With the birth of a child, a woman, in a sense, drops out of her usual life. The office and the fitness room are replaced by wheelchair riding and running to the clinic. At first, it is difficult for a mother with a newborn in her arms to find even 5 minutes to eat normally or go to the shower. But the baby is growing up, and the mother begins to have free time that can be spent effectively, for example, by spending it on making money on the Internet, namely, earning money by writing or rewriting articles for their further sale on article exchanges, or writing to order. (This is a simple way to make money on the Internet, and anyone can handle it)
Work for a young mother
There are a lot of options for how to dispose of the time that has appeared, but many women on maternity leave do not feel very comfortable without their own earnings, therefore they are ready to spend free minutes on part-time jobs. The realities of modern life are such that before the birth of a child, a woman, as a rule, worked on an equal basis with her husband and had quite a comparable income. It is not surprising that, left without her income, a young mother experiences some discomfort.
A woman on maternity leave has more serious reasons for looking for a job than a simple lack of funds for hairpins. For example, loans and other financial obligations, the low earnings of the husband are also a reason for a young mother to be puzzled by looking for part-time jobs.
True, it is not so easy for a maternity nurse to find a suitable option for earning money. Office work, even part-time, is not very suitable for a young mother. It is a rare case when a family has full disposal of non-working grandmothers who are ready to spend several hours every day with their grandson. It is not advisable to look for a nanny for the time of my mother’s part-time work, because the nanny will also have to pay. The ideal option is to do the work at home, without a rigid schedule.
You should always start your job search with reflections on the topic “What can I do?”.
So, if you are "friends" with the word, love and know how to write about something, express your thoughts well and competently, you can easily secure your income by writing articles. In addition to literary talent, for such work, you must have a broad outlook and the ability to understand topics that are new to you. ALTHOUGH! Even if you do not understand something, the Internet is full of various materials, after studying which you will write an article on literally any topic! And we think everyone can write an article.
Who needs articles and why
Briefly: Now the most popular source of information search is the Internet. To create a website is not a tricky business, it is much more difficult to ensure that users visit this particular site, in other words, to provide the site with high traffic. For ordinary users, a site is just a page on the network where you can find the information you need or stumble upon an advertisement. For the site owner, it is a business and a source of income. The more people visit the site every day, the more you can earn on it. The main way to attract and retain those who visit the site is to make the site interesting and informative so that a person can get a full answer to his question there.
You need to fill the site with information every day. The more often and better the site is filled, the higher the chances that search engines will link to it on the first page of search results. Of course, it is simply physically impossible for the site owner to fill the Internet resource on his own. Moreover, the site owner does not have to be a "writer." So, the work of writing articles can be given to third-party performers. You, a young mother on maternity leave, can become such a performer. Actually, this is what makes money writing articles or rewriting them.
We invent, rewrite or translate
Requirements for texts are different.
What is rewriting
In some cases, the customer needs the author to simply retell the existing material. Sometimes the source for such a retelling is provided by the customer, sometimes - you need to find it yourself. You read the article, ponder it and set out the content in your own words. This is a kind of reworking of the text so that search engines perceive it as original. Everyone did this work in literature lessons while still a schoolboy. One way or another, when writing essays, one had to rely on some sources, examples of other essays, articles of literary critics. By processing all the information in your own way, at the output you received the author's text. In the language of customers and authors, such work is called rewriting or rewriting.
What is copyright
In some cases, the customer requires a completely copyright text. It can be a comment about something, your own experience in any field. Such work is calledcopyright, which literally translates to "copyright". Copywriting does not imply the use of any sources for writing material. Such work is more expensive.
What is a translator, everything is clear here. Translate articles for money.

- "About me": here you can briefly tell about yourself in free form. It is better to focus on your professional qualities and experience in writing articles.

We are looking for orders and building work
After registering and filling out information about yourself, you can proceed to the search for orders. In the search filter, you can select the topics of interest (which you want to write about. There are many topics), the type of task (copyright or rewriting) and the price for 1000 characters. However, newcomers may not respond to all orders. Before the search for orders will be available in full, it is necessary to complete 5 rewriting works worth less than 30 rubles / 1000 characters.
A kind of tender is held for each order. If you, as a performer, apply for the execution of an order, this does not mean that the customer will approve of your candidacy. There is a certain time allotted for the tender, so you can easily follow the fate of your responses. If your candidacy for the execution of the order is approved, you need to accept the order for work by clicking the appropriate button.
A limited time is also given for accepting an order for work. If you are planning to leave and are not sure that you will not miss the moment of taking the order, it is better not to respond to offers.

The lead time is set by the customer. The lead time starts counting from the moment you accepted the order for work. This information is immediately open and it is best not to ignore it. It is better to read a detailed description of the order, terms of reference (TOR), delve into the deadlines and price in advance, while you have not yet responded to the project. This will help avoid rejection of work and other misunderstandings. If you have any questions for the customer, it is better to ask them in advance.
When responding to orders, calculate your strength and time. High-quality and timely execution of work is a guarantee that you will be included in the white lists of customers, and orders for writing articles will become regular. And this means the earnings will be regular and will only grow!
If they are satisfied with your articles, some of the customers may offer to work on a regular basis. Collaboration can be continued outside the content exchange. It is more convenient to work directly with customers, since you can choose different payment methods, negotiate more flexible terms of cooperation. Such work will be based only on confidence in each other, therefore, before agreeing to transactions outside the exchange, make sure that the risks of fraud are minimal.
How much is paid for it and how much can you earn

The minimum amount for withdrawing funds in rubles is 150 rubles, in WMZ - 5 WMZ.
