Write for Pay Websites: Where to find them & much more

I was tooling around the web today and finally clicked on the website HeliumKnowledge.com. It often pops up in the Google ads on my site, InkwellEditorial.com. So, I finally got curious enough to find out what it was all about.

Well -- love it! It's what I'd term a "personal experience site." Users GET PAID to lend their opinion/expertise on a subject.

As I focus on writers, I went to this section and found a wealth of FIRST-HAND information on writing for pay sites, what freelancers should charge, the easiest way for a new writer to get published, etc.

A lot of the information and sites mentioned I was well familiar with -- I've been in the industry for almost 20 years -- however, I ran across a few sites that I'd never heard of before, eg, LookingforClues.com, blotitive.com, paidwriter.com.

I'm well aware that for freelancers, even one new paying source can be the difference between getting a job and continuing to earn a living at home. So, check out this site. A lot of the topics will be specific to the craft, however, there are many that give advice, offer feedback and tell of personal experiences on various topics related to the busines of freelancing.

In my opinion, this site is well worth a bookmark!

DISCLAIMER: As of today (6/30/06), I have no affiliation with this site. However, time permitting, I'm thinking of signing up as a contributor because I saw several conversation streams that I could contribute to seamlessly.
