Thanks for the info. I am a registered member of Constant content but have not really made anything out of it.

How much have you made personally? What are the simple steps to becoming a paid online writer?

Hello Shinystar,
You said you are a member of constant content and you have not made money from it. Why? Have you submitted any articles, tutorial, blog entries to mention a few? If your articles are approved, you are on your way to making money from it.
You fix your own price and depending on the quality of your articles, interested buyers should be able to buy and you make money.
There are no hard steps to becoming a paid online writer. What you need is to go to the sites you are interested in and register. Once you have registered, you can start writing on the areas you have knowledge on. Remember, there is a difference between writing for the web and writing for the print. You have to know SEO.

What is SEO?

that site requests for a paypal acct,hw do i get one?

Which of the sites are you talking of? Please, I will like you to tell me the site. There are many ways to receive your payment. whatever money you made will first be credited into your account. It is from your account that withdrwal can be made. Paypal is one of the payment methods. If you want to have a Paypal account, you will need to have a US address and phone number which you will use to sign up for the account. Currently, Paypal don't accept Nigerians. However, there is a way to open it from Nigeria without having a US address. I will want you to list the sites that request for Paypal account so that I can see what I can do.
Be using the ones that don't need Paypal for now.

What is SEO?

shinystar,
SEO is Search Engine Optimization. It is a web strategy for getting search engine ranking and placement. You know anytime you do a search on Google you normally type a word or words into the search box. The websites that are related to what you type will be displayed according to their relevance to the words you type.
You will find that there are some sites on the first page, to get to this first page involve a lot of strategies which I can't discuss here. It is a big internet marketing course on its own.
So, writing for the purpose of making money, you will need to learn something about SEO. The articles people are buying are for making money.It is for them to have content that will be displayed on their websites. This is for the purpose of getting traffic to the site.
If you have not joined the forum at constant-content.com please do.You will get some good materials there. If you are not satisfied you can let me know. Thanks Shinystar.

Good work, GDP. I'm sure lots of new members of Lit-NL (and visitors) appreciate this thread. Keep it up, amigos.

Kay9, thanks for the compliment! It is my aim to show as many writers that are willing, most of the websites that will pay them for their writing skills. Am embarking on a project right now where I will be telling people who can write how they can make money writing on the things they already know. I will need 20 people from Nairaland who will experience it first hand and tell others.
It is going to be very rewarding.Once I get 20 people,I will not take more as these are the only people I can effectively handle at the moment due to the nature of my business and time.
Any interested writer can indicate interest now as those who show interest before the launch date will get 50% discount.You will be greatly rewarded for your participation.

Hello Great Writers,
The sites that I posted here are very good for earning residual incomes by any one with good writing skills. However, if anyone is finding these sites difficult, he/she should let me know. This will make me to post other sites that are not that difficult to use. Thanks for taking time to view this post.

Any problem you encounter from any of those sites posted here, please let me know.

Dear GDP,

Hello Abanna,
You can open Paypal account from Nigeria even though Nigeria is not part of their catchment area. If you don't have a Paypal account, don't worry you will soon have one. What I don't want you to get worried about is that there are many of such sites where you write and you get paid.
Opening a Paypal account here in Nigeria will cost you money. You will need to have a US address and Phone number and these will cost you money. Don't worry I will post another site where you don't have to go through this stress.However, you still need Paypal account since you are now starting an internet venture.
I have a manual that takes you through the set-up process step-by-step. In the manual you will discover how you can open an account here in Nigeria that will enable you to request for credit card that you can use to shop online.You also get paid by telling your friends.I sell this manual for N3,500 but you can get it for N1,500 based on the friendship of this forum.
If you don't need it, don't worry I will post another site on Monday that will not require you to open a Paypal account for participation. Your email is not correct. Retype it very well so I can send you some exciting information.

Hello Redfox,
I got your sms and am glad you are still in your service year. I finished mine last year and I have designed a program for corpers.I will relaunch it next year before the orientation of March.You can send me your email to keep you inform when it is launched. Send me your email to get training materials. I sell the training materials and they are a little bit on the high side.If you send me your email address, I will tell you the cost but you can always bargain. If you don't want to spend money, don't worry, on Monday I will post a site that don't require you to pass through this stress you are facing at constant-content. You may need the manual I said I will sell for N1,500 to Abanna.Don,t forget to send me your email. Thanks.

