Who’s sick of dealing with a boss? I know I am. But bosses
aren’t the only types of people I can get sick of. Sometimes I’m really fed up
with publishers, editors and clients. They’re always telling me how I should
write my articles and they always expect me to write a certain number of
articles by a certain deadline. I’d just like to write sometimes, but I only
have so much time in a day and I have to worry about paying my bills. I really
wish there was an easier way to make money without waiting for my blog to
finally take off. So I decided to try a bunch of user-generated sites to see
which ones are the best.

Helium:

This website allows you to submit articles to their
marketplace. Sometimes, submissions can command payments of $100, which is
great for 600 word articles. But the problem is that you have to write an
article that only has a 1 in 18 or so chance of getting accepted. Eighteen
other writers are competing with you over the payment. If your article ends up
not being the one chosen, you get a nice message that tells you that your
article is transitioning to Helium. This means that you will start earning
performance payments for your article. But you have to maintain a certain
rating in order to earn any money at all. Since you are not likely to get very
many pageviews in the first place, your chances of coming away from Helium with
any income at all.

Constant-content:

This site works differently from other sites. No upfront
payment. No performance payments. Instead, you basically set your articles out
like you were at a garage sale. Then you sit and wait forever for your articles
to be bought. Oftentimes, they never are. Why waste your time?

Associated Content:

Associated Content seems like a great website. They offer
you $2-10 for your hard work. You also earn performance payments on top of
that. This seems like such a wonderful deal, yet you’re usually lucky to get
even $3 from an article. Associated content is very picky about which articles
they accept for an upfront payment and the performance payments are almost
outrageously small. You’re likely to make more money doing surveys at the mall.

Ninebean

Ninebean is relatively straightforward with payments.
Instead of deciding what your article is worth with upfront payments, , like brighthub.
