These are some of the most popular sites out there, for the freelance writer to choose from.  It is important to do your own research on the site before you commit to write for one of them.  Check the forums, for other people’s experiences with the sites, and behind the scenes information.  For complaints, a simple search with the name of the site + complaints will lead you to issues and or comments.  After you do a good research, you should be able to match one (or more) of the sites to your writing style.

Good luck and happy writing!
