Associated Content

I've only had a few articles published and haven't earned much, but I've got to hand it to them for paying promptly. Once I was paid even before they published the article. They sometimes take longer than the stated 5 days to respond, and sometimes a couple days pass between accepting the offer and seeing your article in print. As far as types of articles, I check their list of suggested topics, but don't know enough about most of them to write an article. I write things I hope people will want to read, which has met limited success so far. Good luck in your writing!

I've been a writer with Associated Content for almost 2 months now and I've earned about $200.00. It's pretty good money for me as far as extra monthly income and it really comes in handy. I just always transfer the money from my pay pal account to my bank account and it really makes me feel good to know that I'm earning money from what I love to do most which is write. My articles are mainly leaned toward relationships which we all know that everyone loves to read about things of that nature. I wrote one article about falling in love with a married man and that gained me my most comments ever and they were all positive. I'm averaging around $5.00 per articles and I try to write at least 4 or 5 articles a day. You can view my articles at: http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/70069/silent_thinker.html I also have a few short stories posted at writing.com so feel free to view those at: http://writing.com/author/msbiggs24 Thanks in advance!

I haven't published much yet, but am working on a couple of others that I hope to publish soon. The ones that I have written so far are here http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/47194/kelly60.html if you are interested in reading them. I don't stick to any particular theme, I just write about whatever comes to mind. So far my payments have ranged from $4 to $8 for my articles. I don't think that I would consider it as a second job unless you really worked at it, but I suppose that someone who could just turn out one article after the other might be able to make enough income to consider it that way. Personally, I tend to put too much time into an article to consider it that way. Even a few extra dollars doesn't hurt though.

I started writing for them in February (took a break from April to June) and have earned almost $500.00 - the range has been between $3.02 and $8.41. I was doing well at first with zero articles being rejected, but I've noticed quite a difference in the material they're willing to pay for now. For example, I submitted ten articles earlier this month (http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/54602/artexplorations.html) and they were only willing to pay for five because they claimed too many similar articles were already on the site. So, now I have to rethink what I've created for my idea file for this site and take on a new approach if I want to continue.
