Sick and tired of people complaining about how much AC pays

estaban2501 @estaban2501 (52) • United States 8 Mar 08

Sorry but I need to rant for a moment. I am sick and tired of people complaining about declining offers and how they hate the Performance Pay. I guess people can't see the big picture. The performance pay is a good thing! Why?...

estaban2501 Agreed! Rating at helium has its pace but I personally dislike it as well. Granted I use helium mainly to gauge how my writing stacks up to others. Which other sites do you write on besides AC and helium? I'm always on the look out for other sites that'll pay...

PDA's How much is too much in public?

estaban2501 @estaban2501 (52) • United States 11 Mar 08

I've been hearing about PDAs or public displays of affection since middle school when they decided that kids could hug and that was it. No holding hands etc. My question is how much is too much in public? Personally I feel a...

estaban2501 A quick slap on the butt is even too much more me. Granted I don't get the appeal either so that might have something to do with it. Thanks for the input!

estaban2501 It really comes down to sustainability. AC gets paid by advertisers when there ads are seen. AC has moved to this model. In your example I agree I would be a bit upset at first but I also would realize that if the company didn't make me hourly then I...

Content has been declined for publication in AC website.

apaiktos @apaiktos (158) • Greece 10 Mar 08

A couple of days ago i mention somewhere in MyLot website that i submitted two articles at AC website. Today i receive two emails one for each article and both of them have been declined for publication in AC website....

declined content

estaban2501 That's correct. I also want to check and see if you are trying to submit for upfront payment or just the performance payments. Since you are not in the U.S. you can't get upfront payments at the moment just performance ones.

estaban2501 Bear with me it been a while since I've written with AC but there should be a link to edit and re-submit. You just have to edit out your name and that should be it. There is the small detail that they might still reject your article for another reason as well....

Short or Long articles better?

Benjaminna @Benjaminna (300) • United States 5 Mar 08

Do you think it is better to write longer articles or AC or shorter ones? The reason I ask is because I submitted my first article which was a little over 400 words and it was accepted for an upfront payment, which I was...

estaban2501 There ya go! You can't go wrong with turning 1 article into a couple. Just make sure they are not cookie cutter (looks similar) and also make sure they are good works by themselves. Granted you can link to your other articles relating to the same topic and...

estaban2501 No! not at all! Asking questions is perfectly fine and encouraged. You have not contributed at all to this problem. Its the people constantly putting the site down when they don't even understand it that bugs me. I agree there FAQ isn't the best but on the...

Anyone here heard of prosper.com?

estaban2501 @estaban2501 (52) • United States 28 Feb 08

My first discussion! :D Well long story short Prosper allows people to make personal loans to other people at interest rates set by the market. Borrowers set the max. rate they are willing to pay and then if lenders like the...

Peter Petrelli is too powerful in Heroes

bimmer999 @bimmer999 (1158) • Philippines 27 Feb 08

i think Peter Petrelli is too powerful since he can absorb, copy and use all the powers of different heroes at the same time, he's like Rogue in Xmen but he keeps the powers permanently with no consequences! that's why i think...

estaban2501 I'm in exactly the same boat! One thing to note bigger is not always better either. Everyone has different tastes. A woman shouldn't worry about her bra size. why? Because there will be a man out there that thinks your beautiful. Some like them big some like...

Best earning

mrtimharry @mrtimharry (1180) 20 Feb 08

Afternoon all, couple of questions about helium - how much has your best earning article earnt? - looking for just general visits rather than contest wins if that makes sense what are the best earning sections to write in? -...

estaban2501 I'm taking a stab in the dark here but roman battles and cannon doyle are popular search topics so that is probably why they are such good earners. For me payday loans are a huge business and they also have really high ad rates. Also they are searched for...

Offers going down

Sillychick @Sillychick (3275) • United States 20 Feb 08

I recently started publishing on AC. I have only a few pieces there. But already I have noticed that the offers seem to be inching down. Am I imagining this? I know some people say the offers have gone down lately, but will...

estaban2501 I can't agree more. I haven't written for a few months but hart is right on. Also try not to "date" your articles. Make them useful even if they are read 5 years from now.

Do you write on Helium ?

picaElite @picaElite (13) • United States 22 Feb 08

estaban2501 You can use your articles at both places. Helium only requires non-exclusive rights meaning it can be published elsewhere. I use helium for content ideas as they already have titles for me to write on and then I just submit them at AC for non-exclusive pay. It...
