There has truly never been a better time to be a writer. With written content being the number one thing people search for on the internet, there is practically limitless opportunity for writers to find avenues to publish their work and make money. One of the best places to write and earn money for your work is the very popular website, Xomba.

Xomba bills itself first and foremost as a community where people who like to write can write and comment on other's writing. The way it works is you set up a personal blog that you can use to write about whatever it is you want to. Some people use the opportunity to write highly searchable content in order to earn money. Other people write more personal opinion pieces and connect with other readers in a dialogue about a certain topic. Xomba has a Google page rank of 4, which is very good and means that you will already have some traffic coming to your posts even before you have published that much. If you start a blog at another free blogging content management system like blogger or wordpress, then it will take a long time to start getting traffic.

I recommend to people who are just starting out publishing to start writing for a site that already gets ample traffic. This way, writers get instant exposure and can even start to earn money. Later, when you decide to start your own private domain blog, you can promote it anywhere else you already publish your work, including Xomba. I've tried out a lot of the sites where you can write and earn with Adsense including hubpages, bloggerparty, blogfeast, Associated Content, and many more, and I still recommend Xomba as a great place to start out. Primarily because you have the most control over your content. You can edit your work for eternity, you can earn money from your published content for eternity, and you can delete it any time also.

It's a very solid site. An added bonus is that you can make money from your blog from the advertisements on your pages. If you are familiar with Google Adsense, then you already know how this works. Adsense is Google's advertising program, which is very prevalent on the web. Almost any site you visit will have some Adsense advertisements on it. They are very simple, usually just two or three lines of text promoting a product or service that relates to the content of the site. The owner of the site on which these ads are posted earns some money through the google adsense program for each time someone clicks on the ads. So bloggers can get paid to write. Popular bloggers with multiple sites can make some decent money.

The way it works on Xomba is the ad revenue is split 50/50. Half of the ads on your site are registered to the website, the other half are registered to you. When someone clicks on your ads, you make money. You can definitely make money writing on Xomba. Some people bring in pretty good monthly income. I had a month where I brought in around $2,000.00. Seriously. You can make money writing online. It's true. There is also a referral program if you want to invite friends or acquaintances to join Xomba. When you refer someone, you get 10% of the ad revenue from Xomba. The 10% comes from Xomba's portion of revenue, not the new user.

The person who is referred still gets 50% of all ad revenue. A quick thing about Adsense: when you sign up, you get a personal code that you can post on any site that you own or can gain ad revenue from. It is your code and no one else has access to it. You are also paid directly from the Google Adsense program.
