******** More jobs to come this evening ***************
Sorry for the partial list. It's definitely like a Monday around here, and I'm paying for the holiday. :) Check back this evening for the rest of the list.

What is your motivation for writing?

I've been thinking about all the talk going on about sites like Associated Content and whether or not they are ripping off writers by using their articles to generate lots ad revenue. There's also the distinction some are trying to make between what they term "legitimate" writers, who write only on assignment, or only for print, and those who write for sites like AC, Helium and Suite101.

To me it seems simple. A writer is someone who writes. As a writer, you should never work on a project, submit an article, take an assignment, etc., without knowing the terms up front. If the terms are acceptable to *you*, then it's all good. Who cares what other writers think, right? How much money the publisher makes from your writing is irrelevant. Everyone who pays you to write will be trying, in some way or another, to make money off your writing. What you should consider is whether the amount they offer to you is acceptable or not. Either it is or it isn't.

Deciding what terms are acceptable to *you*, or whether you should write for certain websites or clients, depends on two main things, motivation and situation.

Motivation: Why are you writing? Is it strictly for money? Money and enjoyment? Or purely enjoyment, with any money being a bonus?

Situation: Are you an established writer? Are you trying to break into a particular market, or maybe any market at all? Do you have a regular job or are you relying on freelance work to support yourself?

Honestly answering these questions for yourself will help you decide whether *you* want to write for sites that rely on user-generated content, or other similar projects.

Personally, I am fortunate to have a steady job that pays me to write. I can pick and choose what I want to write. Sometimes I decline jobs because they don't pay enough and I know I wouldn't enjoy them. Sometimes I take low-paying assignments or write for sites like eHow because I like it. Associated Content, for me, is a place to write about anything I want at all. If I'm fascinated with a certain flower and want to write about, I can do it, get a little pay for it, and have the satisfaction of sharing it with others.

At first, I worried a little about the "illegitimacy" of some of the sites. But in the end, who cares? It's my writing, I can do what I want with it. And that, I think, is the key.

There's been a lot of discussion lately about the paid blogging opportunities being offered by Today.com. Allena over at About.com checked it out and had this to say -click to see her post-.

The pay is low, but with all the buzz I decided to check it out for myself.

You have to apply for an account, and the application says that it could take up to 30 days to receive a response. I applied for a blog on Arizona travel and had a positive response within a few hours. I went ahead and started my blog with two posts and am waiting to see what happens.

Some things I am curious about are:

- How much marketing they do for you, and how much you must do yourself
- How the editing process works. Although my posts showed up immediately on the public blog, my account showed one post being in the editing review process for payment.
- Can you make any money on page views? Only Today.com can place ads, so you are relying strictly on page views. In the little bit of experience I've had with that they haven't paid much.

I'd been thinking about starting an Arizona travel blog for a while now, so it's really no great loss if it doesn't work out. I'll be sure to post updates as it goes along. You can see the blog at arizonatravel.today.com. You can visit Today.com/apply if you want to try it out for yourself, or you can wait and see what happens with my little experiment.

If anyone has experience with Today.com, I'd love to hear from you!

I learned about Xomba when I replied to an online ad for feature writers. They hired me to write several feature articles for their front page each month (my first article should show up in June). I signed up for an account, but didn't take the time to really explore the site since I already had plenty of writing work to keep me busy.

Yesterday I decided to check it out. I'm not sure about the potential for earning on regular articles, but I sure am enjoying their Xomblurb feature. Basically, you post a short paragraph entry about a cool website or article, similar to a blog post. It's fun and quick and easy. It'll take a while to see if it pays anything, but I think it's worth finding out.

You can check it out at Xomba.com.

I've been pondering how to gather together all the resources I know of in a usable, meaningful way. I'm going to post a big list of all the sites, without comments or reviews, so that they're available to you. I will then continue to post information about the sites I've found most useful.

I hope this list is as useful for you as it has been for me. If you have suggestions for a better way to display or organize, feel free to let me know! Also, if you know a great site that I've missed, please let me know so I can include it.

As always, remember to use common sense and caution when applying for any job or signing up at any website. I have not checked all of these sites out.

--- List under construction --- (It's going to take me a few days to get the entire list together, so please be patient.)
