Who writes for AC?

January 11, 2009 11:48am CST
I was just wondering which of my friends (and others) write on AC? I have just joined AC and am finding it great fun. I have loads of content which I hope to be submitting in the future, but because I live out of the US I am unable to submit it for Upfront Payment Review which is a bit of a bummer! If you write there under the same name, or a different name, please let me know, I'd love to follow you and to have you following me and my progress. My username/byline is 'Cosmicxpress'. Alternatively, if you don't already write there, but think it could be a good idea to get paid for your articles/information, then let me know and I can PM you some detaisl and a link to join up. Hugs to everyone and please let me know your details. Violetdreams

Hi Violetdreams, I am a memeber but I haven't written anything but I do read a lot of articles other mylotters write and comment on, one person actually wrote a story about myself and my daughter and our experiences with the spirit of a girl called Amy. If you are in the UK why not try Helium. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Violetdreams, I don't write on either of them and to be quite honest I can't remember what my user name is but possibly Ellie333 same as here or it could be my full name which we are not allowed to post here. I was trying to look for the link for the story, but I think it comes under ghost stories and was written in October just before Halloween, the little girl is called Amy but can't remember if the name is in the title or not. It was very interesting reading especially as it was about part of my life. Hope you managed to find it. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi Ellie I managed to find the story (which I still have to read) and your name is there (if it is correct) so I searched for you and for ellie333 and can't find you either way - guess your username is different. No matter, I was going to make you a favourite so I could follow your writing, but if you don't write there ... Anyway, I'm off to sort out dinner for the kids and hopefully will get a chance to read the story later.

Hi Ellie What is your AC username - I will look for you and add you as a favourite. Wow, the story you mention sounds interesting, how did the person know what had happened to you and your daughter - I guess you told them hey? Do you write on Helium Ellie? Under what username? Thanks Violetdreams

Hi there! I am also a member of Associated Content but I live outside of the US too so I do not qualify for upfront payments. Are you part of Helium? They offer upfront payments dependant on how many writing and rating stars that you have and you get paid at the end of the month, $0.50 per article for one writing star, $1.00 for two writing stars and so on as long as you have at least one rating star. I prefer Helium to AC as I find that it pays better and also faster. There are competitions that you can write for and I haven't won as yet, I hope to at some point! There is also the Marketplace where you can write for quite large payments - $16 for 500 words is just one example of one that I have recently written for. Anyway, I hope you are having fun with AC and maybe give Helium some thought. You can only refer members by email but if you want to sign up under me, just give me a shout and let me know! Kim x

Hi there Missberlee I have added you as a favourite on AC and will be reading your articles. I have also had a look at Helium, it looks interesting but I need to have a good look at it and then find another 10 hours in each day. I move house in 2 weeks and am up to my ears in boxes at the mo so not much time for writing I'm afraid. Happy writing. Violetdreams

I have been writing for AC for two years now. I write a lot of lifestyle-type stuff, about dogs and gardening, decorating, alternative therapies, etc. I also have a home-based business as a secondhand merchant so I also write about that, about how to take care of antiques and collectibles. My particular interest is in Fire-King and other vintage glassware. I know you will enjoy AC. My pen name there is J. E. Davidson.

Hi Jill I have found you and have added you as a favourite and will be making my way through your articles. You sound like a very interesting person. I am currently waiting for my first 2 articles to be published and then I have loads more to upload once we get going. Thank you for your response. Violetdreams

I write on AC and love it. Although I haven't been active, except for reading and rating since October, when hubby was diagnosed with lung cancer. I am going to start writing again this month...actually this week. I will subscribe to your content and hopefully you will read and rate mine as well and subscribe. I like your name for AC, very unique. Mine is my name Cindi Starr. I'll read and rate your content later today. Here's to happy writing and reading. Cindi

Hi Creative (Cindi) Thanks for contacting me and letting me know your AC username. I have had a look at your articles and have added you as a favourite - I will be reading and rating. I'm sorry to hear about your hubby - that must have been an awful blow for you. How are you doing? I will be keeping an eye open for your articles. I have only just joined AC so don't have any content just yet - I'm still waiting for them to be published though. Hopefully in the next few days. Be strong, all the best for 2009. Violetdreams

Hi Violetdreams! I write on AC under the same username as here, and have published quite a lot of content in the time I've been there, which must be a good two years now. I shall look you up when I'm next in there because as you're outside the US, the same as me, you get paid for page views. Brightest Blessings and much success in AC.

Hi Darkwing I have found you and have made you a favourite. I will be checking out your articles when I find 5 minutes - promise. As yet, I have submitted 2 articles and am currently waiting for them to be published.... so we will see. Once I get something published, I have loads of articles which I can publish, it is just a question of finding the time. Violetdreams

They should be published soon. I didn't seem to have to wait long for mine but then, I suppose AC has grown some since two years or so ago. Thank you for adding me! I shall look you out when you get published, my friend.

Hi VioletDreams -- I use AC and it's fabulous! My permalink is: www.associatedcontent.com/users/34118/maureen_rousseau@html In college, I used to publish my term papers after the semester had ended, with the support of my professors. I've even had students who take the class after me cite my work as a valid source in some of their research papers later on. It's nice to know that all that hard work didn't end with graduation! Calls for content can be fun too, it's more of a journalistic/review feel and I like being able to contribute what people want to read. I just checked out your CP page - good stuff you've got there! i feel like articles for family/kid activities get a lot of hits, hopefully this rings true for you! keep it up and good luck!
