I started using AC just because I love to write, and blogging for the sake of blogging isn’t enough for me.

They accept any topic, all sorts of content, but they also have articles up for grabs, of which I have claimed two. One of those made it to their front page recently because of the quake.

I have written 3 articles… two assigned and so I was paid 4 bucks per article upon review. They paid via pay pal right away. And I market my posts so my pay per thousand monies is adding up. This is just for those three.

They also have incentive this month to write 5 and get paid a bonus 10 bucks. Articles don’t take too much time to write but siting sources sometimes does… however what was appealing to me was the residuals… that can potentially add up. Also you can choose to give them exclusive, non exclusive or no rights. You might not get paid per post that way but you will always make money on residuals according to page views.

I like it so far. But I am not dependent on it. It is however, great ebay shopping money for me right now.

I have a hard time believing this is even a debate. Writers should be paid for content when they make it, not when and if it gets popular enough.

I am a member of AC and I have over 700 views and I make pretty appalling income. It would be great if I could make more $ while still being able to write my articles…

I have made about $70 on Associated Content and about $50 on Helium. This is all from a couple hundred articles over a few months time. Another site I like is articlepanda.com, they don’t pay but allow you to link back to your site and the minimum word count is only 200 words. You can also try selling your writing on ebay in the form of ebooks. Hope this helps.

I like what you said to Jeff. I think they make money because people are desperate for ways to make a buck these days, and they will try to make any of these programs work. But the only one it helps out is the owner of the sites that publish the articles. It’s a cheap way for them to sift through submissions for the best content.

http://www.constant-content.com is definitely an option; I have used them in the past, but like AC better because you will at least get a yes or no answer on your articles. At constant-content your articles can sit for months on end if nobody wants to buy them…
