AOL has announced a scheme through which it will pay 2,000 people $50 each to write interviews and profiles of 2,000 bands playing at the upcoming SXSW festival. For their $50, they’ll have to research and interview whatever band they’re assigned, and then write up a 1,000 Q&A article and a biography. Writers who do a good job and are going to SXSW may then get more work from Spinner.com, where the articles will be published. Source: PaidContent
