Between Demand Studios, Break Studios, and Brighthub I'm making a steady $80+ a day! (which might as well be $1,000, relative to where I was BEFORE I started..lol!) I love to write so it's a dream gig for me.
These 3 pay between $8 and $15 per article and are all pains in the ass to get "accepted" into, but I did a TON of research about submission guidelines and spiffed up my resume before applying.
Even though Break Studios pays the least of the 3, I like it the best because the articles are about fun stuff like "How to Make a Daft Punk Suit" (article I actually wrote earlier) and they can be as short as 250 words.
I hope to break into freelancing after compiling a good portfolio and my goal is to eventually make $75 per HOUR.

• As far as spamming your link, I doubt any of these are good for that purpose, sorry.
• eHow is now owned by Demand Studios, so they are a pain in the ass to get into as well. They pay $15 per accepted article. Probably not a place to make "quick" money. Textbroker is your best bet for that I think.
