Method Shop

Method Shop is a content site and they are offering people the chance to submit their articles.  All articles must be original.

It would be a good idea to read through some of the sample articles that are highlighted on the front page. Getting articles published is much easier when you know exactly what kind of work someone is looking for.

I couldn't find any information about payment but they have a PayPal link on there so I presume this is how they will be made.
