: Re: what is the best way to make money on the side as a beginning author? I am a new author and as I am writing my novels, I need a little revenue. Are there sites that would pay for articles

1) Try to find something that requires lots of time but little hands-on time, like house-sitting, pet-sitting, old-people-sitting, and infant-sitting. (But NOT child-sitting!) Or night watchman. The pay will be lousy (minimum wage or less), but you'll have lots of free time doing it, so you can do it a lot. You can work 12 hours a day at jobs like that, without giving up much writing time.

2) It is impossible to answer your question about sites that pay for articles, without knowing your other talents. Many magazine/e-zine articles would require the author to have some bona fides in fashion, science, technology, food/dining, crafting, travel, etc.

3) If you are good at science, there are companies that pay people to take journal submissions written in poor English and turn them into journal submissions written in good English.

4) NOBODY is going to pay an unknown freelancer to write an article for them. They MIGHT pay for an already-written article.
