Another option for writers is looking into freelance clearinghouses such as Elance.com, Guru.com and Freelancer.com. When clients need work done they post the job description at the clearinghouse site. Interested writers then place a bid. The client decides which bid to accept and the clearinghouse site acts as intermediary. No private information is given out. All payments go through the clearinghouse and then they transfer payment to the writer’s PayPal account.
Other places to find writing gigs are Triond.com, AssociatedContent.com, Craigslist and Ehow.com. These are not the only other sites. A search on your favorite search engine will yield many results to check out at your leisure.
Good writers are in demand. If you are just getting started, consider writing on a volunteer basis for sites such as Suite101.com, Examiner.com, About.com or Bella.com. This will give you exposure and get some good experience under your belt. All of these different sites have their own particular qualifications on what they require from a writer. Now that you know exactly how to make money writing online, take a look at the sites and get your writing career off the ground.

There are many other great idea home business out there. Looking forward to hearing about yours!
You’ve listed a ton of great suggestions for writers to make money online. As a professional writer, I’ve written for Textbroker and a host of other sites too. I’ve never tired Live Answers though.
Although Textbroker is great for easy cash and I like the guarantee payments for accepted articles, I’ve had the most success with bidding sites like Elance. Call it my competitive nature (or the fact that I’ve established myself there) but the fact that one can command (and receive) fair wages for fair work simply makes it worth the effort.
For freelancers starting out, they may find sites like Elance are the perfect way to get ones feet wet and get clients. If one decides to go that route, here’s a few tips to ensure success:
-Sign up for a monthly plan and list your qualifications clearly.
-Check sellers’ reputations before bidding
-Bid often with personalized bids
-Don’t lowball (unless it is your first project and you need the feedback, you should bid a little lower but not too low).
-Deliver more than is expected.
-Never give up.

Lately after interacting some of the industry experts, I developed a methodology to earn continuous stream of income. The mantra is to earn money thorugh multiple streams, this will cut down on the risks involved. Do check my site, where I have listed out all free and easy money making oppotunities, checkEarn Easy Online Money. Do feel free to comment about the methods, your feedback is important for me.
