Make Lists: Get Paid!

I am loving this new website I came across not long ago. It's called List My 5. The name says it all. You make a list of your top 5 things. It can be anything! It can be your top five favorite movies, your top five favorite animals, anything you wish to make a list about you can do. You then get paid a share of the ad revenue that is generated from your lists via paypal. This being said, you should try to make your lists interesting enough that others will want to read your list. Here are a couple of my lists so you can get an idea of what this site is like:

Top 5 Ways to Relax and Alleviate Stress

Top 5 Things to Do on a Snow Day

You can make them funny, you can make them serious, you can make them informative, you are free to make whatever kind of lists you want. It is actually fun to do. TIP: If you write articles on other websites, you can write a top 5 list around a specific topic and then link to your other article. This way, you may get traffic two ways!

I wish I had more time to dedicate to this website because I really enjoy making up random lists on here. You don't have to worry about editors critiquing your work here, you are free to do whatever you like.

Leave me a comment and let me know if you have had any luck with List My 5!

Follow Me This Way!

Since I don't update this blog on a daily basis, I wanted to remind my readers that you can also follow me via Twitter <----- click link. I use Twitter for a lot of different things. You can follow me if you would like to read some of the other articles I write for money, or to find out what else I'm up to. Send me a shout out and I will return the favor!

Facebook. My favorite place. Who is addicted to fb, too?? This is my fb page for this blog, go there and "like" me because my likes are really kinda sad right now, can ya help me out? Leave a comment and let me know that you came from here! I haven't done a lot to promote my fb page, so I'm assuming that's why I don't have a lot of likes yet (or am I just really that boring?).

Will be posting again soon!

Writer's Access

Here's another opportunity for the writers out there. Writeraccess.com is somewhat like Demand Studios where you can choose the articles that you would like to write. When you register with writer access, you have to submit a few articles that you have written in order to receive your writer level. The prospective articles will then be listed by level and you will be able to choose from any articles on your level or below, but not above your level.


I submitted a few articles that I have written for Demand Studios in the past. If you have read my blog or work for Demand, you know that some of the editors can be very picky and there are specific guidelines that you must follow in order to have your article approved for publication. With that said, writer access only gave me a level 3 for my writing. Not bad, but the 4s and 5s get paid significantly more for articles. The application process is a bit tedious, as you are expected to give a specific number of articles you have written and been paid for around a certain topic, which can prove to be very time consuming (plus honestly, I haven't kept track of how many articles I have written around one specific subject). 


I have not had much luck with this website for a few reasons. First of all, most of the articles are 4s or 5s, however even when they are level 3 articles they are typically snatched up pretty quickly. Also, article are not always available and the que is cleared out rather fast. They send out emails when there are articles available, however they send them out to all of the levels, so I've wasted a lot of time logging in to browse through the que only to have none in my level. The emails also seem to be sent out around 5am est, so by the time I open the email, the majority of the articles have already been taken. 


So, I basically have no way of increasing my writing level because I can't get any articles unless I am up and online at 5am (which I am not!). Even though I haven't had much luck with this website, I wanted to pass the word along in case anyone else wants to give it a try. If you have had an experience, good or bad, with writer access, feel free to leave a comment and tell me about it!

Sidetick: Getting Paid to be Social

I've recently run across Sidetick. It is a social network that pays. You earn points for doing various things such as responding to a blog, opening messages sent to you, or getting visitors to your page, that you can then trade in for cash. I have already earned around $5 from it and have only spent a few minutes a day on it. I have seen proof of payment from other people, so this is legit. Once you reach $25, you can request payout via paypal.  You can also earn points by getting new people to join under you, and then from people they get to join..etc.. Most of you know how the pyramid scheme works. If you use my link to join, we will automatically be friends, so if you decide to join, be sure to let me know you came from my blog! It makes me feel good to now that someone reads this! haha! Apart from earning potential, you can also use sidetick to promote  your blog or website, so that makes it even better!
