iWriter Alternatives..?

Hi everyone!

A few weeks ago, I took the plunge and signed up to iWriter in the hopes of making a bit of extra pocket money here and there. So far, so good - having written 10 articles so far, only one of which was rejected, I am hopeful that I will soon be able to treat myself to the occasional little luxury now and again with my hard earned cash, particularly when I am eventually upgraded to premium and then elite status. As a matter of fact, the new pair of shoes I ordered last week using the proceeds of my iWriter efforts arrived early this morning and are looking marvelous!

However, the only real problem I have with the website is the fact that there is often not as much work available as I would like; I understand that one cannot expect to make a full-time living from iWriter but, while this is certainly not my intention, I am hoping to increase my efforts and my subsequent earnings very soon and my concern is that there simply will not be a sufficient supply / variety of requested articles for me to make even an adequate amount of money each week.

Having checked the website once again only a few moments ago, there are currently only three pages of articles available to standard-level writers such as myself. It is fair to say that people in my position cannot afford to be too picky about which articles they choose to write but, considering the volume of people seeking out the skills of article writers, obviously a significant proportion of said people are going elsewhere to find the right people.

It goes without saying that services such as Freelancer and oDesk are popular venues of choice when the help of a writer is required but what I'm wondering is if anyone is aware of websites similar to iWriter, preferably in terms of both pricing and format (ie. writers being able to fulfill available orders straight away without the need to bid / compete against other writers).

If anyone knows of any such websites, I would be immensely grateful for any suggestions provided.

PS. Just in case anyone was wondering, yes, I have already attempted to seek out the websites in question myself via Google but have thus far encountered only websites offering payment plans that simply would not be worth the time of either myself or any other self-respecting writer!
