DailyArticle.com allows writers to sell their articles for a set price, like Constant-Content, and wait for it to be bought by a customer.  Once bought, the writer receives a portion of the sale price (the going rate is currently 80%).

Bukisa
Bukisa (bukisa.com) is a UGC website that pays contributors for the page views they accumulate from their articles.  Most UGC models follow the same format payment-wise, but the biggest difference with Bukisa is they don’t pay pennies for these page views.  They pay over twice as much as Associated Content, which is a huge advantage for people looking for another website to earn residual payments.
