The goal of a freelance content writer is to write less while making more money. The potential to make money writing content for the internet is endless. But, not all writing assignments are created equal. There are many websites that pay nothing for their content, but will provide other benefits such as exposure and experience. These no to low paying sites are for the beginning writers who want to learn the skills to become an online content writer. These sites will help in creating a portfolio of clips to move on to better paying markets. The more experienced writers should not waste too much if any time on those lower paying assignments, "Time is money."No matter the experience level it is wise to consider the benefits of writing evergreen content. The websites that hire writers want content that will show results over a long time so the hits will continue long after the material has been written. It could be said that evergreen content is timeless. The well-paid content writers know this and use this information to increase their income potential. To write evergreen content a writer should always remember:
- Never use references to dates, or events that can be dated
- Never use numbers that will date a piece-such as the price of gas
- Never mention current or past cultural icons-stars, bands, songs etc.
