People love to read lists, and writers like to make lists. I make plenty of them here! It's a win-win because they are easy to write, and they are also easy to read. Because lists are so popular, there are websites that only post lists.
So for today's post, I've created a list (go figure) of sites that pay you to make lists for them! 🙂
1 – Listverse – $100 per list
This is one of the highest-paying and most known sites that will pay you to make lists.
You can earn $100 for an accepted list.
The list must be at least 1500 words with a minimum of ten items on your list.
Listverse will also link to your blog, Twitter, or an eBook you want to promote if you have it.

2 – Cracked – $100 to $250 per article or list
Cracked accepts lists as well as other types of content, but it says plainly on their website that the list-style articles are always some of their most popular.
They make no secret about being extremely picky when it comes to what they choose to publish, but the pay is great if you're lucky enough to get your content published.
Cracked is not a site we've reviewed for writers (although we probably should), but I did find some great info here on Reddit about how the process of writing for them works.
3 – Wonderslist – Lists of 10 Items
You can submit lists of at least 10 items, containing at least 1500 words, to Wonderslist.
Each list can include your byline so even though they pay next to nothing, you will get credit for your work. And this is something you can use in your writing portfolio if you are attempting to get future writing work.
Payments are via Paypal or Payoneer.
4 – Android Authority – “Best of” List Writers
Android Authority usually has openings for freelance evergreen writers to create lots of different content, including “best of” lists.
Most of the content you write would center around smartphones and Android apps. You can work from anywhere.
Hours are flexible, but there are tight deadlines to meet.
Rate of pay not listed.

5 – Valnet Freelance – List Article Writers
Valnet Freelance is looking for many remote list article writers. They are looking for people in the US and also Canada to do this.
Currently, they need list article writers who can write about video games, movies, and TV.
The number of articles you're expected to contribute each month varies depending on the topic you are hired to write about.
To be considered, you must provide writing samples.

Looking For Even More Legit Writing Jobs?
FlexJobs is one of my favorite sites to use for finding remote jobs and learning about new companies that hire remotely.
Most of what I see there when I check the listings pays well above minimum wage and are known companies.
The great thing about FlexJobs is that they guarantee ALL listings are scam-free. They list hundreds of jobs — all of which are either remote or flexible in nature — five days per week.
There are also no ads on the site!
Because there are no ads, they do charge a membership fee since that is the only way they can see a return on their job-searching efforts.
But it's cheap — you can get access for a few weeks for just $2.95 for 14 full days!
If you sign up and don't like it, it's very easy to cancel right away so you are not billed again. You can do it any point during your 14 days of checking things out.
Go here to check out FlexJobs.
Good luck to you!
