Freelance writers now have yet another means of making 15 bucks.

According to Adage.com, IAC’s Pronto group has rolled out a new venture called The Writers Network, which on its Web site promises visitors that they can “build a career” by taking on fixed rate article assignments. They include topics like “Formal Dinner Party Napkin Folding Ideas” ($15) and “Star Wars Birthday Party” ($22).

IAC appears to be moving into the content mill space pioneered by the likes of Demand Media and Yahoo’s Associated Content, both of which employ thousands of freelancers who churn out enterprise articles—often of the “how-to” variety, and almost always Google search-friendly.
