Chapter 1: Exploring Alternative Writing Platforms
As a writer, sharing your thoughts on Medium can be fulfilling, but it often doesn't bring in the income we desire.
I am still dedicated to writing on this platform, having set a goal to produce 90 articles in 90 days, with about five weeks left. How about you? Are you interested in exploring platforms that offer better financial returns than Medium?
If that's the case, you've come to the right place! This article quickly outlines some excellent alternatives. Click on the site names to access their submission pages. Let's dive in!
Verbilio
Verbilio operates similarly to platforms like UpWork and Fiverr. The site states that it "helps you connect with businesses and agencies seeking your skills." Here’s what you can do:
- Find Work: With over 1,300 clients spanning 40 industries, opportunities are abundant.
- Job Variety: You can find jobs that range from 300 to 3,000 words across various content types.
Additionally, new writers can start with short-form projects to build their profiles. By successfully delivering content and earning positive reviews, you can gain access to longer, higher-paying assignments.
Pay Rates:
- Articles between 300 and 550 words: $10.50 to $19.25.
- Stories ranging from 1,000 to 1,400 words: $50.00 to $82.00.
WriterAccess
Similar to Verbilio, WriterAccess provides numerous freelance writing opportunities. To get started, you must upload your portfolio to their site. According to them, you can "get fast-tracked for approval."
The platform is broadening its talent pool and industries served, actively seeking writers with various skills. After you apply, they will review your work and invite the most qualified freelancers to continue through the selection process.
Pay Rates: $0.11 to $2.00 per word.
Funds for Writers
Funds for Writers offers a newsletter aimed at individuals looking to monetize their writing. Keep in mind that all submissions must focus exclusively on this topic.
Submission Guidelines:
Articles should be between 550 and 650 words. The newsletter features only one article per issue—concise and to the point. Be sure to explain, "Why are YOU the ideal writer for this piece?"
Compensation: $75 for original articles and $25 for reprints.
