I’m professional writer myself so I know exactly how you should start.

1. Create a simple website for your article writing business.
Explain how much you charge per article and for how many words.
eg. $ 20 for a 500 word article

2. Use Paypal for online payment. Integrate it on your website. PayPal has details on how to do this.

3. On your website, explain why your service is different to justify that you charge more than others. For example, your articles are researched thoroughly for the client and you will do search engine optimization for them if they are to place the articles on a website.

4. Go to several websites such as
http://www.Elance.com
http://www.Scriptlance.com
http://www.FreelanceWriting.com

to register your service and have a detailed profile.

5. Start bidding for jobs and with every job you complete, ask for a testimonial from the customers and place it on your website.

6. While you are building a good reputation and feedback with these websites, you can promote your website by search engine optimization, blogging, forum posting, squidoo lens, press releases and distributing your own articles.

It will take about 3 months to build a good reputation and charge higher prices.

After that, hopefully the majority of your clients will come from referrals and finding your website with the search engines.

If you’re a newbie, I would charge $ 5 for a 500 word article to start with. This is very low, but you need the testimonials and get used to this business.

After that steadily increase your prices. I currently charge $ 36 for a 500 word article but it took me a while to get there.

Hope it helps.

They have a section dedicated to people looking for article writers,as well as a section dedicated to authors.

Check that out. It’s a free forum. It won’t cost you a dime to post or browse around!

Try http://payperpost.com/, this is exclusively for blogger s. If you have good writing skills and strong control on English, sure you can earn thousands.

They have a section on there where people/companies make requests for things they need done.. for example, if a company needs a jingle for a particular product.. they put in a request on this site, and then someone would do the work and get paid for it.

Also, there is a section where you can put things up for sale, whether it be a video or a photo.. and then people bid on it (similar to Craigslist).

I think that the “Request” section is a better fit for you. So if you complete these requests you get paid whatever the amount is. Pretty good deal, it’s a great way to make some extra cash.

Hope this is helpful..

1 eHow: Write How-to articles about anything your familiar with and get paid based on how helpful it is. You can write as many articles as you want to increase your income. The thing is though that no one knows the formula for what they base their pay from. It could be based on number of visitors, ratings, but most likely it’s the Google ads that are automatically placed in your article and how many people click on those ads. eHow is easy to set up so it’s a good site to begin with if your just starting out. Your articles are can be widely viewed in a matter of days and you can start making some money right away! To Sign up with eHow click on the link below (under resources).

2 Associated Content: is another great site that is on its way to becoming a major provider of user created content. you can get paid to publish any kind of content (blogs, websites, news, articles, etc) which is what sets it apart from eHow. Earn cash as people visit your articles, comment and click on Google ads associated on your pages. Signing up is easy and free but you will want to take a few moments to fill in your profile. This will add a touch of professionalism to your work! Follow the link below (under resources) to sign up!

3 Xomba: is also a great choice for writers looking to get paid publishing their articles. It is still in its infancy but its community is growing rapidly. Xomba is much like Associated Content in the fact that you can write about almost anything (blogs, articles, websites, etc) and get paid as members visit your articles. Your pay is based from how many visitors click on Google Ads in your article so make sure to create quality content that helpful to the community.

4. Create a Google Adsense account. This is how you will get paid from some of the sites above. It’s free and easy to do, you can start generating income immediately.

Good luck.
