I want to write job search articles & motivational articles for cash, pay, dinero. All I have found on the net so far are places where I can put articles that ezines could use for free.

Any ideas on articles in newspapers, magazines, and on the internet where they pay?

This may seem to come out of left field, however, I would suggest that you check out guru.com. Guru is site for free lancers and I see projects all the time for articles. It would be meet the clients needs more than your creativity you would be selling. By that I mean you would have the ability to write the article, but you would need to follow what the client wants and that can be anything from anything you have to very specific guidelines.

As to the guidas, I find the money and job frequency to more than meet my needs. The best thing is while it costs 5% of the project fee, the site is your friend and goes to bat for you if there ever is problem.

Hope this helps.

I know there's a list of sites that pay for articles there.

Here are a few thoughts.

Consider blogs and sites like suite101 (www.suite101.com) that use freelancers who may not get paid (or paid much) for the actual article but get a share of ad revenue based on the traffic they generate. You may find such opportunities on the problogger job site: http://jobs.problogger.net/

Also, approach your Internet writing like you would freelance writing for print. Study online publications to see which fit your topics and then approach the site owners/editors with proposals. If you are not already published, do some writing for free to get exposure, or post to article banks to prove the popularity of your articles. Also consider generating revenue by starting your own blog, build up traffic and sell ad space.

Enjoy and good luck!
