what are the best paid to post sites for articles?

Since you're a US citizen, you have more opportunities to get paid for writing. Associated Content offers very reasonable upfront payment for content. I also have written an article about How Do Writers Get Paid For Writing Online. If you wish to read my article, this is the link: http://www.bukisa.com/art... can also get writing assignments from eLance.com and constant-content.com. Just google them and you'll find the link. Good Luck with writing.

If you want upfront payments check out associated content. However, I have found that Helium has higher residual amounts. Although, you have to maintain a rating star. Those are just two you can look into.

I’ve been slowly compiling a database of freelance writing sites.

The database is not complete, but I have at least 25 freelance writing sites listed. Some of them pay through residual earnings and others pay up front.

If you’re interested, the database is located here: http://www.nojobformom.co... you have to do is select the type of resource, i.e, Writing Sites, and click search.

I update the database as time permits. I also give my opinions and share my experience on those sites that I've actually used.

Writing has been one of my favorite hobbies since my student days. I still enjoy writing very much, though I could not devote much time to it these days, with my full time job taking most of the hours each day. Here is one site where I have been writing stories: work-online.org.uk This is a UK site. One can write short stories, and when accepted, get paid. I have been with this site for a few months now, and I am very happy with it.

I have been writing for content sites for three years now and earn decent money. There are a few good sites to check out. Associated Content pays upfronts on most articles and they also give you a monthly bonus for page views. Demand Studios pays $5 to $15 per article but they have become more strict than they were when I first started a year ago. You have to fill out an application and submit a resume to get hired through them but once you do and they accept your writing, the money is good. These are my two best sites I write for.

There is also ehow.com, bukisa, helium, triond, suite 101, ecopywriters, and textbroker. Ecopywriters and textbroker pay you a flat fee and ehow, bukisa, helium, suite 101 and triond pay for page views only. Oh and there is also Bright Hub which pays $10 per article but I don't know much about them because I don't write for them. I got accepted but haven't started yet.

Good luck and I hope you find the sites you like!:)
