Getting Paid to Read Articles on the Web

As writers, we need to constantly expose ourselves to new ideas that will in turn help us develop new articles and stories. Readbud is a site where you get paid to read articles. Admittedly, the pay isn’t much and it seems like a lot of trouble to go through to earn a few pennies at a time. However, there are more benefits than cash when you sign up for Readbud.

You get to select which categories of articles you want to read. You get paid for reading about new ideas that may help you in your work. By focusing on topics that interest you, or choosing topics that will help you learn more about things you’re already doing you increase your knowledge.

As a member of Readbud, I can testify to the fact that I’ve benefitted from some of the things I’ve read there. I learned a few tricks about technology that I never would have thought of before, and I’ve applied some of their cooking tips in my own kitchen.

Most of the articles are really good, and they don’t take that long to read. As writers, we spend so much time surfing the internet for our research anyway. Why not purposely select the types of articles you want to read about, and get paid for doing it? You can still surf the internet for everything else. That’s one habit that never needs to be broken.

  2. I'm pretty close, and I only signed up about 2 weeks ago. You can receive a lot of articles if you pick the right topics.
