Recently I stumbled upon the The People’s Media Company site.
Here everyone can publish their content in any format on any topic. Then this content will be published on their own site or on content partner sites

If you submit your content, you can ask yourself, is this content good enough to be paid fore? If so, you can submit it for upfront payment consideration. If they approve your content, a Content Manager will email you with an offer that they will pay you via paypal. You then can accept, decline or even resubmit your content in an improved version. Associated Content pays Content Producers via PayPal on various days of the week, although payments may occasionally be made on extra days when the volume of submissions is very high.

Another thing you can do is write an article for free and try and get traffic from this post to your blog, like the ‘AC Neil Crespi files’ post on AC.

Ok, this isn’t a money making machine, but when they published your content on their site or on their content partner sites, you’ll be getting part of their traffic. And then it’s up to you to do something with this newly gained traffic.
