Come Write For Cracked, Everybody! It Pays Money!
Cracked.com invited writers from all over the world to join the website and write funny articles, submit funny info-graphics and create great videos to earn money online. If you can write some good quality funny stuff then they’re probably searching for you to join their crew. The best part is that the process of joining the website is fairly simple and you will be able to start writing immediately after your account is approved.
The one thing you don’t go into specifics about is the pay. No fucking wonder the editors were tough on you. Being published by Cracked was phenomenal. However, that experience wasn’t entirely fun, easy, or even enjoyable.
Keep in mind this is a pitch and not the full article. You’ll need to make this pitch good in order to pass by the committee who reviews these. The Penny Hoarder is a leading personal finance publication, and they are looking for articles mostly based on personal experience. Especially ones containing detailed numbers, strategies and advice about saving or earning money. Cracked is looking for funny and clever articles, mainly in list format, and they pay $50 – $200 per article depending on the type of article.
Most times it will simply be yes or no to your submission. We update this list all the time to keep it useful. If you find a site that’s reliable, let us know.
We read each email and regularly answer inside one business day.

The best writers on Fiverr easily make more than $100 per article, so if that’s what you’re after, it’s a great place to start. I like this article for it’s honesty and in-depth analysis. I registered for cracked towards the end of last year. There was a message on their forum suggesting that entries from nonstaff members would be on hold for a while.
For the first year and a half, the site was half of my job and 10 percent of a few other peoples’. Everyone was focused on the idea of relaunching the print magazine for some reason. Since all the money was being spent on the magazine, we were allowed to get away with publishing whatever made us laugh on the website. When the magazine relaunch didn’t work out, we were looking for real jobs when the site started picking up traction and Demand Media saved us.
Allow me to introduce the editor-in-chief of the comedy site that claims to suck more productivity out of America’s day than competitors FunnyorDie, The Onion, and CollegeHumor combined. I’ve been wondering lately whether I should try writing a few articles for Cracked. In all fairness to Cracked, the editors do admit to being excessively difficult right on the sign-up page.
