This is an updated response to the thread "The Easiest and Quickest $100 A Day I Know." If you haven't seen this thread before, you can view it here:

The thread is five years old, yet continues to get a ton of views and comments. I noticed a lot of people commenting on it in the last few months, saying there was no way it could still work - but I know better. And I'm here to tell you that it does still work.
I was bored a few weeks ago and decided to rewrite a few articles and submit them to YV to see how the site worked, these days. I rewrote three different articles from three separate niches to see if one niche paid more than another. I decided not to do any more than that, if the site was a waste of time. All three articles were approved and I was offered upfront payments for each article. So let's debunk some of the comments about this thread in the last year.
Myth 1: Yahoo! Voices Doesn't Accept Articles with This Method Because They Get Marked as Spam
I read a few comments from users saying Yahoo! Voices sent them emails that said they wouldn't approve their articles because they were spam. Guess what? If you try outsourcing to some bottom-feeding, non-native English speaker on oDesk or another freelancing site, you are NOT going to get quality articles for peanuts and Yahoo! Voices damn sure isn't going to accept them. I know that's mind-blowing. You honestly can't outsource this type of work to turn a large profit because YV doesn't pay that much to begin with, so if you aren't planning to do the work yourself, don't bother.
Myth 2: Yahoo! Voices Doesn't Pay More Than $2 Per Article
I was offered over $3 for each of my articles. Not great money, but if you're someone who thinks $10-$15 a day would be helpful, then this method is still viable. If you think you can rewrite 20 articles in a few hours by speaking them, then that's still $60 a day. Here's what I was offered:
Article 1: $3.31
Article 2: $3.11
Article 3: $3.06
I'm sure this number can vary greatly, depending on the niche and quality of writing. If you write a seasonal article, that pays even more. For example: 10 Cheap Halloween Costume Ideas
Supposedly, they pay up to $7 per article. I'd assume that's only for specialty articles, like I just mentioned, or something that is insanely well-written - which I would not expect you to see if you're quickly re-writing with voice software.
Myth 3: Articles Take Two Weeks to Approve
All three articles were approved in one week. That's really not a big deal, just keep writing articles and you'll have new ones approved each week.
So. The method does still work. Voices also pays you residual income for every 1,000 views your article gets, but I wouldn't count on that and only consider the upfront payments when asking yourself if it's worth your time. All three of my articles were published on 09-09-13 and have only received 13 views between all three. I'm sure good niches good generate a good amount of views, though.
What You Need for This Method
- Voice software (just torrent Dragon Naturally Speaking from Pirate Bay or another torrent site)
- Articles to rewrite (go to ArticlesBase or eZine and grab a few from popular niches)
Cons About This Method
- Must be a US Resident
- Payment can only be received through PayPal - you cannot opt for a check or an alternative eWallet like Moneybookers
Hope this helped answer any questions about this thread. I know it's old, but it does still work and might help some noobs. Feel free to ask any questions and I will respond as soon as I can.
Cheers,
