Little bit of background: I was a freelance writer for a few years, but in the end decided it wasn't something I wanted to do long term--too much hustle, and it didn't leave me with much time or energy for fiction writing, which is my real passion. So I went back to the real-world job force for a while, but right now the household budget is a little tight and I was hoping to make some quick money writing content. When I was freelancing I wrote for Demand a fair bit, and what I liked about them was that the work was steady and it paid a decent rate up front. (Most DS assignments paid $15-20, and I could finish it in about an hour.)
Are there any content providers like that out there now? I know DS kind of restructured itself a while back, and when I log in now there are only three titles available to me, none of which I could write quickly enough to make it worth my time. Looking around the internet, it looks like most content providers pay their writers considerably less, or they pay on a per-pageview system, which may indeed work out to more money in the long run but I need the money now.
I guess it wouldn't even have to be content writing--it could be blogging or keywording photos or naming paint chip colors or whatever. I'm just looking for something where the pay would work out to about $10/hr after taxes.
