Now, Let’s jump in the places that will pay YOU to write online!

Do you write? If you answered YES then you are in the RIGHT PLACE!

and here is another question for you…

So, why not get paid for your AMAZING writing!??

Recently, I researched a ton of companies that actually pay bloggers to write for their websites. Pretty AWESOME, right?  Writing for other companies online is a great side hustle that you can do to make extra income. Oh, and you will be doing something that you love- writing!  In this post, I share 20 places that pay bloggers to write from their companies to help get you started.

Let’s dive in. Shall We!

  1. Listverse:  Are you good at writing lists such as “10 Comic Book Heroes Who Could Theoretically Exist” or “10 Celebrities With Historically Important Parents”? If so, Listverse might be perfect for you. With this site, You write your list (10 items per list minimum & can be on any topic),  then you send it in and if approved they will publish it and send you $100 by PayPal. Pretty awesome, right! Check them out by clicking here.                                                                                                                                             
  2. Hubpages: Hubpages is a revenue share writing site. Revenue share writing sites are large collections of user-submitted articles about any topic. Revenue share sites don’t directly pay you for writing for them. Instead, you earn a little of the ads and affiliate links that appear on the articles you post. Check them out by clicking here.
  1. MoneyPantry: Do you have a unique or unusual way of saving money? If so, then submit a post to the Money Pantry. They are always looking for new cool articles on unusual ways to save money. Generally, they pay between $30 to $150 per post & pay via Paypal as soon as your post goes live. Check them out by clicking here.
  1. Cosmopolitan: If you have a memorable, crazy, hilarious, or touching college experience Cosmopolitan might be a great route for you.  If they publish your essay on Cosmopolitan.com, they will pay you $100 — and hit you up for future assignments. Sounds ROCKSTAR to me!  Check them out by clicking here.

  2. Definitely pinning this for future reference. I can always use some extra cash & love writing. Several of these I’ve never heard of before. Thank you so much for the ideas & suggestions!

  7. This is a great list! I’m a regular contributor on Her View From Home, and love writing for them! The support from all the other women writers is amazing 🙂

  9. And now all of these sites are in a “To-Do” bookmarks folder. The only one I knew from this was DealSpotr (well, I know ProBlogger had a job board, but I didn’t think of it when I was wondering what would be on this list!) I love doing paid blogging gigs because half the time it puts me out of my comfort zone just enough to be a challenge and help me grow as a writer and blogger.

    And you’re right, this is a great side hustle opportunity for extra income. Esp for people who love to write (I mean, as bloggers, don’t we all?)

    Thanks for coming up with this list!

  71. Very useful list!

    I’ve been considering affiliating with Grammarly at some point because I really DO like and use their product. The other sites seem worth looking into, too.

    Thanks for this. 🙂

    This is s great list, what’s more important is that it’s still relevant. I’ve come across so many of these and they are filled with outdated information. Thank you!
