Writing more and enjoying it less? Did you know you can get paid to write?

Are you writing more and enjoying it less? I hope not. I have been discovering, day by day, that writing online is a freeing experience. It frees me to think out loud and share my thoughts with literally thousands of interested readers, like yourselves.

I have only occasionally written my own blogs for sta.rtup.biz. However, I find myself regularly responding excitedly to other people's blogs, especially because of the promise of winning money, $1,000. I have not yet won that prize, but I keep trying. In the process, I continue to make new friends. People love to read the comments of all those people who have read their words, who understand what they are thinking and feeling, and who either agree, disagree, or offer some additional insights.

In my writing practices, I have also written 88 articles to date for http://www.ezinearticles.com. What has been so exciting about writing these articles is that I am gradually building a reputation for myself as an expert in my niche: healing, love and relationships. I see the statistics daily of how many people have actually read each specific article, how many have clicked on my URL, how many articles received 5 stars, and some additional factors. It was exciting when the number of viewers exceeded 100, and then when it went over 1000, and then over 10,000. At this point, to me this is mind-bogglling, there are over 13,000 people who have read my articles.

Recently I realized that as a Diamond Member at sta.tup.biz, my blogs (one per month) can be read by over 40,000 readers who are members. The numbers are becoming astounding! The only thing left to do is to offer something of value and sit back and enjoy the responses.

In February, only a few months ago, I was invited to write for another site, http://www.examiner.com.
This is an article site with national and local specialists, called examiners, writing about their selected niche topics. I am officially the Miami Relationships Examiner, writing basically for online readers located in South Florida. This niche is good for my purpose of promoting my private counselng practice and my local seminars. There are also national examiners who write for a broader base of readers.

What is unique and special about examiner.com is that they have a payment schedule. You are no longer just writing blogs and articles for free. You have the capacity to get paid. Now, the fee schedule is quite low, but it is based upon the number of clicks onto the site of people reading your specific articles. My readership has been slowly building since I began in February, but then I wrote one article, just one article that hit a bullseye. Within just two days, the number of people who clicked on the site and read my articles was over 6,000. And, the potential is limitless.

If you would like to become an examiner yourself, writing about your own niche, go to http://www.examiner.com and please use Referral Code #3145.

Comment by Steve Orris on June 17, 2009 at 11:59am: I enjoy writing at times when I'm not distracted or interrupted. Which isn't often.

Comment by Wayne Woodworth on June 17, 2009 at 11:56am: I enjoy writing my blogs and content pages and seeing how many people visit them. It is a lot of fun.

Comment by Mark Schwartz on June 17, 2009 at 11:55am: I enjoy writing when I do not have to, much like cooking. Writing an article on something you have a passion about is easy, compared to writing "things" that are required, e.g. an autoresponder series.

Comment by Trinity Ann McLeod Clark on June 17, 2009 at 11:44am: Thank you for your information about the examiner, I will definately be looking into it. I just completed a marketing stratergy that I am looking for testers for. Maybe this information will help the tests I hope to complete and precede the book.

Comment by Laila on June 17, 2009 at 11:36am: I do enjoy writing, and there are a number of sites that will pay you to write, but most of my time is actually spent on one of my MOM sites...there is no pay, but I have over 400 friends who encourage me and comment on my writing.

I will check out some of your blogs! Thanks!
