Making Free Money at Home

This is what I've always dreamed of doing. Bored with the rat race of a nine-to-five job, missing my kids, I set out to find out how I could make free money at home.

I stumbled upon lots of sites; all touting something, but there was just one problem. I didn't want to have to pay anything out to begin with. I just wanted to make free money at home. I mean, really, was that really so much to ask? I didn't think so.

Every day I woke up and fired up the computer, looking through the slew of possibly-a-scam web sites, all telling me I could work at home with them, for a small fee, of course.

Finally I hit on writing sites, like Triond and Associated Content. Since registration was free, I decided to try it and see what I could come up with.

I've been writing for a couple weeks now and am already addicted to Triond, a good way to make free money at home, although it does take a couple months to get any income up. Their response time is fast, and you can keep making revenue off of the content you write, so long as it stays on the site; someone is always going to come along and read your content, even months from now, so it's easy to get that revenue up with Triond.

Associated Content is the same way, another great way to make free money at home. They operate on revenue-sharing for your content. Constant Content on the other hand, allows you to write something, and once it's published, have it bought by various people looking for content for their web sites or magazines. The downside to this site is they can own the rights to your work and rewrite your piece, but by that time you've already been paid for it.

Another one I like is reviewstream.com. If you like writing reviews then you're in luck. This site pays two dollars per review they accept; otherwise you get a small percentage, sometimes only forty cents at a time. They accept reviews about books to movies to products you've probably already bought in the store, so you might have something to review already. They also have a board showing the latest sought-after reviews, in my thought a very handy tool. Maybe the best part about this site is you don't have to sign up with them. You input your email address and they send your statements and all relevant emails to your address.

I found loads of other sites, some asking for straight content, others listing jobs to write articles and content for blogs, but I decided to stick with these few I'd found and see what they would yield.

So far I haven't been disappointed.
