And don't limit yourself to your local city, look in all the major cities in North America. At any given time you'll see a few dozen freelance writing/editing gigs in the San Fran, NYC, Toronto Craigslists.
You also have sites like Associated Content, Hubpages, etc. And actually, in its heyday Mahalo was probably a pretty good place to make decent money for the right people.
I don't think sites like Squidoo, Knol, and the new Mahalo that do rev share are good sources of income. I mean, they can be, but it's probably almost as difficult to make money on those sites as it would be to start up your own content site. Being paid per article/report is the best way to do it - from a writer perspective. Rev share is the best way to do it from the site's perspective.
