Add Associated Content to your Freelance Writing Repertoire
I felt it necessary to add Associated Content to my list of freelance writing sites. While I personally haven’t done well with them The fact that I’ve only written one or maybe two articles since I joined last year might have something to do with it.

Don’t let my inactivity deter you. There are writers who are earning money consistently with Associated Content. By joining the community, writers have the ability to be paid up front for original work or earn a residual income based on page views and article popularity.
Associated Content also has these things called “Calls for Content.” I’ll have to defer the Calls for Content explanation to the Associated Content site itself . My goal here is to make you aware of the opportunity, but unfortunately, I can’t give you too much first hand experience or knowledge.
Personally, I found the site rather confusing, that’s why I never really did much with them, but don’t let my confusion stop you. There is money to be made at Associated Content.
I too signed up to AC earlier this year and have found myself a bit baffled by the site but mainly disappointed by the fact that non-US citizens get an upfront payment for articles (something that wasn’t apparent when I signed up). But even if I was able to qualify for $1.50, why would I?
I write regularly on Brighthub who pay $10 per article (at least 350 words) as well as here at Today.com. AC and other low paying sites could quite easiy see their most skilled expert writers moving to Brighthub and similar sites if they don’t revise their payment structure
I’ve not checked out Brighthub as yet. I guess I’ll put that one on my “To Do” list.
Thanks!
