Iwriter Vs. Article Teller
Iwriter was the very first website I joined to start writing for upfront payments. At first it was a great experience. I was getting articles approved and learned that you can make a significant amount by writing. In the past I only did writing with ad revenue sharing, and it was barely worth it. When I joined Iwriter I made $25 in two weeks. Compared to $25 in 6 months on helium, that is not bad at all! Some of the articles are low paying, but generally easy. It is taking a very long time for my ratings to increase, which is taking longer to be able to get paid at an higher rate. I've also dealt with a few clients / requester who are difficult. For example they are not specific enough in instructions, or extremely picky. My approval rate is about half of the articles I write.
Then I joined Article Teller. I noticed a few significant improvements from Iwriter. First of all, they are a bit higher paying. Secondly, my approval rate is much higher. I've only received one rejection so far. To be fair, I have only written for Article Teller a couple of times. One of the reasons is because there are usually not that many requested articles. On Article Teller, I see a lot of articles that require some researching. I also see a bit of traveling articles being requested on Article Teller. I recently had an article approved for the highest rate / price I've ever received. I'm somewhat new to writing, especially upfront payment writing so this could change and some may not consider it a good price to be paid.
Advantages of Iwriter:

Writing For Upfront Payments
Writing for upfront payments is a way for writers and freelancers to get paid per article. Each client will post an article they want written, and then the writers and freelancers can write the article and get paid the upfront payment.
I want to listen some advice because this can be frustrating work to get into:
My experience:
Article Teller - I have recently started working on this one. I'm seeing higher paying articles being requested than Iwriter BUT a lot of times there are only a few requested articles. Occasionally I see more than a few but not often. I also noticed that my ratings when up significantly faster than Iwriter. I don't remember submitting an application or anything similar with this one either.
GhostBlogger.net - This one is a bit more difficult. First of all I'm finding it somewhat confusing. You have the option to write articles and let them sit until someone purchases them. I'll write more as soon as I understand about it more.
Zery's - I don't see a lot of articles on here and usually when I do they are somewhat technical. Although that could be because of the categories I chose to write about. You choose what categories you have "expertise" in and then write in those. You can choose more than one category.
Scripted - Although I see really high paying offers with this one, they are a bit difficult and a lot of requester ask for guides on here. I don't know anything about writing a guide. You also have to be accepted for expertise in certain categories. You may want to click on unclaimed jobs because I never have any that match my profile.
TextBroker - I've heard good things about this one but I haven't been able to write for them yet. They do require you to upload an ID. I'll write more as soon as I can about them.
Constant Content - Looks fairly easy but I don't see many request.
Sky Word - I couldn't get my page to work but you might want to try it
Article Document - This is more work because you have to do a lot of writing and earn from ad revenue before you can write for upfront payments.
BlogMutt - I find this a bit confusing but I think you write blog posts for upfront payments.
Crowd Content - (I'm waiting to be accepted or denied)

I want to listen some advice because this can be frustrating work to get into:
- Check the websites often
- Carefully read the requesters / clients instructions
- Write the articles you feel comfortable with
- Try to write quality articles for each one
- Realize that there is always a chance your article will be declined
- Choose the articles that you have knowledge about
- Have a resume ready
- Have writing samples ready
Before I list my experience I would like to take a minute and tell you a few problems I've ran into:
- Clients / requester who are not specific enough in instructions
- Clients who are extremely picky
- Getting rejected in general
- Clients who give you a bad rating
My experience:
Iwriter is the first website that I joined for writing to make upfront payments. It took me a little less than two weeks to make $25.00. It is one of the lower paying websites available for this type of work, but it is also one of the easiest to start with. I do suggest it for beginners to see what they may be getting themselves into. I don't remember having to submit an application, resume, or writing sample for Iwriter. I think you can create an account and start working.
Article Teller - I have recently started working on this one. I'm seeing higher paying articles being requested than Iwriter BUT a lot of times there are only a few requested articles.
