Suite 101 is a non-fiction “online magazine” that pays its writers per ad click. I haven’t written for suite 101 yet, although I do plan on applying very soon. I’ve read mixed reports about how much can be made as one of their contributors. It is against their terms of service to publish how much you make as a writer, but many of the contributors hint at it in their personal blogs. For every one article I read about writers making hundreds to a thousand a month from Suite 101, there were 5 more articles saying it wasn’t worth the time and effort. Some of these writers even had 50 to 150 articles published and still were making a pittance. I think it comes down to subject matter and advertising. Those that are making decent coin are advertising themselves after writing the articles. Suite 101 also announced that in July one of their writers made just shy of five grand with only 228 articles which, of course, proves there is money to be made!
