Question
i'm interested in writing articles to be published over the net through which i could get paid.i do i go about it.

Answer
Hello Guy:

If you want to write (in English) and get paid for it, you must first ensure that you have the basics: good spelling, grammar and usage. You must be able to proofread your work and correct any errors (or get a native English speaker to do it for you). Your work should be as near perfect as you can make it before you submit it.

At this time there are only a few sites buying articles on the net. However, if your article is well-written and on a topic people want to read, it may find a place. The most popular articles seen to be about upcoming events, celebrities, etc. If you will go here http://google.com/trends you can find lists of the most popular keywords in various countries. It would also help greatly if you know something about marketing, as most of the money paid out to writers is for articles on this subject.
