Any thoughts about this?

I have seen that certain magazines offer up to few hundreds, even thousands of USD for a good article / story / fiction / non-fiction and such.

It does raise my interest to pursue this career even more. Sure, the are not guaranteed payouts, but living as a freelance writer is fun. There are sites that can pay you out nice money if you get accepted into their ranks.

What are your experiences with this? Have you any good tips, sites or places to look for?
 
That's actually not my purpose in joining forums. I just wanted to improve my writings skills because my job involves writing communications often. However, in the even that I would retire from my job then writing freelance is a good option. However, I am not well versed with writing sites although I have read about some of the writing sites that gave the writers a sad experience. But it's great to earn $100 a week, if that is possible.

Well, that is a nice idea indeed, I believe we all can use extra experience. Forums are a great way to start with. What got me really interested about freelance writing is that there are sites that offer you to write articles for them and have a high payout. The bad thing there is, it might not be guaranteed as the competition might be big. Although, being unique, having your own views and sticking with them is what matters the most and I guess most people who would hire writers would aim for somebody that is legit and know what he is talking about.
 
Only problem with this, is that the competition among other freelancers
 
But if the offer is thousands dollars per article, if it is a scam, you can loss a lot! So I will not do a large piece of writing article , just do some small one!

Well, this is where you have to do your homework and research what is real and what is not. There are quite a big names out there, magazines in particular that give out such amounts, but it is not guaranteed. You could waste your time, brain cells as well, and end up getting nothing. It isn't a scam though, it just means that your article was not that good, or it is not what a certain magazine might be looking for
 
So I will do mainly small tasks in online marketplace or profit sharing CPM sites though earning is low, but can get something
