Question Hi there! I'm just wondering if you know of any LEGIT sites that pay people to write articles or blogs (sort of like About.com). I don't have any sort of degree or previous experience writing professionally, so I'd need a site that is willing to hire based on writing examples or knowledge of a certain subject. Thanks a bunch!
Answer Hi Emm,
There are a host of great writing job resources such as writersweekly.com and mediabistro.com that you should check out. As far as places like About.com, you can try www.Suite101.com, www.weblogsinc.com, www.selfhelpguides.com/authors_wanted.php3, www.fabjob.com/jobs.html, and www.associatedcontent.com/. I'm not sure how well any of these pay or the specific requirements, but they are frequently taking on new writers.
