Which web content websites offer incentives for their contributors?

I used to belong to Examiner as a food writer but for me, the incentives were better than the pay. There was a shopper club I joined through them that offered discounts at Target and gourmet food items (they had other stuff but this is what I bought the most). Every time I submitted an article, i would gain points toward my purchase. If I wrote a review on the product I bought, I got even more points. I even snagged some 50% off coupons from Restaurant.com. Also, marketing companies contacted me directly to do write-ups for their clients. I belong to Bzz now but liked receiving samples as it did make things a little easier for dinner. This went on for a long time until I got an account rep that was really pushy about write-ups but slow to send over the incentives. Another person that contacted me directly wanted for me to pay admission to her live demo. That was too bad because it was near my home but she wanted the whole PR package (I'm a marketing major) at no cost to her. So which ones can offer me more than Google Adsense revenue? Personal experiences, please.

Do you mean buxzzonlinetoday? I saw an add where they are hiring writers... For some people,the incentives are reaosn enough for them to stay or continue with their work. It just depends on how much incentive is given and how you do with it.

Hey jswindell, I have not done any work for Examiner or Buzz or other incentive sites as yet, so I cannot comment to that. I'm grateful you posted this, so that I could learn of your experiences, though. Best wishes! :-)
