Squadhelp.com

Squadhelp.com is a crowdsourcing contest-driven site similar in concept to SloganSlingers.com and GetASlogan.com.  Businesses come to Squadhelp looking for a lot of different things, from slogans and taglines to company names and logos.  You can sign up as a contributor for free, and you can enter any contest that isn't restricted.

The contributor chosen as the winner by the contest holder for a specific contest will win the set prize amount ($50 or more) minus a 10% fee taken by Squadhelp.  When you win a contest, the prize amount is deposited into your Squadhelp account, and you have to request a payout (via PayPal) to receive your money.  You can request a payout any time you have $20 or more in your account [update: the threshold is now $25].  In addition to receiving money when you win a contest, you can also earn site points and badges.

Squadhelp is a good site for slogan writers to sign up with, because it's free and there are a lot of opportunities to make money.  You can only submit a certain number of entries to each contest, and depending on the contest holder those entries may or may not be rated.  The site design is a little busy-looking, and it takes a while to get used to the layout and where to find everything, but generally it's easy to use.

Thanks to Wylie for suggesting this website.
