If you are a writer who happens to live in Canada, you may be asking yourself, "What websites pay Canadians to write online?" The answer to that question is actually a very positive one. There are many writing sites now open to people who live in Canada, and some even offer upfront pay.

In the online content writing business, you are your own boss. You write quality content articles, and you get paid either by residual ad-share revenue generated from the various activities of your readers, such as page views, clicks on advertisements, purchases made through advertising done on your web page and so forth.

The other method of payment is by straightforward, upfront pay. You write an article, chosen based on an available title, and submit it. Once accepted, you receive the money for the article you wrote.
