If you want to get paid to write for Cracked, you can. Right now. No experience necessary, just click here, read it and then scroll to the bottom and click the "Go to Writer's Workshop" button. It takes seconds, it costs you nothing and no one is turned away. Upon clicking that, you will be magically transported to the Cracked Workshop forum where people submit articles.

If that doesn't convince you, let me share a story:

I never graduated from college. I went for less than a semester and dropped out for a variety of reasons. When I turned in the slip to drop the English class I'd been taking, the professor told me, "Whatever you do in life, make sure it involves writing." And with that, I embarked on a five-year career in fast food that peaked with an assistant managership at a McDonald's inside a Walmart, which is sort of like working inside a Doritos Locos Taco.
I finally broke free from the rigors of restaurants and settled into a life of taking customer service phone calls and processing medical claims at a health insurance company, an employment path that spanned more than 10 years of my life. I'd resigned myself to the fact that I'd probably work some variation of that same tedious desk job for the remainder of my days when, on Thanksgiving Day in 2007, I read this call for writers on Cracked, just like you're doing now.

Assuming that nothing more than maybe a small check would come of it, I signed up to write for Cracked. Barely two weeks later, the first thing I'd been paid to write since back when I used to sell book reports in high school was on the front page of the site. Over the course of the next year, I wrote more than 20 articles for Cracked. In less time than it took me to get a $1/hour raise at my day job, I'd amassed a writing resume that included several articles that had been viewed more than a million times each.

so if anyone here has writing skills and is funny try this place maybe you can make a article the top 10 Kansas City Chief fails of 2012

I believe this is the first case of unintentional thread spam creation!

Unformatted URL as thread title - check
No introduction as to purpose of thread given the lack of thread title - check
Article about making money writing for cracked - check
Closing statement that appears to add value to discussion - check

Full criteria met for spam. Yet we all know Dan is not a spammer! Thus unintentional spam.

http://www.cracked.com/write-for-cracked/
no i dont work for them you write a article submit it to the editors they either say yah or nay .
and submit your whatever hopefully a article on how much the chiefs suck.
as long as it is funny of course , but the question is can any of you write a article thats funny. also spam is when you repeat the same thing over and over and over and over again or if its a con scam what have you right
