Are you a savvy list writer? Did you know that some websites will pay you to write lists?
No, not your shopping list or your daily to-do list.
Could you write lists about interesting events, mysterious happenings, or weird, strange events that have taken place?
Are you a sports buff, ready to write Top 10 about cricket or soccer?
