Over 30 Reliable Blogs That Pay $50+ For Your Guest Posts

Are you a freelance writer who’s tired of websites offering $1 for 100 words or $10 for 1,000 words? Well, there’s good new for you. I have a list of some good quality blogs and websites that pay you to contribute content.
I have already featured around 10 websites that pay you to write articles. But the problem is… they’re either networks or big publishers so their acceptance rate is low and a good percentage of them accept only U.S./U.K. writers. That’s not all, you’ve to be an established writer to get into their network. And then I recently featured over 90 random websites to make money online for anyone and everyone.
Now today I’m going to focus on specific blogs or websites that pay you to blog. This time I’m going to exclude networks so you can contribute your content directly and get paid. In other words, these blogs will pay you for contributing guest posts and may even hire you as one of their in-house writer.
You do have to offer extremely high quality content to match their publishing standard but you don’t have to be an established writer. Some websites may give preference to writers who have an active social media presence.
I used the Alexa rank, blogging frequency, indexed pages by Google, social media profile, and/or the overall user experience as a criteria for creating this list.
And I’ve ignored some of the famous blogs like Smashing Magazine (web 2.0), Lifehacker (tips), Lifehack (tips), SitePoint (web 2.0), Entrepreneur (entrepreneurship), MakeUseOf (tech), Babble (lifestyle), etc. as they are very choosy with low acceptance rate and they take much longer time to respond. But you can definitely try your luck.
