Quite often, when I’ve searched for information on a certain topic, I’ve found an answer on Suite 101. Last time I was there (on a topic completely unrelated to writing) I stopped for a while and took another look at their site… and discovered that it’s not a bad way to (a) get some writing credits and (b) earn an income.

If you want to earn money as a freelance writer, you can work full-time for sites like guru.com and elance.com – but the hardest part is starting out, when you have no writing credits. With a bit of perseverance and willingness to take a few low-paying jobs to start with, you can soon overcome this problem; but it certainly helps if you can point clients to previously published articles on a site like Suite 101.

Here’s a quote from the site, in response to the question: “How Much Money Will I Make?” 

“It’s difficult to provide static figures about how much revenue writers earn at Suite101; there are a number of variables that can affect your earnings. To give you an idea of the revenue range, some top writers earn over $1000/month. Other writers may earn $30/month but it depends on the popularity of your articles and their searchability online.  Suite101 provides tips, tricks and education tools for better search engine (SEO) results. Write well, write often – that’s the secret to success at Suite101.

Be professional, be patient and be productive; it can take time to generate the income levels you are expecting. Keep in mind, too, that if you were to write 100 articles for Suite101 and you never wrote an article for us again, you would continue to earn residual income from those articles.”
