It is true that all of these companies have tried similar business models for freelance writers and have failed. This is going to be a plug for a company I started due to the issue mentioned above. I started http://www.uwemp.com as a destination for feature and profile writing about experiences of people and organizations from all walks of life. Our goal is to take a very different take than these companies, our goal is to create a free marketplace of writers and the more the writers contribute and interact with the users, the higher they will rank. The goal is to have authors compose a series of features on different topics so they become known for a specific topic. Eventually we will look to license our content and share the revenue with the writers. Further, though working your way up you can become an editor and eventually get paid. We just started, come check us out, contribute and give some feedback. We are only focused on high quality, useful content. It is a very interesting website owned by a large media conglomerate.

Like I said, having been at it for less than a week, I can't give a definitive opinion, but so far so good.

Interesting. There have been websites with similar membership and ideas, but they've folded because of bad business models. They've been around for a year, presumably with the same business model. So that's something. hmm. Interesting. There have been websites with similar membership and ideas, but they’ve folded because of bad business models.
