Welcome to Web Writer Central, a resource center with free articles, tools, and links designed specifically for writers.  To your left, you will see a list of websites that I've personally researched that will either pay you to write or have been valuable in my experience as a freelance writer.  

None of these sites require a fee to join--they make their income through advertisers and in turn share their revenue with writers who contribute to their sites.   It's very much a win-win situation for both sides.  If you want more detailed  information on how each site works, you can go to the "Web Writer Central Blog" located on the right-hand column.

If you would like more information on how to get started in writing on the web beyond short articles, I have a set of free how-to articles on the subject as well.

 I generate enough income through the combination of these sites that I want to "Pay-It-Forward" and help other people as well.  It honestly takes a lot of time to build this up to full-time (likely a few years if you treat it seriously part-time), but I believe it can help a lot of people in the Knoxville, TN area and beyond make enough to get an extra tank of gas each month or just give you a little financial wiggle room.  If you love to write and are willing to do the work, this is worthwhile.

If you'd like to view some of my writing for fun or just as examples of what these sites look like, feel free to visit my writing portfolio:
