5 High-Paying Sites for Article Writers:$500 Per Article

You deserve to get paid for writing because you are a great writer.

Seeking an opportunity to get paid enough for a single article? 

I've got you covered! Because I also keep seeking opportunities to monetise writing in different ways. 

One of the profitable ways is writing for a magazine or publication and getting paid for each piece. 

There are thousands of such publications. All publications pay different rates and work in different niches. 

I have talked about them before too. 

Today, I enlist the sites that offer very high compensation  up to  $500 for each accepted piece. 

Let's explore them. 

#1. Metro Parent

Metro Parent is an online magazine focused on parenting topics. If you are a great writer with versatile skills in writing about different topics, you can avail yourself of the opportunity. You might or might not be a parent, but you must be good at topics like parenting. 

• They pay through check. 
• The article length could be 1000 to 2500. 
• They typically pay $35 to $350. 

#2. International Living

The name itself makes it clear what this magazine can be about. They are dedicated to overseas living. If you live overseas and have a great story to share, they have a big welcoming heart for you. 

• They pay $250 to $400 for 840 to 1400-word articles, respectively. 
• If you add photographs, they also pay $50 for it. On average you can earn $500+ writing for them. 

#3. Longread

They are not limited to a specific topic or niche. Instead, they accept long-form pitches on any topic. They strictly mentioned that they do not accept AI-generated or edited content. Your content must be high quality and original. 

• The pay rate begins at $500 for personal essays or research-based pieces. 
• Pay depends on complexity, length, quality, or type of content. 

#4. Greatist

Greatist is focused on healthcare, mental health, and relationship topics. They also accept articles about careers, productivity, and social media influence.

They typically accept articles of 1000 to 1500 words in length. However, it could vary depending on the theme or subject of the article. 

• They pay $125 for an accepted pitch. 
• The payment method is not specified. 

#5. Copyhacker

As the name indicates, they are focused on copywriting. They accept pitches about the art and craft of copywriting. You can talk about entrepreneurship, marketing, and copywriting. 

• They pay a handsome compensation of $300 to $1000 for the accepted piece. 
• They typically accept an article of length 2000 words. 

What do you need to know before pitching? 

Many writers think that they are fake sites and will not pay. You must be clear that they are official, authentic, and legitimate magazines that pay writers for their work. However, they don't have any bearing on any spammy work or activity. Like they don't accept AI-written or edited content. So you must be authentic. 

Also, many sites only respond if your article is accepted. 

Wrapping up

Opportunities are all around. You only need to explore and avail them. If you are a dedicated learner, you can fit in any opportunity. Pitching on such sites can be a great compensation for your writing. Other than that, I believe it provides you with a portfolio, learning, and much more. 

Have you heard about these sites before? Have you tried writing for them before? If yes, then how's your experience?
