Requirements: Internet, PC, fairly good English composition skills, and a Paypal account.  You don't need to be an professional writer, but you do need to have some writing skills and creativity!

Qualification: You will have to submit a sample of your writing, a brief article, to be accepted.  They will rate your article anywhere between 2 and 5 stars.  You will only be able to write articles that correspond to your rating, (If you get a 3 star rating, you can only choose articles that are 3 stars or lower).  HOWEVER, you can improve your rating with subsequent articles.

How it works: After you pass the test, you are free to chose articles (in your qualification range).  There are many different topics, and usually you have to write 150 to 400 words.  The client will give you instructions that you need to follow, but you have a lot of creative breathing room!   After you write the article, you submit it to the client and wait for their response, usually within 1 to 3 days.

Pay:  Yeah, you probably won't get rich doing this.  The average rate per word is 1.5 cents.  You get paid through Paypal, and you need to have a balance of $10 in the Textbroker account before they will pay you.

Black Mamba says:  I've made $30 here so far, and I've done 19 short articles.  Hey, that's not bad!   I suppose you could possibly make a few hundred dollars a month, if you are consistent.  Bottom line, it's a nice little egg to have if you like to write!  I've never had a client not pay me, and Texbroker is usually very prompt with their pay out.
