Get paid for blogging?

[Jake]

In general the great majority of people who try to make money on the internet fail, so many get the opportunity to try because the price of admission is low compared to starting a real world business, and the loses are relatively low. You for example might have to get 10,000 visitors to earn the min payout for the popular Google Adsense paid ad space system. Can't argue much with the fist answer, but for some that's the best chance they have.

If you are a competent writer and don;t care about fame, getting paid to write for others' blogs can be a more certain faster paying approach, there are broker's that pay on a quality scale, starting around $3 for a 500 word article, such as: constant-content.com, textbroker.com, thecontentauthority.com.

There are also freelance worker marketplaces where webmasters hire writers, including Elance.com, Odesk.com and the wild west of the lot Freelancer.com Elance alone paid out $200 Million last year, mainly for technical jobs, but writers got a fair amount, at 42%, creativity including? writers and designers was the biggest category.
