Most writers\u00a0like to get paid right away for their work. Unfortunately, without prior previous successful writing\u00a0or\u00a0publication experience it is difficult to find a person, publication or organization willing to pay them.<\/p>\n

\"Writing<\/a><\/p>\n

As a result of a lack of paid writing opportunities, many new writers seek alternative unpaid ways to get their name in print while they work toward part-time or full-time earnings.<\/p>\n

One means of accomplishing this is to do an Internet\u00a0search for websites that accept\u00a0articles on a variety of topics without compensation (e.g. www.ezinearticles.com<\/a> or www.selfgrowth.com<\/a>).\u00a0 The reason that someone would choose to go this route is name recognition. Since these sites have such a high visitor rate,\u00a0articles are placed further up\u00a0on Google search engine lists when people search for pieces on desired topics.\u00a0This method also helps get the writer’s name\u00a0higher on searches for the writer’s name.<\/p>\n

There also sites that are willing to pay small amounts for various types of articles. Do an Internet search for paid articles sites<\/em> to find these.<\/p>\n

A second alternative is to create a blog, such as this one, and build Internet search traffic through social media, presentations and other promotional strategies. Ultimately,\u00a0a blog can generate passive\u00a0or residual income when\u00a0Google\u00a0or other advertisement links are placed on it. Search the phrase search engine optimization or SEO<\/em> for more details on this strategy.<\/p>\n
