Get Paid to Write About Topics You Like

I recently stumbled across an excellent resource and signed up straight away. A new service aimed at writers called Fortitude allows anyone to write on topics they like and get paid for it. It is an excellent idea, and for those of you who have yet to make money from writing, and easy place to start.


You simply write about any topic you like and put it up for review. The more votes you get, the greater the chance of the article making the first page. Any item making the first page will automatically get paid up to $100. Not a bad start for anyone. Fortitude is relatively new, so the chances of you making the front page are pretty high. 


Not only do you get paid to write, but the experience is invaluable for any serious writer. You can test out ideas for articles and potential books or features. If you make front page, you know your idea has some weight. Use it to your advantage. It is also a good way for others to see what your writing style is like. This aside, you are getting your name out there to others and making yourself known - a great marketing tool. 


There is a subscription charge of $1.99 a month, but you can easily recover this once you get paid for pieces that do well. As a writer, you should relish any opportunities you get to showcase your work. It also shows others how committed and serious you are about making it in the writing world.
