Make Money From Writing Short Filler Paragraphs

Most newspapers and magazines buy short filler paragraphs. It's a very easy way to get started - especially if you have no previous experience. Although they need a bit more thought they're usually much easier to sell than letters to the editor because editors are often short of filler material and, unlike letters, don't get as many submissions.

Fillers are called fillers because, on a newspaper or magazine page, white space is a no-no. Fillers neatly fill in the gaps between ads., or when an article or news story turns out to be shorter than anticipated. Fillers can vary in size. A short filler paragraph can be anything from 20 words up to a hundred or so - almost a mini-article.

A good starting point is to study your favourite newspapers and magazines. Look at the news stories, articles and features they run. Although it's not absolutely essential the most sellable fillers tie in neatly with the news stories, articles and features that appear alongside. So these are the subjects you should be writing for. Look for material on these subjects. An easy way is to do this is to Google them. Pick out a few interesting nuggets from the stories you read online and write them into a filler.

Good tip. Does the newspaper or magazine in question use humorous fillers, facts and figures or quotations? If so, these make excellent and easy filler material!

Because short fillers are short you can afford to write some and send them off 'on spec'. Little is lost if they don't get bought. Put a collection of short filler paragraphs together. Send them to the publication's editor and ask if they're interested.

One more important tip - short filler paragraphs need to be evergreen. Something that can be slotted in anywhere or anytime. So, unlike letters and articles, don't make them too specific or too topical.
