Anyone here happy writing at Associated Content?

Hi Laurie. I've only been with AC for a few months. I'm not very active there but I think if I was, I'd probably earn quite a bit from hits in residual income. I'm not a US resident so I don't qualify for upfront payments. Helium works better for me because they pay upfront payments and views. I also seem to get more hits on Helium than I do on AC. $2 per article is not bad considering international members dont even get that upfront payment. As for helium, for you to be able to get $2 per article in upfront payment, you need to write at least 200-300 articles if I can remember correctly. $2 doesnt sound very much but it does add up and definitely not laughable I Think. Money is still money, no matter how much or how little; some is always better than none. Thanks for sharing and happy mylotting.

Hi Laurie..congratulations for your 2nd month payout on AC..I also write there whenever I have time and I'm pretty new. I'm not eligible for upfront but only pv..I've reached payout 1 time since I've started and I agree with you that the earnings can be slow, but steady. I also think you should go with creation of your own site with your writings.

I have been writing at AC now for a while but not steady. For me I will write a few articles, then quit for a while and then go back. I am not making much from it but I have done some of their "assignments" and been paid $3 for some of them, $2 for others. I just have a hard time focusing so I can write an article that makes sense. I take several medicines that "fog" my brain a bit so I think that may be the problem. I try really hard though and I would like to have lots of decent articles so I can get decent page view payments each month. Right now I don't get much for page views but then I only have around one hundred articles and some of them are sort of stinky, the ones from the very beginning especially. I think my later ones are much better and the page views actually do reflect that. I don't see any money, whether from AC or other places, as being laughable at all. It must be someone who does not live on the edge who said that because every single dollar IN sure beats the alternative which is dollars going OUT. It took me almost a year to get that first residual income payment and I was very very excited by my $1.85!! LOL My daughter writes for AC also, she is the one who told me about it and she has way more articles published than I do, almost a thousand and her page view payments are much better each month. She writes regularly for AC, nearly every single day and her upfront payments are between $2 and $3, once in a while $4 (not much anymore though).

Hi i have been with Associated Content for the last two years. It has been a learning curve and my residual income has gone up month by month as i learn what works and what does not. I think it is not a waste of time to write for Associated Content because if you get the right articles then you could earn big. For example, I earned (I can only earn performance views and can not get upfront payments since I am international) 889 hits in one day for one article. This means I made about $1.48 for that one item in a day. It has been earning residual income since then but less. The thing is, articles are also cyclical, my christmas items do well at christmas and my black history stuff does well then also. Now my items on london are picking up due to the olympics coming up! I think it is well worth it.

Hi Lauriehomebusiness. Is there a certain form (ie.column) you have to write in? You can write about anything? Do you have to have a blog to write for them? What exacty is residual income? How long are your articles? Do they alway get approved? Where can I view an ie. of an article so I know what I would be getting myself into? How many articles are you expected to complete? I want to try this but I'm out of my comfort zone and, therefore, scared out of my wits. Is there alot of rejection to this?

I have just started there. I am literally in the process of learning all their guidelines, etc. I think maybe it is going to be good.

I have been paid by Associated Content several times. They have been prompt and paid in full. While this program may not be for everyone, no program is for everyone. Writing for them can be profitable but it does require some work and understanding of just what they want.

I've been writing for Associated Content just over a year now but will admit the first 6 months I did pretty much nothing :( There is no question the only way to make 'good money' on Ac is to submit a ton of articles or write regularly on hot topics. I don't do either so can't complain a bit about my earnings but they are certainly better than some I've seen. Your own web site and selling your own stuff is a great idea but truth is there are a million others doing the same thing and it is really difficult to compete with the big businesses like AC, Triond, and Helium unless you have a specialty that your really great at. I don't really count on the 'earnings' from AC but I have learned a ton of information there from other writters so it's helping me tremendously in that area which will God willing, pay off down the road.

Hi Laurie, I'm a member of Associated Content myself although I'm not really satisfied with their payment structure. I live in the UK so it doesn't really benefit me if you live in my part of the world. However, if you live in the States then there's the upfront payment which is really good. I'm not going to migrate to the States though just so that I can start receiving upfront payments for my writings! I keep my account open with them as I never know when I might want to submit an article. I have however changed my allegiance and have directed this now at Helium. I have over thirty articles published on Helium, mainly creative writing. In terms of payment structure I think that Helium is far better. I should start writing some more articles on that site, you have suddenly given me some inspiration! Andrew
