Have you noticed that AC edits content?

restlesslimbs @restlesslimbs (174) • United States 20 Nov 08

When your submit to AC, they reserve the right to edit your content. I noticed that some of my articles have been edited and it gave me a weird feeling. It's like someone else wrote the article now because they used word choices...

MichelleLDevon Do you have your original copy saved on your computer so you can see the differences for sure? Sometimes they will change it back for you if you can prove it's not what you wrote. Fortunately, the only thing they've changed on me is titles, and while they...

Can you make more money than $3.50 at AC??

leafygreens08 @leafygreens08 (754) • United States 17 Nov 08

I have been writing at Assoc. Content for about 3 months now and I have been making an average of $3.50 per article. I have written various topics but they all seem to pay the same upfront amount. Can you make more there and...

MichelleLDevon Oh, yeah, they pay a lot more than that upfront when you prove yourself to them. I haven't had an offer less than 10 bucks in months and some are even more than that. You have to pick really good topics that are highly searched for but haven't been written...

AC Veterans....

crimsonladybug @crimsonladybug (3112) • United States 23 Nov 08

How many of you are old hat veterans of Associated Content? How long have you been on the site? What is your clout rating? I started my fourth year in August and I'm an 8. And it's my own fault. I don't promote my content like...

MichelleLDevon AC started in Nov 2004, so you're a little off your timeline. They didn't even hit their fourth year until this month, so you can't have started your fourth year in August. Maybe some days it just feels longer? LOL With AC, there ARE those days! I've been with...

Pictures with articles

myfanwy65 @myfanwy65 (1030) • United States 20 Sep 07

AC has suddenly started deleting all the pictures I have put with my articles. I have not changed the place I get them, they are relevant to the articles and they are the same size they have always been. I emailed them and they...

MichelleLDevon The pictures problem is a glitch in the publishing platform, that apparently is because of the alpha testing of a new software that all CPs will have soon. It's not anything you have done wrong and they should have it fixed soon... I had one publish last night...

What do you do to get more page views in AC?

rosaflorence @rosaflorence (1924) • United States 28 Sep 07

I have been stumped at a certain clout for over a month now and I can't figure out why. Is there a better way of getting more page views? What are some of the things that you do to get people to read your articles on Associated...

Multiplying my earnings with my Paypal money

DuoMaxwell @DuoMaxwell (953) • United States 4 Oct 07

To date, my Paypal account has about $25 dollars from what i've did here in MyLot, and in Associated Content, and I have to say, Associated Content is one of the best places to get paid to write articles for free. Not to mention...

MichelleLDevon Do you write for Suite101? They pay ad revenue shares - I write for them and Associated Content. Granted, I make more money from AC, but I do make a decent stream from Suite101. They do require you to apply and get approved though and they don't approve just...

Do you learn best with or without music in the background?

ACagedHeart @ACagedHeart (14) • United States 3 Apr 07

Some people need absolute quiet for studying, and some like to have music or other distractions in the background. I like quiet music while I am studying, and louder music while I am writing novels and nonfiction. How about you?

MichelleLDevon It really depends on my mood. Some days I can't do a thing without music playing, and sometimes I can't do anything if there is a single noise in the house. When I'm doing graphics and pictures, I love to play orchestra music, like philharmonic. Music is...

Why Are You Still Using Internet Explorer??

resa77 @resa77 (51) • United States 6 May 07

In the days where Internet Security is a much talked about topic, it surprises me that so many people are still using Internet Explorer. There are other browsers out there (most popularily being Firefox) that have been proven to...

How do you write your novels?

delani @delani (15) • United States 6 May 07

For those of you who write novels, I'm curious how you approach drafting them. Historically, I've had difficulty writing in order. I've also had problems managing alternate methods of planning out my novel ahead of time and...

MichelleLDevon Good question. Let's see... I refuse to outline, because I never seem to follow it anyway. I jot down notes when I get an idea of a possible subplot or something I might like to try, and I do pretty in depth character sketches, but I just can't seem to stick...

MichelleLDevon What a great question! I always gave my son a dollar. He's 12 now, and they say he won't be losing anymore teeth, so thankfully, this tooth fairy doesn't have to worry about inflation! It'll be neat to see what others are paying though. I have a friend who...
