If you have come
to this blog it is because you would like to turn your passion for writing into
your way of earning money, and the good news is that it is possible, in fact
many people already do it.
In this article I am
going to talk about 6 websites where you can earn money writing. These websites
are the best known and popular by both publishers and businesses. The operation
is very similar in all of them, but the commissions that are applied can vary
and therefore your profits too.
1. Publisuites
Publisuites is a page
originally focused on the sale of sponsored articles: you only have to register
your website or blog writing, decide the price and
the topics of the sponsored articles that you accept, and the clients
interested in contracting a sponsored article on your blog will send you an
application on the platform.
In addition, now you
can also sell mentions on your social networks and offer your copywriting
services to companies that wish to hire you. They pay every Monday through
PayPal and do not withhold commission, but the advertiser pays it.
2. I'mFreelancer.com
SoyFreelancer.com is a
freelance work platform aimed at the Latin American market, which offers a good
alternative to look for freelance jobs after the controversial takeover of
Nubelo by Freelancer.com.
Registration at
SoyFreelancer.com is free for all users. When you sign up, you start with a
Scout account that allows you to create your portfolio online, as well as
upload a resume. You can see all the projects published by potential clients
and bid on one project per day. In addition, there are two types of paid
accounts, called Pro and Elite, which allow you to apply to several projects
per day, in addition to improving the ranking of your profile and obtaining
other benefits. You can also get a Pro account for free by inviting three
friends to sign up on the platform.
The payment of the
services is made through the escrow system: the client deposits the money in
SoyFreelancer.com and the platform pays you when you have delivered the work
and the client has accepted it. SoyFreelancer.com discounts a 14% commission on
the total budget of the project and payments are made by bank transfer.
3. We Are Content
We Are Content is a
content marketing platform born in 2016. In addition to texts, they offer other
types of content such as videos, images, animations, audios, etc. You can
register to work as a writer or as a provider of multimedia content.
In the registration
process, they ask you to prove your experience as a writer and the media in
which you have published. If you are accepted, there are three levels that
allow access to client work.
To qualify for a job, you
must send a proposal equivalent to 30% of the text and the client chooses among
the 5 proposals submitted. Only the chosen editor will charge for the work,
payments are made through PayPal or transfer.
4. Influence
Influent is a
sponsored posts platform where you can buy and sell sponsored articles on a
wide network of Spanish-language sites around the world. If you have a blog
with a certain volume of traffic and/or specialized in a niche, you can earn
money by writing sponsored posts for advertisers interested in reaching your
readers or doing link building.
Influence has some
distinctive features compared to other sponsored articles pages: you can buy
and sell posts from the same account, specify whether sponsored articles will
be published permanently on your site or not, whether they will appear on the
front page, or agree to a pre-publication review … You just have to register
your site for free, set the price of your sponsored articles and start
receiving proposals from interested advertisers. They pay after 7 days by bank
transfer or PayPal and you must have accumulated ten euros to be able to
withdraw the money.
5.Fiverr
Surely you already
know this website, or don't you? In any case, I am going to tell you how you
can earn money writing on this North American freelance work page, but in which
freelance content in Spanish is increasingly having a greater presence.
You can publish your
service announcement or "gig" from a basic price of 5 dollars. The
category you are interested in is “Writing and Translation”.
For each successful
sale of your service, you will receive 80% of the price you stated. In other
words, Fiverr applies a 20% commission to you.
There's a tier system
where you'll move up the ranks as you accumulate completed orders, customer
reviews, and earnings.
You can withdraw your
earnings through your PayPal account, Fiverr money card, bank transfer or
direct deposit (the latter only in the United States).
6. Freelancer.com
Freelancer.com is
currently the largest freelance work platform in the world, arising from the
absorption of multiple platforms such as Nubelo or ProjectLink.
In its Spanish
version, Freelancer.es allows you to create a free profile to be eligible for
the offers that are published on the platform. It is one of the freelance job
sites where more assignments are offered, but also where there is more
competition. This reduces your chances of getting the job or forces you to bid
low to win the lowest rate (not always a good idea).
Membership of the
platform is free, but if you do not have one of the payment plans you can only
apply for a small number of jobs each day, always behind premium members, who
have preference when submitting their proposals.
It is also a controversial platform regarding the treatment of freelancers. Although it works with the escrow system (the client deposits the money in advance and the platform releases the payment when it accepts the work delivered), there are many conflicts with clients who do not pay and for whom the platform agrees with the freelancers. It's a place to be in, but don't expect it to become your best source of freelance clients.
