My friend told me to write articles in a site named iWriter . I had a visit on this site and observed some features . The site admin says that it would pay the members within 48 hours and to my surprise i have found there are many articles request. How can we believe the site? Shall i be able to cash out of this site as they say. The limited amount is 20$ which can be withdrawn on weekly basis. Please go through and let me know your feedback

I tried to write articles for this site and I tried to reach the minimum of $20, just waited for my 1st week to see if the payment will be made. Yes they transferred the money to my paypal account exactly one week after I joined. Now I really am enjoying writing articles and still looking for other legit sites that I can work for...Do you know any other sites like iwriter?

iWriter is a site which, basically, connects people who want articles written with those prepared to write them (at a rather low rate). The site itself sets the price according to the length of the article required (there are only three options available - 300, 500 and 700 words) and the payments are very much lower than a professional article writer should expect.
Whatever the length of the article, you are expected to deliver it within 2 hours of accepting the task and it is also expected to be of good quality (with a good standard of English grammar, punctuation and spelling) and should pass Copyscape's definition of 'originality'.
I would expect the site to pay as it says it does: like MyLot Tasks, it requires people requesting articles to deposit enough to cover the payments before setting the tasks. However, requesters are at liberty to refuse articles which do not meet their standards and this means, in effect, that articles may be rejected for any (or no) reason at all. The only protection for writers is that the task setter may read the article online but cannot download it unless it is accepted. How good that protection is against the misappropriation of one's property would need to be tested.

I answered this on your other thread about iWriter: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2570511.aspx
Like I said there, it looks like an article mill: low pay for work that should earn more, but if you don't mind earning around (or less than) $2 an article, it looks fine. I see no reason for it to be fake, though I could easily be wrong since there's no way I'll write for so little (and therefore am not a member).
