Getafreelancer.com - Another reasonably good freelancing site
Guru - a very large outsourcing site with plenty of writing jobs.
Contracted Work - a medium sized contracting site

Thanks for the list of resources. However, given the nature of the online marketing, if the business is “The Steak” and the perception created by most of the ad copy out there is “The Sizzle”, I’d offer that most folks really don’t want “The Steak” They want “The Sizzle”. I say this to say that my promoting anything that suggests a lot of effort is involved such as monetizing a blog can sometimes be an uphill struggle.
