I know the economy is pretty crappy right know and there are a lot of people wondering how to make money from home. I’m by no means an expert on this topic, but thought that I’d share how I make money writing for Break Studios from home during my free time.

As some of you may already know, I work full-time as a licensed master social worker from 2:30pm-10pm Monday-Friday. That gives me a few hours in the morning and a few hours at night to work from home.About 2 months ago I began working for an online company called, Break Studios. Per Break’s website:

“Highly trafficked Break Studios is looking for freelance writers for our community of highly popular and humorous websites, including Break.com, MadeMan, Holy Taco, Cage Potato, Screen Junkies, and Chickipedia”

Step One- Application Process. There is a basic application process that includes submitting a writing sample. Once your writing sample is accepted you can immediately begin writing articles. All of the articles are already titled and you choose which ones you want to write. Disclosure: Some of the article titles are pretty racy as they are targeted to a mostly male audience. If you’re uncomfortable writing “those” types of articles, just skip them. There are plenty of mild topics like, “Ten gift ideas for a new girlfriend” or “How to avoid ingrown toenails”.

Step Two- Write articles and submit them. Once you’re finished writing the article, it’s submitted electronically to your editor for approval. This process takes a day or two depending on how many articles your editor is reading through. Your editor can approve the article or send it back for a revision. I’ve only had one article sent back and that was because I didn’t read the style guideline and messed up the numbering on a bulleted post.

Step Three- Get paid! Each article that’s accepted will net you a whopping $8.00. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but honestly most of the articles are pretty short and don’t require any research. I can pump out 2-3 articles an hour if I’m not surfing the net or watching TV. You get paid twice a month via PayPal and there are no weird fees or minimum amounts to worry about. If you write one article, you get paid $8.00.

If you enjoy writing and would like to make money writing for break studios from home, I’d definitely suggest you give Break Studios a try. Signing up is free and you’ve got nothing to lose! The above image is a screenshot from my paypal account from Feb 1st showing that Break Studios (TMFT Enterprises) paid me $48.00!

Everything in this article is my opinion. I wasn’t paid for this post (they don’t even know who I am, as I write under a pseudonym). Break Studios doesn’t have a referral program and if you sign up I don’t benefit in any way.

Questions about Break Studios? I’ll do my best to answer them.
