If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed for even more money making ideas.

While you can grow a business and customer base through forums and ads, there are also places that will purchase your articles outright. Most will allow you to post your article and basically put it up for sale. People visit these sites just for the purpose of buying content. One site that will purchase your articles up front is Associated Content.

A 500 word article will fetch you $3 - $5 each but have been known to go up to $50 for an article. I’m not sure what made that one so special, but it is possible. When you submit an article to Associated Content, it will take a couple of days for them to read it and make an offer at which time you can except or decline. You can also chose between exclusive (not published anywhere else) or non-exclusive (you all ready have used it else were on the web).
