dsa.org) offers links to businesses and advice on how to succeed in direct sales.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Translator-If you are a native speaker of a foreign language, then becoming a freelance translator could be a great opportunity. Several companies need documentation translated for international partners and hire freelance translators through companies like www.welocalize.com, www.languagetranslation.com, www.accurapid.com, www.telelanguage.com, and www.sdl.com.

    Most companies require applicants to take a written test and sign a non-disclosure agreement. Precision and accuracy is a must. Companies who hire freelance translators prefer candidates who are native speakers of the target language, have experience with professional documents, software, or multimedia translations, and are members of a professional translation association. The most in-demand services include translation from English to Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Italian.

    This is another business you can start on your own if you have the skills and are able to network effectively to land a client. A major corporate client can keep you busy full-time and smaller businesses would likely offer project work here and there.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Become a Virtual Assistant-Often times small business owners and mid- to executive-level professionals need personal assistants but cannot afford to hire one on a full-time basis, or simply don't have the space in their offices. Therefore, they hire people from remote locations to do their administrative work for them.

    Virtual assistants can handle bookkeeping, administrative duties, travel arrangements, transcription and correspondence, and other support services that can be done remotely via e-mail and phone.

    A search on Google using keywords "virtual assistant" will generate results of many independent contractors. Some will outsource a share of their workload. Check out www.virtualassistantjobs.com and www.teamdoubleclick.com. The Intertional Virtual Assistants Association (www.ivaa.org) is a valuable resource.

    Real estate assistant is a good job for one working from home.

    You should also consider starting a similar business on your own. Be your own boss, set your own hours, and acquire clients through self-promotion and marketing. Networking and referrals are your best bets for landing clients. Create an e-mail about your services and send it to everyone you know -- and ask them to forward it along to everyone they know.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Become a Virtual Publicist-Technology has made it possible for thousands of virtual public relations firms to exist nationwide, all of which are eager to identify experienced communications and marketing professionals who are diligent in their work habits but also crave the flexibility of a home base.

    Among them: www.bisbeeandco.com, www.partnercentric.com, www.orcacommunications.com, www.perkettpr.com, www.kellylodestro.com, and www.wasabipublicity.com, just to name a few. If you're a seasoned PR pro, contact them with your capabilities and availability.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Start your own virtual PR firm. If you're experienced in promotions, event planning, writing, pitching, media contact management, crisis communications or strategic planning, there's a good chance your services are in demand.

    Without expensive office overhead, you can offer competitive prices while making a hefty profit. Create a Web site that promotes your abilities, and start spreading the word. Since you're in PR, you no doubt know how to toot your own horn.

    Guide Users Online with your Expertise- Use your subject-area expertise to make money assisting others who are in need of that knowledge.

    Chacha.com is a brand new search engine that is similar to Yahoo or Google, however users have the ability to request the free help of a live guide. That live guide is sitting at home making money while he or she assists with the online search. Learn how you can make $5 to $10 an hour, which can be paid to you via debit card or direct deposit, at www.chacha.com.

    About.com offers qualified applicants the opportunity to become guides if they have proven expertise in a topic area. As a guide, you're responsible for publishing a full-length article every 14 days and you must update your blog at least three times per week. Anyone can apply, but you must pass a 17 day-long self-guided online training program to familiarize yourself with About's tools and demonstrate your knowledge of the process.

    Successful guides never make less than $500 per month, according to About.com, and some guides can earn upwards of $100,000 a year for popular, high-trafficked sections. Visit the getting started guide on www.about.com for details.

    On www.justanswer.com users agree to pay for experts to answer their questions. If you have an expertise -- from gardening to genealogy -- you can agree to answer questions for a price. The site then pays you based on accepted answers. Kasamba.com allows you to register your expertise and dictate how much you want to get paid for sharing it.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Virtual customer-service agent Another growing work-from-home opportunity is to answer the inbound customer calls for companies like J Crew, 1-800 Flowers, Virgin Atlanta, or Walgreens. These major players and many others like them outsource their customer-service calls to companies that hire U.S.-based virtual agents. Set your own hours and pick an account that's ideally suited to your knowledge and interests.

    In addition to having a pleasant voice and strong customer-service skills, you must have high-speed Internet access, a computer, a landline, and a quiet place to work -- all of which you pay for on your own.

    Expect to make an average of $8 and $15 an hour depending on your experience, call volume and accounts. Be prepared to work a minimum of 20 hours per week, although some agents work 40 hours to 60 hours when their schedule permits.

    THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THESE FOUR REQUIREMENTS:


    1. a computer,
    2. high speed Internet access,
    3. a land-line telephone to handle incoming calls,
    4. a quiet work space are necessities.

