There are two types of platforms which pay for your submissions as a freelance writer: websites that pay a fixed price per article and revenue-sharing services that pay a variable amount of money, depending on the number of views you get, as well as the clicks on the ads featured in your post. Both types of services offer great opportunities. The important thing is not to get all over the place. You need to explore the freelance writing market first and see which website would be most suitable choice for your writing style. The following list of 15 well-paying services will help you with that.
