If you previously dedicated a great amount of your time building informational and how to pages for Mahalo?

I was offered a guide position, but like Unwirklich I decided the pay was not enough for the time committment. I too am sticking around as an Answers Guide, though. I make most of my online money at Demand Studios now.

They pay $15 up front per article. Most of the articles are 300 word How-To's. They have literally 200,000+ titles waiting to be written.

Every article I write gets reviewed by an editor who has worked in print media. Most of them get published on eHow, but some go to AnswerBag. Demand Media has a stringent application process.

I have known about them more than a year, but was too chicken to apply until Mahalo pivoted. Now I am so glad I applied! A friend at Associated Content helped me put together a writer's resume and to select something I had already written that she said was a decent writing sample that was unbiased and that did not use any passive language.

There are MANY other writing sites online. I did have over 200 pages here and do not wish nor have time to be a guide (the pay just doesn't pan out for the hours) I republished my content from mahalo pre-TOS change and am now continuing to make adrev off it that way on Helium.com. This is one of the other sites you can write for money online for.

The pay there is not amazing but they take republished content meaning you could have sold it 10 times before and they don't care. They pay between .50-2.50 depending on your rank and adrev after that. Associatedcontent.com is another site I use a lot.

They let you write about anything and pay based on a secret formula (ad alignment/key words/etc. ) it's usually around 2-6 bucks, but you can become a featured contributor and you'll get 3 10 dollar assignments a month. There usually wild card. Then you get paid per 100 pageviews after that ranging from 1.50 -2.00 depending on rank.

To name a few others... constantcontent. Com, textbroker.Com, ehow. Com, examiner.

Com, about.Com, among others. The net is actually flooded with content writing options. I loved Mahalos task section and am sad to see it go, but it's not the end of the world.

I am sticking around for the answer's guide position though.

I didn't do How To pages but worked on pages for Mahalo since the infancy stages in the summer of 2007. While working in the Mahalo Greenhouse, I created nearly 400 pages. I then did some work for a few months, 20 hours per week with Mahalo Social.

After I was told I was no longer needed to do that work, I then took part intensively in the Mahalo Answers and Mahalo Tasks. I worked my way up to black belt and managed nearly 100 pages and updated many for the sports team. I worked on the Mahalo GoTeam for one week before it was removed.

When I found out that I didn't make it as a Mahalo Guide, I was disappointed. Since then, I have become a answer guide at Mahalo and am trying to reach the 40 questions and 200 answers per month goal. I haven't found any other sites that I could write for an earn any extra money.

I am buying my time, hoping in the future for increased opportunity to contribute and earn cash at Mahalo.

My dedication was on Mahalo Answers, I was never part of the How To pages of Mahalo, and I only manage at most seven pages. With the complete revamp of Mahalo, I became part of the Guruteam, as a Guru guide concentrating on 20 questions and 100 answers, I applied for Page Guide position but unfortunately my application has not been considered for the first batch but I am hoping that my application will be reconsidered in the next batches, so I am looking forward to hearing from the Community Manager soon and not later. As far as alternative sites that offer the same competitive rates with Mahalo, I guess some users have already mentioned them, just take a look at their terms of service, maybe it would fit on the sites you are looking for.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
