Making Money On DigitalJournal: A Guide To Earning Cash On This News Website

There are a few ways to earn money, or at least increase your chances of making money on DigitalJournal. For those of you who do not know what this site is, it is a citizens-journalists website, which is a news website that allows people like you and me post news articles. However, you need to apply to be a journalist, but don't worry. If you have basic English and writing skills, then you should have no problem becoming a journalist on the site, and once you are accepted you will be able to start making money with DigitalJournal.

Don't try to post as many news articles as you possibly can. You will make money with DigitalJournal when you do this, but banging out article after article can become quite repetitive and you could do yourself a lot of good if you focus on quality over quantity. The better the news article, the more people will see your content, and the more people will 'like' your content. This all means your chances of making money on Digital Journal are good. I know everybody says when it comes to writing articles for any site, quality is always better than quantity, but this is specially true for Digital Journal.

The more points you earn, the higher you move up on the Digital Journal leader board. You earn points when you do certain things on the site, such as liking content, getting likes on your content, publishing content and receiving and commenting on content. However, many people make the mistake of trying to publish as many news articles as they can, and this is something that they should avoid doing, because as mentioned earlier you will likely get tired and drained doing this. Write a few quality articles, take the time to comment on content, like the articles you enjoy reading and the chances are you will build a following, which means the chances are you will gain even more points. The higher you are up on the leader board, the more money you are likely to make on the site.

A great way to earn points and make money with Digital Journal is by promoting your published content on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. It seems that news articles on the site do quite well when they are promoted on social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. The more articles you share, the better the chances are that your content will go viral. Share at least 5-7 articles per week via social media sites. Anything more than this may cause your social media following to lose interest or just plain ignore your posts. If you want to make money with DigitalJournal, then make sure to share your articles.

Now that you have a general idea of how to earn cash writing for the site, you need to have a decent strategy. Below is a strategy that you can follow and increase your chances of earning cash on the site. Keep in mind that the things listed below are things you will want to do on A DAILY BASIS.

1. Write one or two news articles
2. Comment on five articles that you enjoyed reading
3. Like those articles that you have commented on
4. Reply back to comments that you get

The above is a very basic strategy you can follow, and once you perfect it, then you can complete the above strategy in as little as 30 minutes or so.

If you follow the strategy I have outlined for you, then you could realistically earn between $50-$75 for the month, give or take. All it takes is one or two articles to go viral and do really well on the site, and this means more money earned for you, so the numbers I have just thrown out are just estimates. You can probably earn this amount of money with the site in a short amount of time. Some writers on the site are making a little bit of cash, while some of the most prolific writers are likely earning more than $100-$150. Some writers can earn a bit more, but it all depends on how active they are and how much of the work that they are putting out there is of good quality.

The good thing about the website is that writers from all over the world can apply to write news for the website. It really does not matter what country a person lives in. If you take the time to browse through the profiles of writers on the website, you will notice that they are located in many countries from around the world. As long as you can write articles in decent English, then you should have no problem being accepted as a citizen journalist.

In order to get paid, you will need to have a PayPal account, and as of now and for the last few years, this is how the website pays its writers. Another question you may have is how often does the website pay? The site pays its citizen journalists once per month on the first. The site has paid on time every time. I cannot remember a time when Digital Journal has paid late or not paid at all.

DigitalJournal is worth putting your time and effort into. Writing articles for the site is fun and easy to do. I highly recommend giving this site a try.
