A Great Way To Make Money – Authority Sites
A great way to make money online is by subscribing to Authority Sites. There are many authority websites that are always looking for fresh content and ideas to expand their user base and maximize profits. For this reason, they need new people with new ideas who can do this job for them.
Although most of them have content research, curation, and editorial teams, no matter how experienced they are they cannot cover everything.
So, many such websites will pay you to write content for them. This helps them to capture new ideas and topics that otherwise would have never been discovered by their content teams.
This also provides a great opportunity for writers who want to earn quick cash writing articles without getting into the hassle of creating and marketing their own blog.

To boldly go where no man has gone before! That sure sounds like me. Except, I prefer Star-Wars to Star-Trek. Happy. Smart. Strong. Sometimes silly. Straight up class act. Compulsive risk-taker. Adventurer. Traveler. Recovering cake addict. Only Jack Daniels with coke, thank you. Living my dreams. Simple but significant. Anything but predictable. I see beauty in everything. And I truly believe that the best things come from living outside of your comfort zone. I practice what I post. I’d rather be hated for who I am than be loved for who I am not. Join me in my quest for excellence. Dare to dream big. Meanwhile, may the force be with you!

Hi Aparna,
Just when I thought you’ve exhausted all the money-making opportunities from homeworking, you pull out another one.
To be fair, I have heard of guest writing but I didn’t know exactly how to seek out the sites or how lucrative it can be.
Thanks again for raising my awareness.
Cheers

This is a great way to make money Aparna. I like the pay structure on each one. This is something I am interested in. Thank you for writing this informative article.

Authority Sites are a great way to cast aside your traditional job. I am glad u like it, Yvonne.

Writing for Authority Websites seems like it could be very lucrative for those who are really great writers and really love to write. I am curious to see if there are any authority sites that focus on health and more specifically gut health! I’ll have to go and check it out!
Thanks for this!
Anna

Gut health is quite a specific niche. I am sure there won’t be many authority sites on that Anna. You have a great opportunity ahead of you.

I’ve tried freelance writing in the past, but mostly for content mills which pay very little. I’ve often thought about writing for authority sites and I’ve bookmarked this page. I feel more confident in my writing these days and will check out a few authority sites in my niche that use writers. Kathy
Aps
That’s nice Kathy. UpWork is another great site.

Great article, Ron! I couldn’t agree more that writing articles for authority sites is a great way to make money online. I, alongside my full-time job and online business/website, write articles for a website dealing with disability/accessibility issues in the United States. I usually receive an assignment every couple of weeks or so, and the rate of pay is $100/hr. I love being able to share my expertise, help people, and make money in the process. It’s a win-win for everyone! I have bookmarked your website and will definitely be back! God bless you!

People with authority sites make so much money, it’s not even funny. In fact, Authority Hacker teaches you exactly how to build such authority sites.

I like writing but being a non-native speaker, I still feel my writing needs to be improved. My grammar and spelling are good (being a teacher) but I can’t write like a novel writer. I might use this opportunity in the future when I have more experience with articles for my websites.
Thank you for sharing, I will definitely keep it in mind.
Aps
You are welcome Lenka

Seems like there is some serious money to be made via writing articles of the authority sites. I never knew this even existed! You are bringing out amazing opportunities for us to be financially independent and make money online using the skills we have and mastered.
Susan
This is great information! Really appreciate the list of sites you have given where we might find paid work for writing articles. I´ve already taken a look at a couple of the travel authority sites you mention and it´s all very interesting. Could you advise one or two more for the animal niche? Many thanks for your post.
Aps
I will have to check out animal niches. If I come across something interesting, I shall definitely message u, Susan. I love your website.
Melissa Jiggetts
Wow, this is such a great list! This is information many of us are unaware of and this is very valuable especially in the times we are facing right now. Thank you for taking the time to put together this information for your readers!

Thanks Melissa

This is a very useful list of sites for making money writing articles. I’ve only ever made money from content mills with very low rates of pay, so this is a great find! As a fellow member of Wealthy Affiliate I can definitely recommend your suggestion to join:)
