Well, there is Associated Content. You write articles on any subject and submit them. Some they accept, if they accept it they pay you. I made 3.50 on a little editorial I wrote about cell phones that took five minutes to write. Then I wrote this really in depth article about care of hermit crabs and they only paid me two dollars, which ticked me off. But I heard you can make twenty dollars an article, or so, if you write about the right subject matter.
There are sites that pay you if you write reviews, like reviewsstream and epinions. Then there is Helium, which pays for each article depending on a complex system where you have to rank above other writers. I make some money there, but mostly I do it for fun and to improve my writing skills.
Alternatively, you can always go to Borders and get the Writer's Market giant book and start sending stuff out to magazines. Competition is fierce but a lot of them pay very well.