    Applications can be filled out online:
    Alpine Access www.alpineaccess.com
    VIPDesk www.vipdesk.com (What one woman has to say about VIPDesk Dr. Laura
    Willow CSN www.willowcsn.com
    West at Home http://www.workathomeagent.com
    http://www.workingsol.com/home.htm
    http://www.liveops.com/become_agent.html
    www.workingsol.com, www.workathomeagent.com, [url] www.accoladesupport.com, www.customloyal.com, www.grindstone.com, www.sciathome.com, www.repsforrent.com, www.overflowusa.com and others hire year-round, and they're all eager for great talent now as they prepare for a very busy holiday season. Each company has different needs, hours, clients, etc so be sure to check with a few of them to determine the best match for you.

    Alpine Access is the only major virtual call center that hires home-based agents as employees. Willow CSN and VIPDesk, for example, require agents to incorporate as independent contractors. The main difference is that contractors must handle all their own taxes. Tens of thousands of agents do this with ease — it's like running your own home-based business, which makes that entrepreneurial sensibility even more important.



    Several of the companies will allow you to decide the types of clients you'd like to service. If you love flowers, maybe you'll be assigned to handle calls for a national florist. If money matters are your cup of tea, then a financial institution could be your client.

    __________________________________________________ ______________

    Expect to be tested in typing, writing, language and computer skills. And some companies also require drug testing and background checks.

    Avoid companies that require people to pay money upfront to work.

    Some companies pay based on the number of calls you take — so you're only paid while you're on the phone. Others pay by hour, from clock-in to clock-out, so be sure you ask about how you're paid before committing to one company over another.



    Training is Often Unpaid-You're trained specifically for the company you're handling calls for, so you'll know their products and policies inside and out, and you'll learn their technology too.

    In some cases, the training period is considered an investment on your part, meaning you usually do not get paid for it. For the employer, it helps ensure that you're really motivated to make money in this fashion.


    __________________________________________________ ______________
    Online tutor -
    If you graduated from a college or university in this country or in Canada, or you're a current student at an accredited school, and you have expertise in English, math, science or social studies, you could make money as an online tutor. You must be able to convey key information to students of all ages -- generally fourth grade through college level -- in an online environment. That means teaching mathematical formulas and chemistry equations to a kid through cyberspace, rather than face-to-face instruction.

    Visit www.tutor.com to learn how you can make $10 an hour or more working five hours to 30 hours a week from home. Also explore www.esylvan.com, www.brainfuse.com, www.kidspan.com, www.universalclass.com, among others. To find other online-tutoring opportunities, or to learn how to start your own online-tutoring business, do a Google search using the keywords "online tutor" and research dozens of options based on your availability and subject-area expertise.

    Create your own product line -Ever dream of seeing your slogans and artwork on T-shirts, mugs or hats? You can turn that dream into reality -- and into cash -- without investing even a penny in expensive startup costs like equipment and stock.

    Submit your original ideas and art online to Web sites like www.zazzle.com, www.cafepress.com and others, and you'll receive commission on all sales generated with your designs. Do this for T-shirts, mugs, kids' accessories, housewares, posters, stickers, and so much more. In addition to securing orders from strangers who visit those sites, you can also make money by doing some proactive promotion of your own. Encourage your friends and family to place orders, and get them to e-mail all of their friends, too, by forwarding links to your products.

    Holiday Helper-Professionals who work in traditional positions are often too busy to plan properly for the holidays. They dream of an elf appearing to save the season. You can make money as that elf -- the person who does the shopping, wrapping and shipping of gifts, especially when your client loathes crowded malls and surly clerks. You can also pitch yourself as the kitchen queen who assists with cooking and cleaning for holiday guests. Photograph parties and prepare scrapbooks to preserve holiday memories. Address envelopes with fancy calligraphy to get your client's cards out before the New Year is here. Collect mail, water the plants and feed the pets for vacationing families.

    Create inexpensive business cards or flyers on your home computer touting your holiday services. Distribute them to neighbors, schools, churches and any place where busy professionals are likely to be. Expect to charge $10 to $20 an hour depending on your location and the nature of the work you're doing.

    Turn those seasonal clients into year-round customers by catering to their every day needs. You can get paid to walk a dog, garden, shop for groceries, wait for the cable guy to show up, fetch dry cleaning, or set up electronics for busy professionals or people who have challenges leaving home. Offer one-time discounts to your clients if they assist you with successful referrals by chatting up your services in their offices.

    And to learn to market your business: Entrepreneur’s Center

    Telemarketing Opportunities-Many companies and organizations outsource their cold-calling campaigns to third parties. Those third parties hire fulltime and temporary workers—many of whom work from home—to place those calls with specific goals in mind. You may be required to convince contacts to book an appointment, commit to making a donation, or agree to try a product or service. Your calls could also be focused on debt collection.

    Typically you’ll receive an hourly base pay, plus performance-based commission. While some training is provided, applicants are expected to have some high quality customer-service and/or cold-calling experience. Among the companies to explore: www.telereach.com, www.intrep.com, and www.west.com. You should also search online for home-based telemarketing positions on the big job boards and the major search engines. Do not pay for leads; you should be able to find employers that are hiring without paying a middleman for access to that information.

