Okay, a little sneaky, but I did a bit of underground research. I secretly worked for a few well-known freelance websites like Need-an-Article (NAA) and Internet Research Associates (IRA) in order to see how they operated. It was actually a very interesting experience.

In all, I liked NAA much better, as their system was extremely easy to deal with, they had a lot of open projects, and the payments were always delivered on time. As for IRA, I didn’t like working there. The article delivery system wasn’t as nice, payments were a tad bit slower, and I didn’t get that warm and fuzzy feeling. Plus, other writers could review your submitted work.

Even so, I must say that working at places like this have some value to beginning IMers. Although you will have to work your fanny off in order to make decent money, that shouldn’t deter you.

Instead, you can use places like this to perfect your writing skills and use the income that you gain and turn them into wealth to support your IM efforts. Here’s how: Let’s say that you work a few hours writing 10 articles and you’re paid about $50.00 for your time. Let’s say you don’t spend this money on a new outfit. Instead, you reinvest this money into your Internet Marketing business and use it as seed money to fund another online venture.

With this method, you could take those meager earnings and turn them into something worthwhile.

To explain further, let’s say you take that $50.00 you made and buy a logo from a talented designer on eBay for $25.00 and obtain a domain name from namecheap.com for $9.00. Then you use blogger.com to create a free blog, create or purchase some articles, place them on your site, add a bit of AdSense, promote a few affiliate products, and boom, you have a website/blog with much possibility. In fact, you could even write additional articles and reinvest the money again to purchase some back links. By doing this investing, you will take a $50.00 investment and turn it into a cash cow.

In conclusion, websites like NAA and IRA aren’t likely to make you rich, but you can help them grow your IM business. The key is to use a bit of creativity and boom…you’ll be raking in the cash/building a sustainable business and your broke money-spending counterparts will be left in the dark saying…freelance writing is too hard and doesn’t pay the bills.
