I am currently researching this site. I haven't heard of it before. I typically will research a company before I go any further.
There are a couple of them out there that work very well. Have you ever tried Associated Content. This is a good one. You can write about anything, if they find your articles interesting an in topics that can and will sell, they will buy them from you. The prices do vary.
I have made probably 20-30 from them in the past month on articles that I have written. Not much but, it is a beginning.

I have tried associated content befor. I however do not really prefer it. I like sites that are a little more structured that basically say what they need, not just that they want to buy interesting articles. I mean everyone has a different idea of what interesting is. Also I wanted to know if you can repost an article somewhere else if ac doesnt buy it? I just can't seem to get over the fact that something that I've spent time on would go to waste if they didnt find them interesting. I've heard that several sites do allow that but I am just not sure. What are your fav ones Chulce?

Hmm that seems interesting though they only buy articles from you if the articles are interesting? That might work or might not. Though 20-30 is a good amount for a month. I'm just wondering how many articles you sent them and what do they want for an "interesting" article? I might try out this site and check it out.

Yes, you can re-post your article if AC doesn't buys it. They don't hold you on what you publish there, if they don't buy it.
Also, they do give some article ideas that they may be looking for. You can read through their needs for the particular articles that they want and submit one of those topics.
There is a section here in mylot, about AC check out what others have to say.

Okay no wonder I couldn't find it. It is one of those that you have to pay for. I think I tried taking a look at it and then got slapped with, oh by the way you are going to have to pay x amount. That's when I decided, nope, not gonna happen.
So, sorry to say, but this is one that I decided against.
Good luck with your search.

One of the best pieces of advice I received when I started as a freelance writer was to keep the fund flowing in your direction. Payment for research (magazine subscriptions, books to improve technique, tools to build your business, a copy of Writers Market, etc.) and other things like that are one thing, but paying to work is another. So, I avoid sites like this one like the plague. There are SO many job boards available for free - freelancewritinggig.com, journalismjobs.com, freelancewriting.com, mediabistro.com, sunoasis.com, poewar.com - that paying to find work really isn't a necessity.
