As a “Stay At Home Mom” there are times when we need extra money, and we start to look for ways to remain at home with our families while earning extra money. As a Blogger you can be classified as a writer, so this morning I would like to share places where you can submit your parenting articles and get paid for the content you send in.
Before I share these websites with you, I would like to let you know I haven’t submitted any articles to these sites, but I plan on it in the Future. Before I do, I thought I know I need to work on my writing, and you might feel the same way. This weekend I plan on picking up a Journal and start practicing my writing.
If journaling isn’t something you think you would enjoy, then you could look into setting up a free blog and practice writing. Or even write an E-Book and share it with your friends and family once they read the book ask them for feedback. When you’re ready to submit your articles, you will not get turned down because you will know the things people will and will not read.
