A comment on Who Pays Writers?.

Glancing through the site, it looks like most writers get their writings published through referrals / relationships with the editors.

Are there avenues where people can send writings / research into with an opportunity to publish on being compensated?

My motivation is around analytics, data research, visualization, mortgages, finance and real estate

The phrase you would be looking to use in your pitch to the editor would be to offer it 'on spec'. Some publications mandate that the first piece they get from new freelancers will be submitted on spec. But when you're making a living from it, it sucks to hear that.
