Which sites are your favorite to write at and get paid, aside from MyLot of course!
I like Associated Content and Bukisa, although Bukisa can be slow and they don't seem to pay as well. eHow is another good one, and the articles are pretty easy and quick to write as long as you know what you're talking about... Also, the pay there seems pretty good.
There are a few others I am testing at this moment and will report back in a few weeks. Please share your faves! Thanks.

I belong to "Review Stream". I joined the site over a year ago. I like it very much. One can write reviews about a variety of topics, things one comes across in the day-to-day activities, shopping, movies, hotels, restaurants, media, etc., anf get paid when accepeted and approved. I have been getting paid regularly. I belong to eHow too, but have not been active there for a while now.

I'm with AC, you knew that. I also write music reviews for Roughedge.com Its a music website but I don't get paid for it, I get free music though. Anybody who wants to write for them send me a PM and I'll give you the information. I also write for Need An Article, its ghostwriting and it pays really well. I've never written for eHow, is it worth it?

Yes if you can get a decent amount of followers I think it pays well, but it's only for page views. Minimum payout is $10. I only write about an article a week there, sometimes more or less, and I earn about $5 a month. I am sure if I wrote more and tried to get more friends there the earnings would drastically increase.
Obviously since it's called eHow, it's a site where people write How To's, Guides, etc. Check it out, doesn't hurt to look. ... Best wishes!

Correction, when I earned $5 in the one month, I had posted about 5-6 articles from my AC and already had a few published as well. I also commented on other people's articles and they returned the favor by doing the same for mine.

I'm at Xanga and Bloggers but not a paying site, though in bloggers there are affiliate sites that pay. Am not as active with them as in mylot as it's quite easier to earn here, though before I don't mind earnings, am just happy blogging.

I have started out writing for Associated Content and has been a member until now. I haven't really ventured out into other writing sites and have just learned about new writing opportunities on the web through discussions here in mylot. And just this weekend, I created an account at Helium and hopes to generate lots of income in there.

I write reviews on dooyoo and ciao and have written close to 500 reviews. It's a really good way to earn some money and improve your typing skills.

I am on a few sites. I of course do MyLot...lol. I also do Gather and RedGage. Other than that I do not do any. What is Bukisa? I tried associated content along time ago and couldn't get the hang of it.

MyLot is, of course, my favorite. But I just signed up to a couple others but haven't had the time to actually do anything with them yet. I like the idea of videos, but hate the way I look and sound. Ha! Someday I will find a way to earn a living on here!;-)

I belong to myLot (of course), blogit, 100 words, and postparker. I used to belong to the Secret Attic but they closed. Ezihippo also closed. I'm thinking of joining Ladder Writers but I'm having a problem subscribing to that.

I love Ehow, it's easy to use, and I like the template they have, that makes it easy to write your article. I get money from them from time to time, which makes it nice, lol.

Well the only paid for writing website I use is mylot but that's only because I don't really know of any other good writing for money websites. If anyone has any good ones and would like to get another referral go ahead and send me some links or something.

I submit all my writing to Constant Content because I can set the payment rate at the amount I think the articles are worth. I won't waste my time on Associated Content or Bukisa - the pay is too pathetically low. I only hang out on mylot for the social interaction - once again the pay is too pathetic to make mylot a serious 'writing' venue.

Correction, when not taking into account the up-front payment Bukisa pays more. The difference between Bukisa and associated content is that the latter is a genuine American company and Bukisa is an Israeli company I have my doubts on. If they catch you cheating they might not remove your articles but void your payment and thus violating your copyright. This happened to me and I told them that they either withdraw their allegation and pay me or that they would be liable to pay me a compensation for the breached copyrights. The latter would be more expensive of course. They are really sluggish upon reacting, in my case it takes them an average 72 hours to react, something which is really unacceptable.

I belong to Associated Content, Viewpoints, MyLot (of course), Review Stream, Shoong, Triond, Pickjack, Shared Reviews, Bukisa, Squidoo...I think that is all of them. I like to write so I do my best to all of these....I like Associated Content and Viewpoints the most. I am interested also in sites that pay well or at least like AC.

I enjoy doing the tasks on mylot. How do these other sites work? Do they give you a topic or can you just pick your own?

My favourite writing site, apart from Mylot, is Helium. It's taken a while to build up a reasonable earning level, but I'm getting there, and Helium allow you to post the same content on other sites, so I usually copy my Helium articles to Bukisa, although the pay isn't so good.

I just started writing on AC. If anyone wants a friend on there add me. I also use Helium, which is just Ok as of now and textbroker, which used to be awesome, but lately has been terrible.
