If you are savvy with the computer-related technology and would like to share your knowledge \u2013 these markets are for you! Study guidelines carefully to understand specifics of articles that editors look for. Do they accept pitches or completed manuscripts? Do you need to provide any visual aids? What audience you will be writing for? Do editors accept only original work? What rights are you selling? If your manuscript has been accepted for publication, will you be able to post it on your website or blog? When in doubt \u2013 contact the editor of your targeted publication and ask your questions. Keep in mind that some of these writer\u2019s markets pay only via PayPal, thus, it would be a good idea to create your PayPal account (if you do not have one yet). — Tatiana Claudy<\/strong><\/p>\n
