myLot is a hub of excellent and skilled writers communicating with each other, and I have witnessed it myself. I have an opportunity for these writers looking for some extra bucks along with myLot.
Try your hands on Looking for Clues. Here, you can submit them an article, or a review, or a tutorial and if they like it, they will buy it for 10-30$. For more information about article formatting, length and submission, visit www.lookingforclues.com and also if you want more chances for your article getting published, just mention in the submission you send them, that you came to know about this site through "AJ-Rox" or "Abhay Sharma". This way, they will give more priority to you since I have already got 2 of my articles published.
Please, please mention my name there for telling you this site. Check it out now.

Thank you for pointing out this site. I have had a brief look at it and feel that it is worth noting that they are, as I would have expected at the price, (which they claim as between $10 and $25, not $30, as you stated) buying sole online rights.
They don't preclude you selling the article to offline publications but they are insistent that the same article should not be published anywhere else on the Internet, either before or after. They do, of course, encourage one to link to the article in a website or blog.
I notice, too, that you MUST be over 18 and that you MUST have a Premier or Business PayPal account (not a Personal account).
I am not pointing these out as disadvantages. They should be acceptable to anyone prepared to use the service.
Anyone considering writing for them would be well advised to read a number of articles that they have already published and also to fully accept their terms - and be aware of what they imply. I would strongly advise reading the entire FAQ page and the Terms and Conditions before even considering writing for them. I have seen too many people expressing dissatisfaction with article and review sites simply because they did not read the TOS carefully beforehand!
This site appears to pay a reasonable amount for 800-1600 word articles and, as a result, I would expect their standards to be somewhat more exacting than other sites. The payment appears to be a one-off payment rather than an ongoing one based on page views and user voting. It is debatable whether an article on Triond or Helium might not, over time, earn more than the $10 - $25 you might get for it on LFC.
Those interested in writing for a living might like to visit the blog of another member here, which has a great deal of sound advice on writing for profit. (Note that I have no vested interest other than admiration for a good blog!): http://ravens-writing.blogspot.com

Don't worry, they are not a scam.
I have been paid twice, 10$ each time. So I have earned 20$ from them.
