So, recently I started a discussion similar to this, but now is now. I've joined Triond and expertscolumn, but earnings are slow. Then I discovered Textbroker, and it seemed pretty good. BAM! Only Americans can join. I search the web. Find another good site called Demand Media. BAM! Only Americans can join, again. Is there any site that pays up front for articles AND Canadians can join? Also, don't just post 'I haven't heard of these sites, If I find one I'll tell you!' and that sort of stuff. I really want answers, not spam. Thanks, and have a good day!

My answer is Factoidz.Try to sign up under a member who is already a writer that Factoidz.That saves you the review process by submitting your article for their scanning.You can start publishing directly if you sign up under a writer.If not you will have to apply for a writer's post and submit an article of yours for review and after few days they will let you know if they have accepted you into the community or not.They demand high quality articles for users to be accepted so the first method of joining would be a safer option.
Factoidz pays you up front per article.It is open to international members and not just restricted to the US.For my first article that got published I earned an activity bonus of 10 cents and they paid it on the 1st of this month to my Paypal account.(Payments are through Paypal and you will get paid on the 1st of each month as long as you have earned more than $0.01).Thereafter your articles will earn for the views they generate so use at least two SEO words in the title of your article.
Factoidz demands fact-based,knowledge-based high quality articles and if you write well,you will do really well here.In fact I have noticed that they are promoting my article even when I am not doing it.Someone told me in one of my discussions on that they do the promotion pat themselves.
Not only for articles,you earn more than $10 for writing product reviews and product comparison reports (comparing two or more products).Each review or comparison report that gets approve will fetch you more than $10.The site demands excellence and compensates adequately.Hope you will find success with this site.

The one site i use daily and all week long is going to be Associated Content also known as Yahoo Contributor. They have upfront payments and then you get paid for your page views as well. I have used this site for along time now and i really like it alot and get upfront payments weekly as i submit articles through out the week. Hopefully they do take canadians but i am not sure but goodluck and check it out.

I am Brazilian and I live in Brazil. I had tried to enter on Yahoo Contributor, but I saw their rules and you need to be a USA citizen or legally live there to be paid.

I was going to tell you that Factzoid is a good site. I also like Associated Content but I believe that they only pay upfront for the writers from the US. However, I do believe that anyone can join that site for page views money. I do well there with the page views as well as my writing.

Hi Viner, try Helium then.
Helium is a very reputable site but has stringent requirements for accepting articles.
You earn a combination of upfront and passive income.
If you are lucky, some publishers will buy your content for publishing in their magazines, and you will get a five dollars stock content bonus.
Your original article will still continue to earn online.

Recently I started to search for a site to earn money by writing texts too. But I live in Brazil and here this kind of site is not so commom, so I am having a lot of trouble to find a good one. I will utilize your post to let a message to other, to tell me a good site in Brazil where I can write texts and earn money too
