Amalgam (chemistry) An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with another metal. Almost all metals can form amalgams with mercury, the notable exceptions being iron, platinum, tungsten, and tantalum. Silver-mercury amalgams are important in dentistry, and gold-mercury amalgam is used in the extraction of gold from ore.
So, if you are a freelance writer who want to make money writing but is tired of low-paying writing gigs, then here is a collection of websites that are paying up to $300 (or sometimes more) for your articles and blog posts.
If you aspire to create a higher quality of blog, then paying more while you're still small will attract better writers. The rates I've paid on a professional site are probably equivalent to $40US per short article, $50-60 for long articles, and a retainer of $400-500 a week for 15 articles.
