If you're talking about the job boards where people post ads for opportunities to write quality original 500 word articles for $1 an article, I think we've been looking at the same job boards. Anyway, what I wanted to say is be careful with sites like this. If membership is completely free, then keep us posted on how it goes. I've seen similar sites where you have to pay to sign up or where you can join for free, but after seven days you have to pay a monthly fee. Those have scam written all over them.

Yeah that's the job boards I've been talking about. Rip off doesn't seem to sum it up really does it? I'm checking this other site out. I've scam-alyzed it and it seems clear. Free. Will post on how it goes. Thanks for the comment.

Very careful, about a month ago I did some work for someone asking for content writing (SEO) and was a bit pushy. They couldn't view my documents since they didn't have the same programs so i had to copy and paste. Anyways I did all this he told me he got it and was gone. Never to be heard from again. I've emailed 2-3 more times since then asking for payment but nothing. Makes it hard to trust on those next assignments.

That's a shame. That is what makes it hard being a freelance writer via the web. Unfortunately, you can never really get a guarantee doing this stuff. I think the only satisfaction you can get out of a situation like that is to plaster the guy's name everywhere telling folks not to do anything for him.
