Earn Money Writing Articles on the Internet

Most of us are here on Associated Content for two reasons. One is we enjoy writing and the other one is to earn money writing articles. To understand how this works and why someone would pay you to write an article, we  need to look at how the Internet works.


When you look for something on the Internet, you don't automatically and instinctively know what websites are going to have the information or product you're looking for. So you go to a search engine and type in a few keywords and do a search. But how does the search engine know which websites are more likely to have the information or product you're looking for? There are a lot of reasons why some websites are on the top of the search results, but one of these reasons is because the websites that come out on top are generally content rich. This means they have a lot of good articles or pages that pertain to what you're searching for.

The sites that come out on top get the most traffic, and as a general rule of thumb, also make the most money on advertisements or products they sell. There are so many companies and websites out there that are all trying to write content rich websites that a small handful of people can barely keep up with the competition in producing that content. The solution to this problem is to pay someone to write articles to build your website with content. Websites like Associated Content and Helium are willing to split the revenue they make through advertisement with people who are willing to write the rich content for the website. Therefore we as writers earn money writing articles.
