Ok. I wrote some stuff, a poem and a story, for Associated Content, and it got published. Now what should I do to get it seen? I'm not entirely clear on what we can put here as far as links, and I'm not very computer literate. I need some ideas, besides having a bumper sticker made, which I could do if you think it will help!! LoL. Obviously, I'm kidding... or am I?? Thanks in advance. BTW- I don't have my own site or anything, mostly because I don't know how to make one. I should take a class.

You can always make your own site, or you can send people on here private messages with the link. Make sure you dont put it as a post though because you will be breaking the rules. I am currently a member of ac as well so if youd like to be friends and help each other by reading each others stuff i would love to. I enjoy reading other peoples article.

I'm not sure how you get paid. I believe the more visitors read your article the more you earn. If that's the case, join as many forums related to what you wrote and in your signature put the link. Basically spread the word. I would also advise you to start creating a site because if that article becomes popular, you would want to make more money out of it.How does having a site help you accomplish that? You can always tell your readers to check out your website for more related articles. What that will do to your site is bring traffic and traffic is money. It sounds like you have got a good start. You need to learn how to monetize the traffic. I recently started a blog. You can see how I did it and ask me if you have any questions. I spent very little on the blog but it's a great site - my own domain! no myblog.bloggers.com. the link to my blog is in my profile under my Avatar. Hope this helps.

My problem is that I don't know how to make or maintain a site. Also, I wouldn't know where to get one. I need a map!!! Lol!

Well, I use the widget tool (AC provide links to making these in your account under "tools". You can see one of my widgets on my profile here. If you have a MySpace page, Facebook, or any other networking site, I suggest posting such a widget there too, as well as bulletins with the link to each article you write. If you need more specific help, just ask!

I actually just made a page on facebook yesterday. I'm not sure if it's ok, and I don't know how to get people to it. I don't know how to share it with people or who would want it. Outside my family, who I sent messages to, I don't know what to do next. I don't know how to get you there so you can see if it's ok. My excuse is this- I was busy having kids and moving back and forth between Reno and Nebraska when all this stuff was being learned. I'm aware I'm behind. Thanks!!
