I'm quite happy with iWriter. The payouts are not high, but it is possible to invest your time and earn more. In the beginning 400-word articles bring you $2.03 and 500 $2.43 but once you spend some time writing good articles and reach 30 written articles with average rating of at least 4.1/5 you will be paid double and if you reach 4.6/5 it will double again. Meaning that it will be possible to get over $20 for a 1000-word article if you have invested into building a great profile.
If it's interesting I'd be happy if I could refer you to sign up [can't put the link here, unfortunately]
Once you'll have written a few articles you can also activate your own affiliate link to recommend to your friends and therefore get a small bonus on each article they write. Naturally, it's not the writer's part, but the website's part which gets distributed, so no worries.
There are no minimum payouts and money will be available on your account the moment the article gets accepted, the requesters have time limit of 72h to assess your work, so that's the longest it can take.
I signed up only a few days ago and I like the site a lot. I've written 5 short 400-500 word articles, whereas one was rejected. This still means $10 revenue on few hours of work, which compared to websites where you have to rely on traffic to earn, is really quite a lot.
At any given time there seems to be available about 10-25 Elite tier articles which are the best paid, over 150 Premium tier articles which still pay pretty good - over $4 for 500 word articles which talented writers can easily finish in 30 minutes and a ton of Standard tier articles to quickly get your reviews.
The only downside is that in the beginning you can churn out articles only every 40 minutes! So if you'd like to spend some time I suggest you write an article, hit Send and then during the 40 minutes, you pick out one or two interesting titles, have a look at the special requirements and do the needed research. When the 40 minutes are up you can then write the article in no time. Try not to use Word and write the article wholly on their website - doing otherwise might introduce broken characters to the article and it might be rejected more easily and you'll be sure to get a lower review.
One idea - every writer will get their articles rejected every once in a while - for me that's not a catastrophe. As I only choose subjects which are remotely interesting for me I will turn the rejected articles into Hubs.
Thank you for sharing this site, I will check into it... *cheers*

So what's happening here?I'm guessing that various web publishers have suddenly realized how much money is to be made through writers. Make no mistake, they wouldn't be putting up these websites or offereing money (and when people are offering $25,000 prizes), there's money in it for them.I also...

How much is reasonable for a freelance writer to be paid per word?I'm applying to a Craigslist ad, and it asks how much I want per word. Anyone know the going rate?

The Medium platform sounds great. Writers' income does not come from advertising (yay!) but from a chunk of the membership fees. But here is the catch: As a non paid up member you are only allowed to read three articles per month for free. After that, if you are interested in a topic and want...

I understand there's no reason to submit new articles to niche sites because staff get to those first, but I'm debating whether to go through my old articles to submit them. Is this something anyone here does with success?

Recently, my articles have been rejected for moving to a niche site. The site I am submitting the articles to is ‘LevelSkip’. They always give the same generic response, saying that the issue is Experience Based Content. Experience Based Content is very problematic because it is unclear what it...

Iv'd recently had two articles denied from Owlcation. The first is a book review (I read on another forum that that's where book reviews should be submitted, although it doesn't make sense to me). The second is a photo play-by-play of an nearly extinct bug working in my yard, The American Burying...
