Express Yourself, Get Paid

The internet has become a feeding ground for personal expression. With the rise of user generated content sites; everyone is an author, a journalist, a pundit, and (in the case of Youtube) a director. But how can you make money by expressing yourself? Google is leading the way in internet advertising with their nonintrusive textual ads. These ads automatically target the content that you have generated. If you write about horses you will get ads about horses, if you write a recipe then you will get food related ads, and so on and so forth.
Google Adsense is easy to sign up for and has a user friendly pay system. There are plenty of websites that say you can make money by writing for them but most of the time these payments are a cut rate pay that isn̢۪t really reflective of how much money the website is making off of the article. The best website that I have found is called Xomba (). This website splits its Google Adsense revenue with its users 50/50. This allows you to write as many posts as you want and truly share in the profits that are being made. Other sites that have revenue sharing include Associated Content, Helium and Hubpages but I find Xomba to have the best revenue sharing of all of these sites.