    Job Boards-The big job boards like HotJobs.com, CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com are filled with thousands of work-from-home opportunities. SimplyHired.com and Indeed.com grab positionsfrom a wide variety of sources. The key is to search all of these Web sites by using the words "virtual" or "home-based" when looking for opportunities advertised online.

    TheLadders.com, which focuses on positions paying in more than $100,000 annually and requires a monthly fee to join, features a wide range of senior-level positions from home in sales, technology, finance and marketing.

    Web sites such as elance.com, sologig.com, guru.com, craigslist.com, backpage.com, clicknwork.com, ether.com and ifreelance.com have thousands of part-time and consulting opportunities to respond. Some of them allow you to post a free profile about yourself and your skills and services.

    If you're bidding on freelance projects, be sure to research going rates before indicating what you're willing to work for. This is especially important for work outside of your geographic area. If you live in Ohio, the going rates for graphic design might be much less there than in New York. While the client is looking for a good deal, you don't want to underprice -- or overprice -- your services or you're likely to be knocked out of the running.

    As with any posting or advertisement, you must be diligent about doing your homework and using lots of common sense. Just because something is listed on an honorable website or in a reputable publication, doesn't mean the opportunity has been vetted for legitimacy. That means talking to a live person and not just relying on an e-mail exchange to learn in-depth about the requirements, challenges and potential earning power. Don't be fooled by postings that promise big bucks for minimal effort. If it were that easy, we'd all be working in those jobs

    Check out some of Dr. Laura's information for Stay At Home Mom's: Start making money at home:
    Dr. Laura

    and lots here:
    http://www.drlaura.com/sah/money.html

    There is information on there about soy candles. That is a great work from home business...so easy...so inexpensive and sell well! As you can see they are popular: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=...fp-t-501&x=wrt (If you want instructions so you don't have to go buy all of the expensive equipment they try to sell you--like I stupidly fell for buying and wasted my money on---simply DM me.)

    Verify Sales Calls for Accuracy-
    Ever change your long distance service or your cell phone plan? It's likely that you were asked to hold for a verification operator to come on the line to confirm your choices. There's a good chance that operator was working from home.

    To make money in this process, apply online at voicelog.com BSG - the Leader in Payments , a provider of third-party verification services. The company hires home-based independent contractors to serve as live operators to verify calls for telephone companies and other service industries focused on combating sales fraud.

    Carefully read the FAQ page on the career section of the site so you're familiar with the application, training and hiring process before applying.
    (I think there are several of them but you will need to google third-party verification services to see what companies do it and then first go to their website to make sure they do work from home. A few of them don't and they will not even respond to you if you e-mail so do your own checking on their website, to save time.)

    If you get creative and think of something on your own--instead of doing what everyone else is doing--chances are you will have a better chance of succeeding.

    Use the above for ideas but rework them to make them your own. Good luck.

    One thing it seems that people will always buy for no matter how tight things are--stuff for kids or for weddings. Think of something unique....not copied.

    If you are good at flower arranging why not start an "allergy free flower" business. More and more people are allergic to flowers and it is horrible for those who must attend events whre flowers are poplular (weddings, funerals, etc). Silks can be beautifully done and advertised the right way (as "allergy free") it could be very profitable. It would be easy to work on them at home and make them up days in advance. Some might even just want to "rent" them for their wedding or other event so they aren't stuck with a bunch of flowers later.... you could take them home afterwards andre-work them later for another event.

    Your welcome.

    Can't edit and was just doing some research on alpineaccess. Don't think it's worth the long application process. My friend got on at West-At-Home and likes it. She applied to alpineaccess back in Jan. and still hasn't been accepted and now they want her to redo her app. She said no way. So be sure to give the companies some time but don't bend over backwards for them. I also read that DirectTV is looking for support/employees in certain sounthern states like Texas. Worth checking out.

    Default just found this thread..

    I realize this thread is a little old, but I just came across it. Dolphin, is your friend still working at West at Home? How is that working out? how much money do they typically pay per hour? This might be good supplemental income for my retired parents.

    I'd like to update the information on freelance writing on Associated Content/the Yahoo! Contributor Network, as it is incorrect.

    I started writing science/nature/outdoor recreation articles there 2 weeks ago and as of this morning I've published 22 articles. I only wish I were paid $10 per article! If they determine your article is not the type of content they want to pay for (meaningless fluff makes money, not researched science), they can decline it. When I do get an offer on an article, the most is around $2.50. I've made only $17 in upfront payments so far. They also pay $1.50 per thousand clicks on your articles, which is about 1 cent per 6 clicks. In 2 weeks I've made $0.95 in page view revenue.

    It adds well over time, because you are paid for views for the life of your articles, which are archived indefinitely on the website. Some people who have been there for years are still getting paid for the time it took to write an article 5 years ago. It's good for building a residual income, but you have to be willing to put in the effort to build your base of well-written and researched articles.

    If you're just in it for the money it's not worth it, but if you want to develop your writing the flexibility is nice - you write what you want on your own schedule. It's a good base before moving on to bigger and better things or just for making a few extra dollars for gas.


    Hope that helps! Give it a try, it can't hurt, and it's fun!
