Some authors on the Yahoo Contributor Network are able to make $50K+ per year. Payment is in two parts: Upfront and Performance. Upfront payments are in the range of $0-15 and do not preclude the contributor from receiving performance payments. Performance payments are $1-2 CPM for a given article.
Pay differs depending on the writer's area of expertise, but you could reasonably expect to make between 40k to 90k per year.
