Update: Today.com has changed their policy on how writers are rewarded. I heard that they initially started out at $5 a post, then reduced that to $1, and sometime in January began a different system to pay writers. A quick review of their webpage did not yield the details, so if there is still interest, please use a web search engine or contact them before you sign up.

New to writing and want to try out your skills? You do not have to be a seasoned writer to get paid to write at Today.com, just capable of adding interesting and informative content when you choose a subject, and following directions on the site. Each new VIP blogger is guaranteed $1.00 for each orginal 100 or more word post on their blog per day. When unique views to your blog reach a thousand as recorded by Today.com, your pay will include an additional $2.00.
Today.com will review your blog monthly for certain criteria that include originality, regular posting, and how popular your blog has become. Today looks for quality work, and people who are able to promote themselves to produce page views. Today also notes that after review and consideration of statistics, payment might be "adjusted".
Bloggers can write more than one entry per day but only one will be accepted for payment. If you would like to try it out, go to http://www.today.com/, read the information presented on the site and sign up if you think you might be a good fit. It could be the start of a writing career for the stay at home, or work at home mom (or dad) or one of many "eggs" in your work basket for online earnings.

I was one of Today's first bloggers and it took me less than a week to say, "Forget this crap!" (And that was back in the $5 days.)
Despite 10 years experience writing for the web and 6 years experience with SEO, 1/3 of my articles were marked as "non-payable", even though I ran them through all the appropriate SEO tools. I *knew* they should be profitable but Today gave me no reason whatsoever for not paying for them.
