@bestwriter Sadly, those sites no longer exist and the competition is much steeper for the sites where good pay is still offered. One of the reasons I blog elsewhere is to practise and to apply new skills as I learn them. Consider it a bit of a classroom for me. The other reason is companionship 🙂

I think my first amount was also from PayPerPost – probably something like $3-$5 for writing a post that really didn’t fit my niche (I was writing about homeschooling then, and there weren’t many ads for things like school supplies!)
