If you love to write you can sell short stories online. You can make money doing something you love to do.

Some online companies will let you write about anything you want whereas other online companies may want a particular short story written so they can buy it from you.

To make sure you write well enough you may want to join a free online writing club. You can search many types of writing genres. This is a great way to perfect your writing. The way it works is you join a writing group. You will post your short story and other members will critique your writing. I have found that most people are honest. If something in your story is confusing they will let you know. It is nice to have a fresh pair of eyes or more reading your work. People will also compliment your work when they really like something. Others can find grammatical errors as you will only want to submit perfect short stories to sell online.

Always use Word when writing your story. Word will find spelling errors and incorrect sentence fragments for you to correct. This makes a huge difference in the professionalism of your writing abilities.

You can find out where to sell your short story online by typing those keywords into Google and other search engines. Two places I know that will buy your short stories are eLance.com and when a client requests a short story you can sell one or two at a time on Internet Research Associates. As of now, the stories on Internet Research Associates pay $15, $20, and $30 depending on the word count of the story. The stories you will write and sell on eLance.com you will have to bid on the job. If your bid wins, that is how much money you will make when you write and sell your short story online.
