Suite 101?

There are sites that require you to fill out an application, or at least submit some of your writing. Suite101 does both. You can write on whatever you want, but it's generally best to stick with the topics that you listed on your application, at least to start with. The suite encourages people to become known for in-depth articles about their subjects, so if you scatter yourself all over the place, the way you can do on Associated Content, you might not get the page views that are necessary for making a decent amount of money. Another advantage of sticking with one or two topics is that there are additional financial and other benefits once you have a good backlog of articles. I don't remember how the page view rates work exactly, but I do know that the percentage you get will go up if you become a specialist (don't remember their term) in one area.

I've been writing for them for a little over 2 years. I'm very happy with them. Even though I'm a Feature Writer for one section, I write articles on any topic that suits my fancy. Here's my Suite 101 review along with feedback from other Suite writers: http://www.nojobformom.com/2008/03/10/earn-internet-income-freelance-writing-for-suite101com/ Just recently one writer earned just shy of $5,000 for one month. I think you should give it a try.
