So if you're using Steemit, then you may like the idea of writing to pay your way through life.
Here is a list of websites that will buy submitted texts from you:
https://alistapart.com/about/contribute
http://fundsforwriters.com/submissions/
https://www.iwriter.com/signup.php?wrt
https://www.thepennyhoarder.com/contributor-guidelines/
http://www.uxbooth.com/contribute/ (I feel like this one is less for writers and more for experts in a certain field. They pay the most. )
