This year has been hard so far with us trying to catch up on bills from last year. So I have been trying to figure out how I can make money that will come in on a steady basis. So this week as I was online I found these websites where we can submit articles we write and they will pay us. As I was researching the sites, I thought you might be interested as well. Here is a list to begin with although I am sure there are many more sites if you take the time to search on Google.
I’ve done my best to put some of these sites in one place to make it easy for you to make money with your blog. However, I haven’t used any of these sites before, so make sure that you do your due diligence before giving away your content.

FreelanceMom Guidelines for Submissions
- Your article should offer current practical and actionable advice, tips and be *in-depth enough that the reader walks away with new knowledge and new approaches. (*In-depth, meaning, not saying the same thing that is already mentioned a hundred times before and is well-researched and thought-out).
- Your article should be well-organized, written in short paragraphs and include lists and bullet points where it makes sense. Feel free to add graphics to illustrate your points.
- Please include any references to research or other references you used to write your content. We won’t necessarily put this in your article, but so that we know where you got your facts.
- Your item HAS to be original and not published anywhere else EVER. (We have exclusive rights to the content).
- Your article should contain personal stories and anecdotes that connect and are relatable to other moms who want to sell their expertise or currently run a part-time or full-time business.
- Your article should have a thought-out headline (which gives me a good indication of what your content will be like).
- Your article should contain a “20 to 30-minute action plan” at the end (whether that is in the form of reflective questions, tools to use or an actual step-by-step plan that will help the reader apply their learning).
- Guest articles should be between 900 to 1,500 words.
- Three types of articles do well here, but not limited to are (I have examples of content ideas below):
- Highly personal pieces where there are lessons learned that you share or aggregated case-studies from other moms running businesses based on a particular theme. For example: “How these three moms priced their services or unique ways to make an extra $1000 a month or “How I increased my Facebook engagement and got 100 new email subscribers.”
- Highly researched articles that illustrate trends or industry knowledge. For example: “Should you publish your price on your website? what the experts say and why?”
- Education based articles (guides) on specific systems, processes or tools. For example “illustrated demo on “how to use an xxx process or tool to save 5 hours a week”.or “Your guide on negotiating the price with first-time clients” or “the one tweak you need to make to your website that your missing or where you should put your opt-in forms on your website and why.”
- Highly personal pieces where there are lessons learned that you share or aggregated case-studies from other moms running businesses based on a particular theme. For example: “How these three moms priced their services or unique ways to make an extra $1000 a month or “How I increased my Facebook engagement and got 100 new email subscribers.”

Now, I know the items may not be accepted, and that is fine with me as I am looking for the critique more than the money. As I need to know how to become better and what I do and I know this will help me with that.
