If you're just starting out as an Internet marketer and are looking for a quick way to fund your business, but have not yet managed to sell anything, this article is for you.
One of the biggest reasons why people fail on the Internet is simply that they run out of money. This is a pity because Internet business start-up costs are not actually very high if you compare them to the cost of starting a traditional bricks-and-mortar company. Nor is it that difficult to find a way to finance your Internet start-up business even before you have mastered the art of selling on the Internet.
No, I'm not about to advise you to spend your day filling in forms or doing online surveys. There is a much better way than that. What I'm talking about is writing and submitting articles to article distributors that will pay you for your content. Now, you won't get very rich from these activities, but it is perfectly feasible for you to cover your Internet marketing costs every month by writing and publishing articles, reviews, and tips.
So let's have a look at some sites that will pay you when they publish your content.
1.
http://www.associatedcontent.com/
This is one of the best places to make money each time your article is published. If your article is accepted you'll be offered a fee and if you accept, it will be paid directly into your Paypal account. At the time of writing, payouts range between $3-$10 per article.
Associated Content also pays bonuses on page views, so, if they are popular, your articles will generate a continuing trickle of income for you after they've been published.
For more information about that see:

You can choose to give Associated Articles exclusive rights or not. Exclusive rights pay higher but you can't publish those articles anywhere else.
If you are willing to accept a lower price for your articles you will be able to retain the right to publish them elsewhere as well. So you will be able to use them on your own website, or blog, or publish them on other article directories.

Write your own article and set your own price for it, or write articles to order for a stipulated price, as listed on the website.
Payments are made to your Paypal account.
You can also join their affiliate programme and earn commissions on writers who you introduce to the website.
3.
http://ehow.com
This is another article directory that pays US residents for the articles they submit. Again, payments are made directly to your Paypal account.
4.
http://momproductreviews.com/
Momproductreviews pays $5.00 for reviews of products relating to pregnancy, babies and toddlers, as well as products for older children, parenting, and mothers.
The payout is not great but the articles only have to be between 200-250 words.
Your cash is sent to your Paypal account within 7 days of publication.
5.
http://daytipper.com/
DayTipper wants you to send them your tips. Each tip must be less than 500 characters long - yes, characters, NOT words!
They pay you $3 each time they publish one of your tips. Payments are sent to your Paypal account when your tips are published.
You can submit as many tips as you want, but don't expect them all to be published.
If you write tips that are related to your niche market, any that are not accepted on daytripper.com can be reused as material for your blog.
So, by using these resources and posting to them on a regular basis, you will be able to cover your basic Internet business start-up costs, while also getting your name and profile out on the web.
