For those of you who get paid to write, where do you do it and what is the average amount you make per project or piece? I already write for HubPages, Helium, Helium Marketplace and Associated Content. I am looking for someplace that pays a bit better. The Helium Marketplace has made me over $200 for 4 articles but lately their prices have dropped big time and AC never gives me over $4 an article. HubPages uses my AdSense and Amazon Associate accounts to earn me money but it's not much. Any ideas on sites that pay well to writers?

I haven't tried Helium. I signed up and looked around but never submitted anything.
I have written 4 articles for Associated Content but have never been paid over $5 for an article.
I have recently started writing for Review Stream but I am not sure I like it yet, the minimum payout is high and I haven't personally heard anyone that has been paid yet. I am sure there are, I just haven't heard much about the site.
I have a site bookmarked called Daytipper, I haven't had the chance to look at it much but when I first came across it, it looked interesting.
Other than Mylot, ReviewStream and Associated Content I haven't really written anywhere else. I am not looking to make a living doing it, just a little spending cash, so I tend to wait and write about things that I know rather than spending hours on research for a small amount of money.

I'll take a look at those other two, thanks. I've basically given up on AC, I had almost $2.00 in page views to be paid this month and all of a sudden it was gone and I was down to $0 but they never paid the $2. It's only $2 but I thought that was really shaddy business.

Well I am making money blogging and writing for the websites you have already tried. I also write for ehow, howtodothings.com, shared reviews, review stream, and squidoo. As well as Triond which was mentioned by someone else. No one pays a lot for articles on the web, especially if you are looking for upfront payment. However, if you are looking to build a good source of passive income, all of these can do that. It takes time, perserverence, and of course a lot of writing.

I blog as well and earn a bit but not even enough for payout anywhere yet. I like HubPages and Helium for passive income but I agree it does take time and a lot of writing. Thanks for the tip.

I write for Triond. I made $356 in my best month, so I believe that is way more effective than any of your guys publishers. Keep in mind I made about $320 of that on my best 5 articles.

It depends if you just want to write about what you want to write about or if you want to write on assignment. I have a few projects that I got through oDesk. Here is a referral:
