I always cringe when I read "content milll" and try to envision Factoidz as not being one among them, but this article (see link, below) more-or-less reflects how things really are. I am just not that serious about 'being a writer' even though I enjoy writing my articles and the exposure it brings.

Now, the link:

Associated Content does, but poetry isn't eligible for Upfront Payment. I'm not sure about their payment policy for short stories.

Triond (average: 10 views=1 cent).  Helium, but I'm not sure of the pay scale for creative writing. Hellopoetry allow you to publish poetry but do not pay for views, however, you can compile a book of poems and sell it there.  Redgage allow creative writing and they pay you on a prepaid top-up card once you reach the $25 threshhold.  Those are just a few that I can think of, at the minute.

Watch out for Helium...

They will not pay you anything unless you reach their $25 threshhold. After 3 years of complaining, they refuse to pay me the $20.83 in my account. Their reasoning is very convoluted: You need to maintain one RATING star before you can request a payout. I cannot do their rating with my low vision because two articles appear side-by-side on the screen in small print and you need to read both. Then you decide which article will attract the most readers based on content, readability and a few other fine points. I know why they do it, but a publisher bought a marketplace article of mine and Helium took their cut. The rest of the money is mine - from that publisher and NOT from Helium. Of course, the 83 cents came from revenue-share articles. I have about a dozen articles in their system.

My message is BEWARE! you could be caught, too.

When you meet the necessary word count Bukisa accepts poetry. If you wonder how to manage the words, please look for me and check out some of my poetry published there. I am goodselfme.

Thanks for your help !!

Triond is the best place to publish poems. If you can write a 200 word poem. You can publish on Bukisa.

Content Mills (article farms) are looking for factual, informational writing that can be published on one of many virtual real estate parcels polka-dotted with Google Adsense links. Frank has a list that is very good and not classified as true content mills. They lean more toward social sites similar to HubPages, Squidoo or some blogs. Facebook Fanpages have the potential to accommodate fiction or poetry in the near future.

In addition to Trion and Associated Content, WikiNut also allows poetry and it is eligible for the same revenue sharing as other types of work.

Stacy,

I seem to recal reading here that redgage didn't pay very well.....?

Try Triod, I'm registered but I have never posted anything because I like more factual articles and therefore factoidz is my choice. I've heard it's nearly the same but with fictional and poetry works available.

Hub pages.

Trion.  This pays $0.01 per 5-10 views.  I think Bukisa is Ok too.  helium has creative writing contest, but you have to write to specific titles and themes.   These are all pay per views and you will not receive upfront bonuses.
