What do you wish you knew about Associated Content when you first started?

Hi AnythngArt, I wish I would have known how to write when I started AC. I decided not to look back at my first years writing, because I didn't start to improve noticeably until a couple of months ago. LOL I think I would have been a lot happier with my earlier writing had I known spell and grammar checker on my word program did not work. LOL

I wish I know more about seo techniques, so that my earlier articles have better potential for long term passive income. Those articles hardly attract page views outside AC. I think I have to rewrite most of the articles to attract readers from search engines. But I'm too lazy to do so. Especially when some of the earlier articles are college courseworks, and I'm too lazy to think about the amending the 2,000 to 3,000 words coursework

I wish that I had known that over time my writing would get a whole lot better because now I am terribly embarrassed by how terrible some of my earlier AC articles are. I know it sounds shallow of me but that is seriously my biggest "wish I knew" wish!

I haven't had time to write any articles for almost two years, but I wish I'd known that the ones I wrote about food would have the most readers. Now if only I could think of something else to write about food.

If I knew, I'd have registered to write for them way early. I feel that the library of articles there are just awesome and I'm like the growing mushrooms, in a way. Would love to add more articles in the future, and I hope that I'll be able to squeeze in time.

I think I would have liked to know what to expect with the upfront offers. I'm curious about the article the other writer posted; I'll have to check it out.

Well, I think when we all joined Associated Content there are things we all wish we could have known. And since sometimes it is hard to get an article accepted for pay, there are times even yet when we all still wonder. But one of the main things I guess for me, is how they pay, and what types of articles pay the best and also how getting people to read and comment back to our articles we have wrote there help the most as well.

I read everything I could about Associated Content and about writing for them when I first joined the site, so I can't really say there's anything I wish I had known. The only thing I really wish is that I could have skipped the learning phase of understanding SEO, and tightening up my writing. But that's me, and not AC. I suppose I could also have paid more attention to a few things that help with getting reads, like using subtitles and more than one category. There's always more you can learn about writing for the web, and the faster you learn it, the faster your page views and pay will go up.

I wish that I would have known what kind of articles that they accepted for upfront payment. I know that I submitted a lot of articles for upfront payment that didnt get accepted when I first started. Now I know what kind of articles that they accept for upfront payment. If I would have known at the beginning I wouldnt have wasted so much time.

If I knew, I'd have registered to write for them way early. I feel that the library of articles there are just awesome and I'm like the growing mushrooms, in a way. Would love to add more articles in the future, and I hope that I'll be able to squeeze in time.
