Increasingly, writers are turning to the Internet as a resource to earn writing income.

• Submission is instant and payment is electronic.

• This is a win-win scenario, over waiting months to hear whether hard copy material will be published, then waiting to receive a check in the mail.

While hard copy submission is still a valid method of earning writing income, online opportunities can be a quicker source of cash. You may choose to combine both methods.

If you want to earn money through writing, a good rule of thumb is to cast a wide net over diverse waters. The Internet makes this so much easier.
