I'm a big believer in not putting all my eggs in the proverbial single basket. I'd get bored providing web content for one or two sites, for starters. And if there's anything my online writing experience has taught me, it's that each site has its strengths and weaknesses. Experimentation is one of the best ways to find the best sites.
Choosing from all the online writing gigs out there can be overwhelming at first. It's hard to know which web content providers are legit, and beyond that, which ones are worth your time. Articles, blog posts, forums and reviews of online writing opportunities will quickly reveal a sort of "top 10" of web content mills. Don't stick with that list; you'd be amazed at the sheer number of quality sites willing to publish your work or hook you up with clients in need of web content.
I'm not putting down the content mill concept. Sites that churn out amazing amounts of web content (with or without the benefit of editorial guidance) provide easy entry into the world of online writing.
But some sites for freelance writers are better than others. The trick to finding the best fit for your online writing is doing your research. Just as you would research the facts for your articles, thoroughly checking out potential homes for your web content is essential.
Even though it seems like a given, I'll mention this anyway -- don't pay anyone to display your work. There are plenty of online writing sites that will pay you for web content. Of course, many pay less than what your writing is worth, but welcome to the world of digital journalism.
