Writing Jobs for Teens - Freelance Writing

Assuming that most of you are still in school, how would it feel to get paid for all those essays your english/language arts teacher makes you write? You can become a freelance writer and work online typing up articles anywhere from 250 words to a 1000 words or more. Do you blog? You can become a paid blogger, get paid for every post published on somebody's website.
Start by signing up to TextBroker.com, when you sign up they will make you write a quick article so that they can rate your writing skills. They rate by 2 stars, 3 stars, 4 stars, and 5 stars.. here's how they pay you..

Sounds good?
Because that's just the start, sign up to DigitalPoint forums and start selling articles to web owners. You can make $7 an hour easily by using textbroker and selling your articles on digitalpoint and other forums, just google freelance writing and start looking for freelance writer jobs.

Most jobs for teens online will require basic writing skills, you don't have to be great at writing to make money from it.
If you want to have a steady income with little work, consider making your own website and/or starting a blog. I seriously recommend you do this on the side though, because it takes time and hard work to start making good money. You will need to sign up with Google Adsense so you can place relevant ads on your website or blog, and when people click the ads you get paid. Sounds easy, but it requires that your blog has a good amount of daily traffic.

If you do take this route and become a freelance writer, then you should keep writing articles for people and sign up to blogger.com to make a blog and put google ads on it. Look on craigslist for local jobs, and look on digitalpoint forums, sometimes people are hiring bloggers, use your blog as a resume for your writing ability.

It takes hard work, dedication, and a lot of patience for teens to make money online, but it can happen, and you may never need a job offline for the rest of your life!
