I am active in various Facebook Groups and Google Plus communities which share blogging and writing tips and tricks, work at home advice, etc.
One question that pops up consistently is:
- What are the best sites to earn from your writing?
The question would be a lot easier to answer if everybody agreed on one uniform definition for “best”.
My idea of “best” might be another person's idea of “mediocre” because the particular sites that I think are terrific don't really suit the other person's criteria for making money consistently and achieving their financial goals.
So the “best” that I can do is say the best sites that have worked for me.

♦ Forum Coin, Postloop, and MyLot are social sites and/or forums that have paid me consistently. The easiest way to earn at these sites is to just be active. If you are active on social media and earn nothing; then you can be socially active at these sites and get paid for it.
♦ My HUBs or articles published at HUBPages generate income. As do my pages and posts at Wizzley, Writedge, and Daily Two Cents. The income is earned mainly via a Google Ad Sense revenue-share plan. Publish evergreen content at these sites and then let the content generate residual income, while you work on other writing and blogging projects.
♦ Medium is a site I use mainly to share republished content and redirect traffic to my primary income-earning websites. However, if you are a good writer you might be able to make good money if you sign up for their Medium Partner Program. I have not signed up as yet, but here is what someone else has said about their experience.
However, at this point, Medium and Listverse are on my To Do List. I need to work up the courage up to submit my work. The competition is overwhelming and I'm terrified of rejection. I just need to get over it!
Anyway! Don't let my fear hold you back! If you've got the confidence and the skills ... Go for it!
♦ Another potential income opportunity that I have yet to embrace is selling articles. I am at SEOClerks (a forum I joined via Postloop) where I see people selling their articles. I haven't tried it, but if they can make money from selling articles, why not me? This is an income-avenue to be explored in the future.
FINAL POINT:
♦ There are all kinds of writing opportunities out there and newsletters or blogs one can subscribe to for opportunities. I subscribe to Freedom With Writing. Check out this post: 38 Blogs that Pay Writers $50+ for Guest Posts.
