The easiest way to make money online is to write articles. You can take what you know, and turn it into money making products. It takes a lot of work and it takes a lot of time, but it can become an income worth talking about.
While it isn't easy to do this, it can be very profitable. But some people think it isn't worth it. Take Helium for example. I make an average of 10 cents an article per month. That means I make about $1.20 an article a year. This isn't much for my article. The hope is that Helium will be around a long time and I will make lots of these throughout the life of the site, but this isn't a gurantee. However, I will be brining in money for articles that are already written and some of them will make a fair amount of money in their lifetime. Additionally, I can take the same information, change it some and share it on several sites.
Writing Websites
Hubpages
One of my favorite writing sites. Here you can make 60% of the Google Adsense
impressions (more with promoting hubs that are other peoples and getting people
to sign up and work on Hubpages). Plus setting up the pages can be a lot of fun.
ehow
Here at ehow you earn through their revenue sharing. It isn't clear how it
comes, but you can get a lot of traffic and write on anything you want. I have
recently found out that this is site only pays US citizens.
Associated Content
Sadly this site only pays US citizens. However, here you can get an upfront
payment on some articles, but you can also get performance pay based on the
number of page impressions you receive during the month ($1.50 for every 1000
page impressions)

This hub will give you lots more information on writing and making money with
Associated Content and is perfect for those who are seeking additional
information on how to do this.
Helium
While this site makes a little less then some of the other sites, it is very
easy to write for because you add your article to the appropriate title. You can
find thousands of articles to add to and make some money.
Writing and Making Money with Helium
This is a hub with more information about writing and making money with Helium.
For those looking for additional how to information this is a good place to
check out.
Triond
This is a great site. They publish your works on various sites. You then make a
revenue share. You can even publish in multiple languages which makes it perfect
for international users.
SpeakAboutIt
Fairly new on the scene this site has done an amazing job of bringing in traffic
making it a great place for you to write and a great place to check out. Here
you can write anything you want, and make 50% of the Google Adsense impressions.
Xomba
While I am fairly new to this site, there are several who are earning lots of
money on this site. I haven't gotten that far yet, but writing here can be very
profitable with a 50% Google Adsense impression sharing program.
Tutorial Tub
Here you can write tutorials or how to articles. It doesn't have a lot of
organic traffic, but with a little promotion, you can make money with it. You
get 50% of the Google Adsense page impressions.
PrintNPost
This site has a lot of traffic, but it just doesn't feel as well put together. I
am fairly new and don't yet know the earning potential. However, you get 50% of
the Google Adsense page impressions, plus a ton of traffic.
Squidoo
This site is very fun to work with. However, you don't get much organic traffic
and must advertise your work to get traffic. Plus their revenue sharing is
complicated and it takes time to start earning. You can however, use it to
promote other sites.
Qassia
This is a great site, though I am fairly new here. However, you can write
content, get back links for your sites, and make 100% of the Google Adsense page
impressions. It is definitely worth it!
Writing Campus
This site is a new one for me, but so far I have enjoyed it and think that it
has great potential.
If you are thinking of working online as a small business. If you are willing to
work even when it isn't worth it. If you are willing to work hard. If you are
willing to share what you know and write a lot. Then you can make more then
$1000 a month! However, you do have to do all of those things, plus be willing
to give it a fair amount of time.
Update.
This is by far my best hub and I thank you all for making it possible. I am glad
that so many people have enjoyed this hub and have done a wonderful job leaving
great comments. I just thought I would add that as long as you keep at it these
methods and tips work for anyone with passible writing skills in English.
Earning online is one of my favorite things to write about, however it is my
least profitable. Take this hub for example. It has gotten thousands of views in
the past week, but the ads aren't usually ones people click on, therefore this
hub doesn't make as much as one with ads that intice people to click. You can
choose your topic according to what you think will make you more money, or do
what I do an enjoy getting all sorts of traffic and working hard to make it all
work.
Our Goals.
This hub specifically talks about making $1000 a month, which I think is a very
reasonable goal. My goals, however, are a little more then that. My goal is to
be making $4000 a month by 2011. That is a minimum of $48,000 a year, which
isn't too bad a goal. If you are interested in keep up to date on that goal then
stop by my blog-Make Money Online.
