Does that mean $5-15 per article? How long are the articles? I couldn't find that on the site without doing the whole app. process.

I think it depends on what kinds of articles you are assigned, and the pay and length varies. I believe for simple assignments, there is payment of 5 dollars per article. Some assignments may be more in depth and you'd be paid 15 an article. I think your assignments may be based on your writing style.
Luckily, the app process is pretty simple. Just name and address, upload your resume and writing sample.
I think they even offer health insurance, if I am not mistaken. Time Magazine had a whole article about it.

Wow, I'm curious to know the length of the articles, because that pay seems pretty cheap—especially if it requires extensive interviews/research. I'm a freelance writer for magazines and websites. Web work does tend to be cheaper than print editorial work, but definitely NOT that cheap. I'm not saying that it won't be good for some people to get a little extra cash, but just be aware that reputable websites do pay much more than $5-$25 per article, so this company may be taking a significant cut.

When I freelanced, I was paid per word (15-20 cents per word), and was usually $500 or so per article. It sounds like they might be taking advantage of women who want to work from home--for most (and I write very quickly), this would be less than minimum wage.

Yes, this is my fear, too. It sounds like they're pocketing more than their fair share.
