Get paid to write!

We all have our own interests and hobbies.

And when it comes to writing, we don’t all want to write about the same thing.

That’s why I searched high and low to find sites that pay you for articles on different topics. So you literally can get paid to write about anything, even your life.

And to make it easier for you, I’ve categorized them all by the kind of topics and stories they like.

1) Transitions abroad– $150 per post

Transitions Abroad’s focus is on people who travel, regardless of the reason – work, education, retirement, volunteering, etc.

They pay around $150 for travel-related articles.

They especially like articles written based on your own personal experience.

Sites That Pay You to Write About General Interest

10) Vibrant Life – $100-$300 per post

Vibrant Life is a bimonthly magazine with a focus on healthy living – physically, mentally, and spiritually- with a “Christian perspective.”

One very interesting fact about this one is that they do accept already published articles under certain circumstances.

Their guidelines page states that they will look at articles already published elsewhere if:

…the writer has sold only one-time rights or has written permission to sell the article elsewhere without a reprint credit.

You can expect anywhere from 4100 to $300 per article.
