Anyone, young or old, can be paid for their writing, as long as they have a Paypal Account. The tricky thing is, you need to be 18 to get a Paypal account, but if you’re younger, and your parents are willing, have them sign up and allow you to use it. Unfortunately, 99% of the money you make as a writer online will come from Paypal, so you do need one of these accounts.

Visit the Writing Jobs section of our website and take a look around there. We have aggregated a number of different paid jobs through freelancing websites, so you will be taken off-site to apply, but these are some opportunities for easy money you can make at home. When writing for these companies, you’ll be paid according to how well you write, so you’ll need sufficient English language skills to get paid. In addition, you need to make sure to have proper grammar and spelling.

You DO NOT need to be an experienced writer, nor does your grammar need to be picture perfect. Very few people find it exciting to read textbook quality articles, so write your articles like you would talk to your buddies in the bar. Now, you’re a personal and friendly author who is just out there trying to share their opinion. That’s the kind of writer that people are looking to read, and it’s what comes to most people naturally anyways. Get out there and try it before your judge the opportunity or you judge yourself.

Go ahead and sign up right away, both at Paypal and take a look to see what kinds of writing you can be doing for people right now in the Writing Jobs section.
