If you are interested in writing and making some extra money online there are plenty of sites that offer you the chance to do so. You can hone your craft, sharpen your debating skills, contribute to many different topics and get paid immediately or on a monthly basis. Here are two popular sites for publishing articles on the internet.
Suite101.com was first established in 1997 and it's a private company based in Vancouver, British Columbia and there is also an office in Berlin, Germany.
There are two types of writers for Suite101.com, contributing writers and feature writers. Before joining them you will have to send samples of your writing. Once you are approved they will welcome you as a contributing writer.
New writers must sign a contract agreeing to contribute ten articles every three months. There are many topics to choose from and you can write about whatever interests you. Writers can talk about business, education, cooking, travel, family issues, medicine/health and lots more. A group of editors will look at your work and suggest changes and improvements when necessary. You get paid too!
You can request to become a feature writer when you have a large number of articles focusing on one topic. Feature writers must write at least one article per week about their chosen topic and must also write a blog.
Suite101.com uses a revenue sharing method to pay its writers. Depending on where your article is ranked by the biggest search engines like Google, hundreds of readers can click on your article every week. Articles topics must be based on fact, not opinion. Therefore, no creative pieces are allowed.
All they ask is that you not copy your work on any other site for a twelve-month period and that you do not post any offensive or discriminatory material. Like many other sites of this nature plagiarism is definitely not acceptable and any person who copies another person's work will have their account deleted at once.
Helium.com is another similar website where writers can post articles free of charge. One major difference between this site and Suite101.com is that Helium accepts poetry and creative writing. The range of subjects is wide and contributors can offer their opinions on different subjects. There are contents for writers and you can compete for cash prizes.
Getting paid is similar to what you would see on Suite101.com. It's a revenue sharing program. Another aspect about writing for Helium is that your fellow writers rate your articles. If you consistently turn in high quality articles that are free of spelling and grammar mistakes they will get higher ratings and that means more views. Unlike Suite101.com there is no monthly requirement for article writing. You can write whenever you like and whatever you like as long as it isn't offensive or blatantly prejudicial.
Each site has its own forum and you can communicate with other writers for advice, suggestions and help. Editors do have the authority to flag your articles and take them offline if they feel your article is off topic or if your writing is of substandard quality.
These are two of the most well recognized freelance writing websites. The more you write the more money you'll make. If you like to write and want to publish something right away, check these two sites out.

Writing articles is a great way to help market on the Internet. It doesn’t take a lot of time and it’s completely free. If the proper keywords are targeted then the article will get a lot of views and this will result in traffic for the person doing the article marketing. There are many great places to submit an article on the Internet. Here are the 10 best article submission sites.
Before we get to the top 10 article submission sites, let’s take a quick look at how article writing works with Internet Marketing.
There are three main parts to writing and submitting any article online. The first part involves choosing the keywords you want to target and then researching the article. The next part involves actually writing the article. The third part is submitting the article along with a call to action.
So you want to decide on the keyword phrase you want to target for an article. This will dictate what the article will be about. Once you’re ready, then you need to write the article being sure to include the keyword phrase in the title, the introduction, the conclusion, and a couple times throughout the body of the article. Then when you’re done writing the article you will submit it to one or more article submission sites.
Here are the 10 best article submission sites:
EzineArticles
Article Dashboard
Go Articles
Articles Base
Article City
Article Mark
Article Alley
iSnare
Search Warp
Idea Marketers
Not all of these sites are the same (EzineArticles is the best).
Some of them are better than others, and all of them have their own set of rules that must be followed. So make sure you know the rules before submitting or you’ll waste a lot of time and energy submitting articles only to have to rewrite them because they got rejected by the site.
For example, some of these sites allow you to include links in the article while others don’t. Some of these sites will let you have affiliate links with your articles while other sites won’t. So again, make sure you know what is and isn’t allowed on each site.
When you write an article online for the purpose of article marketing then you’ll have to submit that article to one or more article submission sites. Above you have the 10 best article submission sites. Take advantage of all these sites and you will certainly have success with article marketing.
