I’ve gotten a lot of feedback since writing that post – as well as
requests for more categories. Most of the blogs featured in the last
edition were in the design category, so I have decided to compile a new
list containing 45+ entirely new websites and magazines that will pay
you to write for them.
Payment ranges from $40 – $1,000+ and I also indicate whether payment
details were confirmed on the website. Most of the sites featured will
pay you upon publication or acceptance of your article. There are websites in new categories including health, tech, freelance writing, blogging, pet, travel, business, finance, music etc.
I’ve also compiled a spreadsheet and a PDF version of all the sites
included on this list. This is to make it easy for you to have access to
the list at any time you want and on any computer without having to
visit this page again. There’s a little commitment you have to make to
get it though, but you don’t have to worry as it’s something anyone
reading this list can do. I explain more about how you can get the files
at the end of this article. Enjoy!
