So like I said I have been freelancing. Where I got my start is with ehow.
My Ehow page:

It's great for beginners. You can only write in a "how to" format and as long as you have 3 steps you have an article. There's no ads to manage, no fees to be a member, it's so simple & requires very little time or effort. Your paid per view, the more views you have the more each of your views are worth. The more keywords you have in your article the more your views are worth, although I hardly pay attention to the keywords and still do well.
Your earnings will be directly proportionate to your effort. So the more you put in the more you'll get out. I find that I write a few articles a month with very little effort or time spent to do it. The articles also seem to promote themselves. I put ZERO effort into promoting my articles and I still make a pretty penny, imagine when I make more of an effort ... EXCITING!
If you do sign up (and you should) make sure you have a paypal account for them to pay you and make sure you sign up for the WCP (writers compensation program) or your articles won't make any money. Lastly but most importantly is when you start writing pick topics that are relevant; relevant to current economic situations, seasons, holidays, environment ... then your articles will be more likely to be read.
Post a comment and let me know if you sign up, I'll check out your articles .... AND you'll get paid for it!
Can't beat that with a stick, now can ya =)

I may be your first commenter! Do you have any prizes for this?
I want to add an important point that at eHow you have to be a US resident to join the compensation portion of their program.
Thank you for the ideas and the renewed inspiration. I shall return soon to my sparse and nearly forgotten blog.
Nope no prizes ... sorry.
But you make a good point about Ehow. You do have to be a US resident.
Thanks for the comment ... so exciting!
