Writers wanted at Snipsly
I came across this site today and thought I'd pass it on since it looks like its quite active.
The site pays you based on what you earn from Adsense ads placed around your articles. Some people don't like this format and would rather be paid straight out but one thing I noticed about Snipsly is that it's articles have relatively high page views,some of them in their thousands, which, should turn in to a decent number of clicks on your ads so this site should be worth a go.
The site split ad revenue on a 20/80 basis.
With this site you get to keep the ownership of your paid article work. Whether that means you can post the same articles on a different site, I don't know as some article writing sites allow you to do this and others don't.
To keep updated on the latest writing opportunities then please sign up as a follower and if you have experience with this site or other article writing sites then please leave a comment or e mail me direct.
