Default Make Money Writing Articles Scams to Avoid

Are you looking to make money writing articles online? If you are, you need to be cautious. Unfortunately, there are a number of scams that target this amazing work-at-home opportunity.

One of the many scams you will come across online involves taking your articles and running. This leaves you with hours unpaid. There is a way that you can prevent this from happening to you. For new projects, most legitimate clients will want to start out small, to gauge your writing

This may involve getting a $100 project to start with. Be cautious of someone who wants you to do a $1,000 project the first time. You don’t have to turn it down, but offer yourself protection. Require a small amount of payment upfront or at the halfway point. If you aren’t paid, don’t finish the work.


As for what you can do if someone you meet online takes your articles and runs, remember that you retain the rights to your articles. If you were not paid, you still legally own the articles in question. You can use other methods to make money, so that you aren’t faced with a total loss. Post them on revenue sharing websites, where you receive a page view bonus. Since the scammer may have already posted your articles online, take the time to rewrite them. Yes, this isn’t fair, but it does provide you with protection

Another scam involves having you pay to get article writing projects. Yes, there are legitimate companies that require you to pay a small monthly fee, like $10, but you shouldn’t have to. There are legitimate article writing opportunities online where you are paid to write, not the other way around.

Thanks for taking the time to read this article,

Always get a deposit...upfront..
It is easy to get excited about a writing job..
But if you do not get paid....bummer.....
50% upfront is not unreasonable....
Better to walk away than to get ...bitten by a thief...

Great comment, Makes sense!
You can protect yourself if you are advertiser by using Escrow.com
and a publisher, I agree get 50% down!!!

Thanks for starting this post. You are doing a great job to aware beginners here because we need a lot of guidance in this field. I have had no guidance that is why i have been fooled once. The guy ran away with my articles without paying me a penny

Well ray! Can you please elaborate a bit about "revenue websites". which websites are these? please tell me some authentic one.

ALso tell me, how many views per day on a page is required to get good amount of your article?

Thanks in advance
