    Yes DailyArticles.com request center was also great but for some reason they let it go and now it's up to the brim with spam. I sold 100s of USD worth of content there some months ago.... but had a bad time when I put up things in the open market . I guess I am just a bit too impatient and can't wait weeks or months to get my articles picked up.

    Any suggestions which article topics fare better over there?

    I had had good success with technical and medical-related content (believe I can write very good in this niche).

    And to show it's now a fluke, some more requests from Constant Content:

    Website Content 2010-07-05 2010-07-12 maljaff $100-150
    Dog Care Articles 2010-07-07 2010-07-21 mooredesigns $30-40

    And for small 400 word articles this one might be of interest to some:

    So, who is going to help these content buyers in a pinch out? :D

    Not me, no time, so it is up to YOU!

    I have recently applied for writing at brighthub and my application was approved. Since then I have published 2 articles. Although the pay isn't much, i.e. $10 per article, the editors help us a lot.

    Hmm, interesting website. Do you still get ads revenue sharing after getting paid for the article?

    I've come across a site called suite101.com in the past -I signed up there a good six months ago but I haven't yet had time to see if it's any good. I've been told by some people that it is. So, no endorsement, but maybe one to have a look at?

    @Kraven: Please compile the list in two sections. One for sites that accept content from all countries and one for sites that accepts articles from US citizens only (like Suite101). Need some help on CC, I have by mistake opted out of their email feed. How to reset it? Finally Constant Content (CC) deducts 35% of the fees quoted.

    Well I think Suite 101 also allows UK citizens, because I had no problems signing up there and I live in the UK. I don't know about any other countries though. 35 percent sounds like quite a chunk for CC to take, but there-again, if the difference between prices there than here is so great, I would say that it is a small price to pay!

    You need to read the Return to Slavery Thread and then head on over to here. It is not hard to find good paying jobs you just need to know how to be worth more.

    as a matter of fact, you do. nearly three fourths of anything your article makes. with a large enough portfolio, you could be enjoying passive income for years to come.

    CC never took 35% of my sales. 10% was the most I paid them for handling the transactions.

    Also dividing it up in two lists, will be easy to do once the list is long enough. At the moment its fine in one section :)

    I believe you are talking about BrightHub, I looked up the site and what I see while I started signing up were 3 kinds of income streams. Would you care to elaborate which ones provide : direct payment + revenue income?

    the channel writers. unlike the other category, you have to apply for the position, choosing an area of specialty. once they accept you, you will be placed under a managing editor. there will a substantial amount of training materials to go through, following which, you pick up a story angle from the group board after consultation with the ME. the first month, you'll be limited to three articles. the ME and the Contributing Editor will monitor you closely against an internal set of guidelines and SOP's. After that, you're relatively free to write as you wish within the prescribed parameters.

    It's strange. I quote their FAQ:

    How does Constant Content Make Money?
    Constant Content takes 35% of the total sale of each article and the author receives 65%.
