What was your experience with Associated Content?

I am an AC fan. Prior to discovering AC, I had a few articles published on Triond and Helium. I have abandoned Triond because of its payment per page view format. I like that AC offers upfront payment and page view payment. AC, also, seems to promote its contributers' works. I'm constantly amazed by the number of page views I receive without promoting my work. (I have to get better at self-promotion.) Because of my articles published on AC, I was able to submit my AC URL to an editor. She liked what she read and offered me my first online writing gig.

If you like Associated Content, you will probably like Bukisa. (PM me for the link, please.) I write all my AC articles now as non-exclusive and then after they are published, I publish them at Bukisa and they pay only for page views. I wasn't very active at Bukisa and didn't log in for nearly two months, and even though I had not submitted anything new, I had a surprising jump in my income earned there. I will be submitting more there every week as a rule now to see how much my income skyrockets! I do like Associated Content, but if you can publish the same article multiple places and earn more cash, why not do so? The only effort it takes is copying and pasting all your non-exclusive articles from AC into this site! Best wishes.

I think AC is a good writing site. You shouldn't limit yourself to them however. There are other sites you can sell articles to buyers and set your own price rather than just getting offered a price from AC. Some of those sites you can sell articles on are dailyarticle.com, constant-content.com and niche-content-packages.com. I would recommend first trying to sell articles to associated content and if they don't give you a decent offer then try selling your work on the other sites I mentioned.

Hello bziebarth!!! Well I don't have very very good experience with Associated content but very little. I have posted about three articles there on Associated Content till date. But I haven't used it frequently. I think though the site is really genuine, it is very hard to make some money from that site. After all I am not very good writer. And I am also weak in grammar. I need some grammar correction site, before posting articles there. Anyway, I succeed to post some of the articles there. 1.5$ for 1000 page impressions, that is difficult for me. I will have to spend lot of time reading others posts and commenting on those posts, to get some impressions for myself. Happy mylotting...

Hi Bziebarth, overall it's a good writing site. Just that they do not pay upfront payment for international writers, so we lose out on a chance to make upfront money. The difference in income is quite substantial for those who can make upfront, and for us who cannot get the upfront money. I learn that there is a writer who can make more than $40 per day for just page views. I think if you take into consideration his upfront, and performance bonus, he must be making more than three thousand dollars per month.
