I got my first official offer from AC today. Yippeeee..I am so excited. The article was on Mesothelioma, I had 2 relatives die very recently from it and it was on my mind and it sold. Thanks to all that helped me. Does everyone get this excited? It has been a dream of mine for many years to write something for publishing and money. I can't believe I did it !

First of all congratulations to you! I've joined associated content either but as I got to know it's only for the one who live in United Stated and United Kingdom I left using it because I'm from Pakistan. Anyways, I know you are the one who can do it, your topic is unique and I really appreciate you! I have been from four years for a local web portal but did not paid a single penny for it but I have gained a lot of experience in this regard, so, now I can write article for anyone. Once again, I want to congratulate you on your success! Have a good day, happy earnings.

Congratulations! I always get excited when something of mine gets published, too. :) Do you mind sharing the length? I would be interested in reading your article. Posting your link in here is a great way to get extra traffic to your articles as well. There are so many writers on AC that are also members here.

You did it. Now you are on the Associated Content payroll. I love seeing my articles get published, and there is some quality control because they don't accept everything. I try and write one every other day, but don't always get there. It's a good way to work on your writing. You won't get rich, but it's a nice reward for hard work.

Congratulations! You deserve to get excited, and getting excited can only improve your chances of being published, because it encourages you to keep going. You inspire me to try for some magazine publishings as well. Good luck in your future writings!

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. Writing is something I am passionate about,yet, it does not pay the bills so I continue with my other passion of teaching. However, this summer, look out !! Thanks again!

Way to go! It is exciting, isn't it! I have been submitting to them for a little over a month and have had several articles published. Have you checked out Constant Content? The also accept submissions but it is structured a little differently. I think the earnings potential is better because you can set your own prices. If you want to check it out, here is my link: http://www.constant-content.com/?aref=8083

Congratulations! I know I get excited every time I log in and see and offer. I'm like a kid at Christmas. I've actually been paid more freelancing in other venues in the past, but I really like being able to write about what I want, when I want, and just put it out there and see what happens. I'll definitely check out your article!
