Another Site Paying for Articles...

In yesterday's post I wrote about Helium Knowledge, a well-established site which is now offering writers opportunities to produce articles for a fixed fee rather than just a share of advertising revenue.

Well, I've now discovered another website offering a similar opportunity. Matrixmails is unlike Helium in that it is not primarily a writers site. Rather, it offers members the opportunity to earn a sideline income reading advertiser emails, signing up for offers, playing online games, and so on. However, it has just added "get paid to write" to its list of opportunities for members.

They are looking for articles on any subject from the categories listed on the site (currently online gaming and web hosting), and are paying $3 to $30 for each article, minimum 500 words. Unlike Helium Knowledge, they will accept any number of articles on the set topics as long as they meet their quality requirements. Articles have to include at least 2 or 3 keywords from a list provided.

At first, you can only submit one article per category. Once the article has been approved or rejected, you are then allowed to submit another article for the same category. Matrixmails say this limitation may be removed from "preferred writers" who have a minimum of three articles already approved. Once you become a preferred writer, you are allowed to submit up to 10 articles per category at the same time. Matrixmails say they are looking to work with writers who can provide quality articles in the long run.

As with the Helium Knowledge Marketplace, this is a brand new opportunity, and there are definite first-mover advantages for writers who sign up now. As mentioned above, apart from the article writing, you can also make money on Matrixmails from reading advertiser emails, signing up for free trials, and so on, if you wish.
