How Do You Feel about Associated Content?

Associated Content isn't so bad. The better you are, the more you get paid, so I don't see how that hurts anyone. If you don't write so well, then of course, you're not going to get paid so well. So, how that hurts anyone is beyond me. I like that it's all freelance work, and you can write whenever you feel like it, even if you don't feel like writing for a month, you can still come back, write and get paid for it. I just like all the options that are available. It's definitely a nice site to get started with in my opinion.

I like Associated Content. I like the layout; it looks just great and there are some interesting writers there. However, I'm from the UK so don't write to make money, just for fun: http://associatedcontent.com/carlhalling

I have been a member of Associated Content for a long time but have never published an article. I think I am just afraid of being rejected the first time I do submit something. I do some writing for gather. What are some other online writing groups that pay?

I havn't yet submitted much but i think its a good platform for all 'us' amateur writers. Although i'd submitted just about 5 articles,which they'd published all, but i still don't understand their payment systems.Hope they pay at the end of the month.

I like it and I have been paid by them for some of the articles. It is hit or miss when it comes to an upfront payment but it's not bad. I take each thing as a learning experience. I've only been with it not even 2 months and I've got stuff published. It just takes time and patience. I don't know if it does hurt "real" writers or not, I couldn't really say to tell you the truth. All I can say is that it is a good program and could be used to make an income if a lot of articles are written and accepted for upfront payments. To continue payment, it will take a 1000 views and that is up to you the person to figure that out how to get it promoted.

I just recently signed up with AC, so I'm not really sure what I think about it yet. I'm trying to get use to everything and find my way around. But great question, I can't wait to read o thers comments.

My Only problem with A.C is that they only pay U.s citizens. I went on suite 101.com and was there for a week but the editors there are right down nasty and abusive. I actually had to report them to the BBB.
