You will really need to use a laptop or a desktop to write the list you want to submit. It will be very hard to write a list article on a mobile device seeing as it must contain at least 10 paragraphs. That will be very hard to type on a mobile device. The earning potential of Listverse is actually pretty good.
Firstly, you don’t need to be an experienced writer. According to Listverse, you just need the ability to put a list together. Another observation is that all their articles are in a list format and with no less than 10 items. I just checked their write for us page and they’ve recently removed all references to getting $100. And on their submission page, it says they do not pay for submissions. Acceptance can happen quickly, sometimes within hours of submission, or sometimes weeks later.
Your list should be factual and verifiable, and should have links to reputable sources. I went back and added more meat to my list, getting it to the minimum length required, and was finally allowed to proceed. The resulting page and the resulting confirmation email I got told me that it would be up to two weeks before hearing from them. Apparently they read every entry they get, and it is time consuming. I am a patient man, so I was OK with this. But generally, they do expect articles to be of 1,500–2,500 words for feature articles, 600–1,500 words for articles, and 500–600 words for mini-articles.
These 14 websites that will pay are just starting points to earn money. Dollar Stretcher is a collective of publications promoting “living better for less,” providing readers with ways to save money and time. You need to query your post idea before submission, and it should be up to 800 words. There are hundreds of articles already on the blog, so pitching an idea is crucial before you start to draft your post. Dollar Stretcher will not accept articles that repeat already published content, so wait until your pitch is checked.
In light of this, there is no reason ALL of my submissions should have been rejected in favor of these absolutely inferior pieces. It only confirms what others have said, that Listverse is failing. I’ll have an eye out for any permutation of my submissions being re-purposed without compensation, however. Lorraine currently lives in sunny southern Spain.
Not a wait in getting paid, but a wait of up to two weeks after you submit your list before you are notified whether or not it is accepted for publication. You are always notified by email whether your submission is accepted for publication, so keep your email address current with ListVerse at all times. What we don’t want to see are lists on sports, self-help, personal stories, or gaming. Listverse pays $100 for a single article to their writers. The online platform provides millions of readers with the world’s best articles related to various topics. This website is for explorers who want to gather knowledge worldwide, and that’s why they welcome writers and pay them this considerable amount.
On the first it took almost two months each time, but I was eventually paid. The last one was published over 5 months ago, but no payment and no response to inquiries. It’s too bad because it’s an interesting site, but if Listverse can’t pay people for their contributions they are committing fraud and the site should be taken down.
When so many of these mills pay $5 for guest posts or $10 per article, it’s no wonder freelance writers get discouraged when trying to make money online. Listverse sends out a form letter saying that they receive 150 submissions per day and only publish 3 of those. If that is accurate (who knows?), then there are 147 writers per day who spent time on their articles just like me and were not paid for all of their work. That is a terrible model for freelancing writers. I think the whole gig economy freelancing model is a ripoff that penalizes writers and puts the whole risk obligation on the writer and none on the publishing website.
No one really pays a $100 unless you are writing freelance for a magazine or newspaper, so there is something truly odd about their payment offer. Do yourself a favor and look somewhere else. I am the owner of Listverse and would like to briefly comment on the above.
I love writing and have what I consider a good mastery of the English language. My article was about 1000 words, so I thought it was ready to go. Do you know if Sporteology still accept submissions? But I’d say since it’s freelance work in a way, as long as you are submitting content they like, it wouldn’t matter to them where you live. They expect the articles to be more than 800 words but pay only $5, which is pathetic if you ask me.
