legitimate writing jobs?

You should try associatedcontent. They pay you anywhere from three to twenty dollars per article you submit(if its accepted and many are) and pay you a dollar fifty for every thousand people that view your articles. I have been paid many times by this site. You can check out payment proof in my blog, the link is in my profile. I hope this helps and have a great day!

If you check out the blog link in my profile under the picture, then look to the right and scroll down a bit until you hit the section "different ways to make money online" and within that you'll find a link how you can make money writing articles. Generally the pay range is like. Anywhere from $5-$50 for low-end writing opprotunities and about $300-$400+ per high-end opportunities(if you don't believe me do something as simple as call up a popular magazine or some other type of media outlet and be suprised at what they pay for individual articles.). These figures are all based on individual article submissions. Either way g'luck to you and hopefully they help. Some of the sites listed on there are databases full of writing opprotunities.
