I found this site while exploring a list of websites that claim to pay freelance writers, and it stuck out to me enough that I wanted to dig a bit deeper into it.

Can you really make money writing for DoctorOfCredit.com, or is this just another dead-end website that asks for submissions without ever following up?

Making Money Writing For DoctorOfCredit.com

Before we delve into DoctorOfCredit.com too deeply, let’s talk a little bit about freelance writing.

I think a lot of freelance writers are fed up with the usual way things go down on websites that claim to hire freelance writers. On one hand, you have sites that ask for submissions, but never seem to respond or publish anything that isn’t written by their in-house team.

But on another note, it is also true that there are a lot of people out there who are trying to make money writing blogs, articles, and essays. So if you don’t stand out, there is a very good chance that you are just going to fall through the cracks.

I’m not sure if you have ever had to sift through 200 writer submission emails in one sitting, but it can be extremely exhausting! So I also have a soft spot for editors.

But with that being said, there is also something to be said for legitimate freelance writing opportunities. Yes, they are out there, but they can be difficult to find—which is exactly why I was interested in DoctorOfCredit.com.

You cannot expect to succeed as a freelancer if you don’t keep trying. If you face rejections and/or setbacks, keep it up. That is the game.

That is how these things go. I just wanted to you know that before we move on, because it can get discouraging as a writer to face rejection when you aren’t ready for it.

But if you are proactive, learn from your mistakes, and conquer your fear of rejection, you can make some pretty awesome side-hustle money writing freelance content online!

To save you the suspense, I can absolutely tell you that this site is looking for writers. But before we talk about that, let’s talk about the site itself.

The Basics: What Is DoctorOfCredit.com?

DoctorOfCredit.com is basically a personal finance website (Money Crashers is another example in the finance field). They publish content about credit cards, bank accounts, credit scores, and also list ‘deals’ that readers can make use of to save money on things that they may normally buy.

I was immediately interested in the quality of the content published on DoctorOfCredit.com, because I honestly wasn’t super impressed with the layout and design.

There really wasn’t anything ‘wrong’ with it… it just wasn’t very eye-catching to me. It was laid out like a very simple WordPress blog, but the layout was just a little bit strange, in my opinion.

But then again—this didn’t mean that the content wasn’t going to be good. And it didn’t mean that it wasn’t going to be a useful website. This was just an observation I had about the design.

As far as content was concerned, first I went to the Credit Card page. I have actually been shopping around for a better credit card, so this was of real, genuine interest to me.

The page I found was pretty much like an informational page about credit cards and sign-up bonuses, though they also had links to other content throughout the site. There was a lot of information here. The content was fine, though not necessarily mind blowing.

But then again… how ‘blown’ can you expect your mind to be while reading about credit cards?

I did learn some things, and the writers on the site seem to be pretty good. After reading through this, I went on to the Credit Scores page. My credit score is pretty good, but hey… it could always be a little better, right?

I read through some information here and actually learned quite a bit. The site does a pretty good job of explaining things, and their style is very to-the-point.

I feel like this could be a very useful site if you are looking for personal finance information related to either of these topics.

The page publishes content pretty regularly. I noticed that they seem to publish content about 3-5 times every day, which is actually a lot for a site like this!

I mean, some of them are not necessarily full-fledged articles. Some of these posts are more about ‘daily deals’ than anything. But still—the site stays updated, and that is a huge positive as far as I am concerned.

But what about writing for the site? Do they pay? Do they offer a good gig for freelance writers? These are the questions that I decided to dig into next.

Here is what I learned.

Writing For DoctorOfCredit.com

Finding the DoctorOfCredit.com ‘write for us’ page was actually pretty difficult. I actually had to go to Google and search “write for Doctor Of Credit” to get it to come up.

I am not totally sure if there is a link within the site that leads to this page… but if there is, I certainly wasn’t able to locate it.

Here is what the page actually looked like when I found it.

First of all, I learned that they do pay writers here. I also learned that you can pitch either entire articles or ideas for articles, but they make it a point to say that they are much more likely to accept an article that has already been written and formatted correctly than an article that hasn’t been.

They also say that they currently have two excellent staff writers who write most of their content, but that they would ‘love to get more people writing’ for the site.

By the sound of it, they are also open to having regular contributors, and they pay out quite a bit. They say that they currently pay $50 per guest post, and that they pay a flat rate per-article to regular contributors, though this obviously fluctuates with the length of the article and with how difficult it would be to put together.

They make it a point to say that you will not be able to quit your day job to write for them—but they also say that you can make some pretty sweet extra money on the site.

And hey, that’s what I’m looking for. I’m on the lookout for freelance writing side-hustles!

But there are some restrictions. As a general rule, the site is mostly looking for…

• Lawyers or people from a legal background
• Manufactured Spenders
• Unique Credit Card Finders

The content on this site is also obviously pretty technical. Financial issues generally are, because they are topics that deal with hard numbers, percentages, and credit scores. There is very little room for ‘opinion based writing’ where finances are concerned.

There are obviously better deals and worse deals, and it is generally the job of the finance writer to do their due diligence so that they can educate the reader correctly.

With that being said, they also make a note at the bottom of the page that says anyone is welcome to submit an article on any topic that they feel would be relevant. So even if you do not fit into one of the above categories, you could still have a shot at getting published!

My Personal Feelings About Writing For DoctorOfCredit.com

DoctorsOfCredit.com is not a bad site at all. At first I was skeptical of it because the design was just a little bit weird to me. But as I read through more of the content and figured out that the people who write for it legitimately seem to know what they are doing, I developed a lot more respect for it.

Financial issues are kind of hard to write about, especially if you do not know much about them! Personally, I have written a lot about personal finance, budgeting, living a minimalist lifestyle, making smart spending decisions every day, etc.

I haven’t written much about loans, credit cards, mortgages, or credit scores because, to be super honest, my knowledge about them is not nearly as sharp as it would need to be to write about the topic from a position of authority.

So personally, I probably won’t pitch to this site—but I do encourage anyone with a background or knowledge on these issues to give it a shot, because this site legitimately seems to be run by good people, and I feel like you could make some pretty decent money writing for them… especially if you got on as a regular contributor.

Regular contributor gigs are the magic bullet for writers. They are not the ‘get rich’ gig, but they are a stepping stone to getting your name out there and building up a quality portfolio for yourself.

If you are interested in financial topics and would like to give it a shot, I would encourage you to pitch to DoctorOfCredit.com. You may not get rich doing so, but landing a deal with them could get your name on a pretty popular financial site—and that is nothing to scoff at!
