Increase Your Associated Content Upfront Offer Amounts

I've been writing for Associated Content for over 2 years and have 2,200 plus articles up on the website. I've seen the days when AC would offer 10 bucks for a video on practically anything. There would be 8 bucks, 10 bucks, and 12 buck call for content offers. Those days are gone. Many writers complain that AC pays so little now for articles after they went to the page view bonus money.

But look around the Internet. Associated Content has the market on paying upfront for articles. You don't have to struggle with the quality of your writing. You don't even have to worry that much about SEO content of your article. Trust me, it won't affect your upfront money offers for AC.

I've experimented with niche topics, SEO, keyword density, promotion and so forth. AC pretty much as a budget that it gives to each writer for each day.

One thing I did notice was when my page view ratio to the number of articles I have submitted on AC jumped, I got slightly higher offers (about a buck). When that number drops, my offers start going downhill faster. The solution? Submit free recipes, poems and other items. Your regular following will give you a few page views.

Someone once suggested you write 1 page view only (or freebie) article for AC for every 10 articles you write.. ie 10 percent.

My clout has not affected my earnings.

How much I comment hasn't affected my page view bonus money. So far, consistently for about a year, my page view money has monthly been within 10 to 30 bucks of the other months, regardless if I comment or submit 1 article or 500 for the month.

Bottom line.. increase your page view ratio and get higher upfront offers from Associated Content. You can do it the long and tedious way of subscribing, commenting, promoting and back linking or you can submit 10 to 20 percent free articles (page view only) to increase your ratio.

Quick Secret to Supplement Your eHow Income

I'm not into doing a lot of opinions. Can you tell? Ha, ha. That was a joke if you're new to my blog!

I've spent a lot of time writing articles for eHow. The problem is, most articles don't start to see anything significant in money until they're at least 3 months old. Well, I haven't been there a full 3 months yet. How can a work at home freelance writer pay bills and wait for their library to build and age on eHow?

Also, if you write articles from home for eHow, you'll discover that they pay monthly. This means you have to really plan your family budget and finances to be able to wait for one paycheck. Many of us, myself included, are used to getting money at least bi-weekly for writing adventures and to live. You can't just tell the bill collectors, oh please wait. I'm going to get my eHow deposit soon.

So, what is my big secret to supplement your eHow income? If you are a U.S. writer, go and sign up for an account with Associated Content. Then go to your local grocery store website. Pick out food products that you've tried and cooked before. Pick out cleaning products that you've used. Write a 425 word review about the products. AC will pay you upfront money three days a week after they make the offers.

Initially, you won't get high offers. As your clout builds (through page views) you'll get more offers. Review Stream pays $2 maximum for a product review (electronics and meds-- usually). With AC you should expect to get a minimum of $3. Plus, with review stream the minimum payout is $50.

Figure out how much money you need to pay your upcoming bills that are in the near future. Figure 5 business days for AC to make and offer and 1 business day more to see the money in your paypal account. That will then let you know roughly how many product reviews you need to crank out and submit each day to get the money for a specific bill.

Write an eHow article. Then go write 2 product reviews. That's the secret to faster money to supplement your eHow income while you're new to the eHow community, like myself.
