Want to make a few extra dollars a month and build an article portfolio? Check out writeforcash .

They pay $10-$15 per article (around 800 words or up). You choose the topic from a list they have posted on their website. There are a lot of do-it-yourself topics (how to change an outlet, how to repair a dryer, etc.) but others as well.

No, it’s not much money, but the articles don’t take that long to put together. Besides, if you choose a topic you’re somewhat interested in, it can be a little fun. They will post your byline, so you can use these to flesh out a sparse writing portfolio.

All my research so far indicates they’re a reputable site. Good luck!
