Listverse was built on the efforts of readers just like you. Readers who didn’t have any experience as writers but decided to put a list together and send it in.
They will pay you $100 for your efforts. You don’t need to be an expert—you just need to have English equal to that of a native speaker, a sense of humor, and a love for things unusual or interesting.
How does it work?
You write your list (10 items per list minimum), you send it in, they reply and say “OK” and send you $100 by PayPal; or they reply and say “Sorry—it isn’t the sort of thing our readers will love—give it another shot.” Just remember, your list should be at least one or two paragraphs per entry.

The Rules:
The rules are really pretty simple. As long as your list (and don’t steal other people’s stuff) is one or two paragraphs per item you can choose any topic you like. They also need you to link to reputable sources so they can verify the facts of what you’re saying. Just remember—if it’s good enough to publish (by our standards) you get 100 bucks—simple as that.
To help you out with some ideas, the lists that their readers love the most (and the ones they will most likely pay for) are lists that are offbeat and novel—lists that are looking at something normal in an unexpected way (ways college makes you dumb, for example), unsolved mysteries, hidden knowledge (things most people don’t know), misconceptions, and just really astonishing general knowledge about anything—science, for example. What they don’t want to see
And if you have a blog, a Twitter account, or a book you want to promote, mention it in the submissions form and they will stick it at the bottom of your list.
