Writing for Interact Media

Thousands of talented individuals are turning to writing online and other alternative ways to work and get paid. Some of us choose to write and get paid because we see it as an attractive source of extra income during retirement or as stay at home parents.

Thousands more try it because they have lost a job and are desperately seeking a new source for getting paid regularly. In the words of yesterday’s political ads “It’s the economy…..”.

You may never get rich writing online or creating content but you can make money doing it. In my last hub on getting paid upfront for writing we discussed writing content for Demand Media Studios. Because of the Panda updates DMS a less attractive place to work for freelancers.

Let’s look at an online content provider that hires freelance writers and connects them with clients looking for content. Interact Media is a good source of additional income if you can create good content and do simple SEO.

About Interact Media

Interact Media provides media solutions for online publication. Blog and website owners request content from them and freelance writers can select the job from a list of available work, write the content and submit it to the client for approval. If the client is satisfied the writer gets payment for the work credited to his or her Interact Media account. Writers are issued payment for their work twice monthly.

How to Apply

Apply online at Interact Media. There is a simple application form you will need to fill out and you need to submit a sample of your work. Writers are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 stars according to the quality of their submitted sample so give them something that sows how good you are.

The rating also determines how much you are paid per word and what assignments you will have access to. After you submit the application and your sample Interact Media will send you an email telling you whether or not you are accepted as a writer and telling you how to open your account so that you can get to work.

How to make money with Interact Media-be prolific

The good- they have lots of work. If you are a prolific writer and a good researcher you can make fairly decent money. You will have to write quite a few articles for their clients to get much in the way of earnings because the majority of the work is priced at between .7 and 3 cents per word. There is a lot of work available and they pay everything you earn to your PayPal account on the 1st and 15th day of the month.

The staff and editors are very professional and friendly which makes working with Interact Media more enjoyable. There is a writers forum and easy access to help from staff when you need it. The initial pay per word may be less than some other sites but the potential for growth and getting rehired for regular work from satisfied clients makes this one a good place for freelancers to add to the client list.
