My daughter's been making lots of quick money by writing freelance quickie articles for this online publisher.

They just started up in April. They take brief how-to articles (their theory is that everyone's an expert on something) and pay about $15 up (that's for about 1000 words)--Kate's already made $75 dollars in about four days with four articles--she found quickly that longer articles pay more--she got $20 for a 1500-word article. She just sent in two more.

Just type as fast as you can about your area of expertise! Oh, they first want a general piece as a submission, to get a sense of your style and use of grammar. Once you've done that and been accepted, you're in, and you can submit as fast as you can type!

You could easily make a couple hundred a month doing this. Kate has written about how to be a great subsitute teacher, how to use a spinning wheel, what to look for when buying a horse, how to find great overlooked anime movies, how to make your dog a social animal, how to get the most out of dog obedience classes--she's just pouring out the stuff, and getting paid via Pay Pal as fast as she turns them in! (Her name is Katherine Shaw if you want to see her articles there).

It's a fun, cool new place, and she's milking it for all it's worth while it's new--she suspects they are trying to get a huge article database and then will cool down on payments, or at least raise their standards somewhat.