Hello Shinystar,
I will be revealing all the strategies of making money from writing online and all the materials you need to get started as soon as possible. This will be in a closed door arena where only those that pay will benefit from the information.The program will start as soon as possible. I hope what you left town for was successful? Don't fail to check here on Monday for the site I want to post where you can write anything and make money.Watch out for the details on Monday.Thanks.

Hello Great Writers,
I have received sms asking me how to open a Paypal account from Nigeria.If you will like to know how to do this, leave your email address here.This will enable me to send you the details.One thing you have to bear in mind is that it is quite costly to open a Paypal account. You will need a US address and Phone number to do this.Getting a US address and phone number will cost you money.If that is the case,you can order for my manual that takes you through all the details of opening an account that will enable you to get credit card for your online shopping.From the manual also, you will get a step-by-step guide on how to get a US address and Phone number which you can use to open a Paypal account. The manual is N3,500 but am selling it here for N1,500.It is good you have this manual but if you don't want it, just be coming here often as I will post other sites that will not need you to open a Paypal account.Soon I will stop selling the manual for N1,500 as some of my colleagues are saying am foolish for giving it out for that amount.I don't care as long as what am doing is for the good of all. I want you to know that in the manual you will also discover how to make money telling your friends about using the credit card for online shopping. You make money also and you get your US address and phone number which you can use to open a Paypal account. Leave your email here for more details.Thanks to all those that have shown great interest in this thread. You have motivated me to compile all the money making sites where you get paid to write.We will all get there!

I told you that I will make a post on a website that will not allow you to go through the process of opening an account with Paypal before you can benefit from your writing skills.I could not make the post as scheduled because I was not feeling very fine. Now, am feeling fine.This website will allow you to share the advertisement revenue generated from your write ups with them.The name of the site is Xomba.com.

Follow the 3-step process to set up your blog.If you have opened an email address with yahoo before, this will not be a problem. Write at least three articles and post them in your newly created website. Google staff will come to review it and if nothing is written on the site you will not get approval.

Hmmmmm____:-( I smell a rat.

Omoovie, what kind of rat did you smell? Have you not heard of ad sharing sites and Google Adsense? A lot of people don't know and this is an easy way of making money online especially if one is a writer. I thought this will open the eyes of many writers to the opportunity that is present in ad sharing websites and Google Adsense. It is a straight forward program.

I will like to encourage those of you that want to pursue the money making opportunity in this post that you should not give up. Though this post is not a get rich quick, you can actually make money consistently once you are consistent with the program. If you are constant, you should start seeing good money in your Google Adsense account. Need assistance? Let me know. Goodluck.

Okay. Read the post well.After that, register in any of the sites that appeals to you. I will be around to guide. Thanks.

The other time most of you were concerned about how to open a Paypal account. Even though Nigeria is not among the list of countries that can actually use Paypal, there are ways to go about it legitimately here in Nigeria. You have to be very careful when using Paypal account. Your account can be blocked at any time without any warning. Make sure you maintain the same IP you used when opening the account. If inconsistent IP is noticed you account could be blocked on the pretence that it is a security breach. This was the case of an Indian friend of mine in one of the forums I belong. So, here is a way you can use for not only Paypal but for all your credit cards need. Even if you want a US address and Phone number, you get it all in one place. The first is  perhaps the biggest in the whole of Africa. It is what most people are using. Let me just list them. There are two which I trust and they are listed below. Click on them to go directly to the sites and register for FREE.You will get all the details in your account section once you register.

1) Graphcard. This is the biggest and it has all the facilities for US address and every other facilities I mentioned above. Click Here To Register With Graphcard FREE.

2) Fastecash is my second best. It is very good and effective for getting the above mentioned facilities also. Moreover, you can make payment on any site that has a Fastecash account. You can use it to send sms for as low as N5 per sms. Click Here To Register For Fastecash Account FREE.

That is it for today. Go and register for these accounts and discover a whole new world of online shopping. Let me know what you feel about it after registration. Want to buy a car from abroad? These accounts can help you!
