WRITING ARTICLES

[WSapp]

I just read your very informative website and was so impressed with everything you had to offer people. I was especially impressed with the fact that you seemed to target an area that most employers leave out these days, however I must say there has been a resurgence lately that senior citizens have a certain something to offer employers that the younger generation has yet to learn. What are those things you might ask, well first of all we come from a time where integrity and dependability were a must. We took pride in our work no matter how big or small the task and believed a happy customer meant a returning customer. As for me I have a wealth of experience, I have done just about everything from the most unrewarding work a young woman could do for very little money all the way up to management and eventually to business owner. I love people and especially enjoyed watching people succeed. I grew up in a time when people expected to retire at 55 but by the time I reached 50 that changed to 62 now even that is impossible with the economy. People just can’t survive on Social Security these days and for people like me I got my pink slip just a couple of years before I was fully vested and therefore did not get a full retirement package. So here I am trying to figure out how to survive as I have been left with an adult disabled son to care for that has proven to be more expensive then I ever imagined. His father decided that he just didn’t want to spend his retirement days having to care for an adult child so he left me after 30 years of marriage which added to my financial problems. Now I am struggling to hang on to my home of 25 years that I raised my children in. I have used every dime I had to pay for medicines my son needed after he had a massive heart attack because he didn’t have insurance at that time. Life has been very difficult for me but I have always been a fighter having beat breast cancer myself at the age of 40 and the devastating effects of a heart condition at the same time. I am sure I would be an asset at writing articles about the issues of today, tomorrow and yesterday as there is always something to talk about, there is always something that someone doesn’t know about and there is always something that someone wants to know about. I have so many interest such as the things the wives go through when their husbands come home from war and they realize that the man they kissed goodbye and sent away came back as someone else and now he has this thing called PTSD and your life as you once knew it is now a living hell. I have personal knowledge of the difficulties of what it is like to be a parent of an adult child with mental illness and people treat you like it is your fault when things go wrong. They have no idea how hard it is to navigate through a medical system that tells you to do something and then blocks your every effort to do it. My knowledge base is far and wide because I have lived a long time, not all of that time has been easy , not all of that time has been bad but what I can say every step of the way I have learned something along the way and the most important thing I have learned that when you can give of yourself to someone else , when you can serve even in some small way it just makes you a better person, it heals you from the inside out. I get up every day and remind myself that today I will remember to smile at a stranger, to say hello to someone sitting alone because I might be the only person that day or that week or that month that has even acknowledged them in any way at all, nothing is worse then to feel invisible. So remember to smile at someone today!!! Oh yea!! do you think you might have a job for me writing for you? I really need to make a little money cause that might just put a smile on this old gal’s face today.

To Whom It May Concern:
I’m a single mom with two children. I had my own business for 5 years and had to close it in December 2012 because of the economic down turn. I have been living on $1340.00 a month from child support – every quarter I get a little extra from financial aid. Winter is coming and I will have only the child support to live on – if I don’t find work. I am attending California State University to complete my B.A. I’m having a very difficult time finding employment; it is also difficult to find a position that will work with my responsibilities as a mother and my academic course load. My major is Business and I hope to finish school and become a teacher. I have written copy for varies company newsletters and think my writing skills could contribute to your site. Please see attached resume and writing samples. Sincerely,

Dear Sirs or Madam, I work in a Chinese restaurant twelve hours a day for three days a week. I have triple the side work I had as a server in a restaurant that closed. Even though I have four days off, I am still exhausted. I make half of what I used to make working so much harder. I feel my body is wearing down. The niece of the owner at the Chinese restaurant told me her uncle is going to sell it and retire. I am worried I will end up like I did when the other restaurant I worked in closed. At least I have warning this time, but at age forty it will not be easy for me to get another job. I had a hard enough time when the restaurant I worked in five years closed. I went without electricity in winter. I tried to survive on bread water and wild greens. I read in your site that you may even be able to use someone to write for your company. I know I am a good writer. I wrote a short Science Fiction short story in Yahoo voices under my married name. I also wrote several other articles under my maiden name. Yes, I finished college and still can't get out of the food service business. I am in debt for the student loan too. I am desperate. I am getting ready to go put in another twelve hour shift. I make a little money online as an affiliate in several things. I created several web sites linked together, so I can post one link and have them all seen. I am not a web developer. Weebly helps you create sites and you pay a very small fee to buy your domain name. I am not making enough money to pay even one bill with these. I am so tired. I need help to earn enough to pay everything I owe. I would appreciate a job writing. If nothing else, it will help me have a reference to add to my experience.

Hi, I just read an article online about working at home by writing articles for online sites. I am a single mom of a two month old so it is hard to work outside of the home, but this seems to be a great opportunity for me to earn some money to help out my family who is currently supporting me. If you could please reply with any information possible. Thank you.

I am an adult college student set to graduate in December 2013, both bio-mom and stepmom, and wife. In my field of study, sociology, I am required to write and research constantly. I enjoy it. I was terminated from my job three weeks after returning to school last fall. We have, shall we say, been living creatively ever since. As I enjoy writing, I thought this might be an opportunity to both gain experience and earn money (and cease being a drain on our family's economy). I will submit a writing sample, as you require, but wish for guidance in what kind of sample you find most demonstrative of writing ability for your purposes. Thank you for your time. Best regards.

To whom it may concern:
First of all, let me say that I greatly appreciated the information I found on your website. I am on S.S. Disability, and having lost my secondary source of income (not being able to live on Disability alone), I have found myself in a difficult financial position. I have looked into many of the organizations that you listed, and hopefully, I will find some help quickly. I am very interested in writing online articles! I read that your website was also looking for contributors, along with the other websites you listed. You wrote that you would like a sample article. Being new to this field, I would like to know what type of article (i.e., content) you would like, & also how many words, lines, or paragraphs should it have? Thank you for your time. I await your response.

Good morning, People try the sites that pay for writing articles? Do the online writing sites work? How much can I get paid? Thank you.

Online writing sites do work. You can get paid per article, for selling articles, and more. Like many things, you may not get rich, but it can defintely be another source of income to help pay bills and debt.
