Hi. First of all I'd like to say, I know that sometimes people get annoied with discussions like this, and I'm sorry. But I am not doing so well at AC, and I don't know why. I've heard so many people say that they make a ton of money on AC, me...I've only made one cent! So if anyone could check out my articles it would really help me out and I would appreciate it... Also, if anyone can give me tips to make me more successful at AC, I would really appreciate that! :) Thanks! http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/116303/lilyofthethorns.html

Okay viewed some of your work...The Outcast and Sheridan are prose/poetry category and never earn money, just what you earn for views by people of them.. The Animal Rights article...were you told to resubmit but for performance bonus and non-exclusive...if so, know why? That would be considered an op/ed....that is opinion or editorial and they aren't paid for upfront payment either..also, that article is kind of short...what you wrote was basically your opinion about animal rights issues rather than having any real facts behind it. Now I'm crossing my fingers about it, but I just did a lengthy elaboration of the puppy mill industry and cited sources of references for it, so wouldn't be considered an "opinion" article.

Yes, I was told to resubmit it. I didn't know you didn't get upfront payment for articles that are just your opinions. That clears up a lot! Thanks :) So, what kind of articles will get me upfront payments? Like movie reviews and stuff?

Well the only thing I can suggest is if you look at some of my articles and it might give you a better idea of what they are looking for... http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/67665/pyewacket.html

Thank you for the link. I looked over your articles. Where do you get all your information for the articles like, "The Dangers of Artificial Sweetners" and the article about the childhood vaccinations. Do you just get information from the internet and write articles with it? Or are you just really smart about all this kind of stuff? =D

first time I've heard of the AC , and I guess that's a paying program since you give it all this important , what takes my attention is that a poster , had mentioned that it will pay you only $3 or $4 for that , it seems like great site , if it's always about writing I'll subscribe there too and tell what will happen later.

Yeah, for certain articles you will get upfront payments of 3-4 bucks. Maybe more, I'm not sure. I haven't gotten any yet! =P lol. If you do join let me know the link to your articles so I can read em for you! =P Thanks. I would really appreciate it if you would consider joining AC under me. It's okay if you'd rather not. Thanks either way! :) http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=116303

I have been paid more for articles, I have received offers as high as $12 to $15 for articles but average around $5 to $5.50 per article.

Hi, I am a member of ac also, seems like some articles I do go well and others bomb out. I have a variety of intrests, seems like the gardening ones that I write about do better than the childrens articles that I write about. So I know what you mean, the ones that I really like to write on end up in the library for performance bonus. The best advice I can give you is to try writing on several different subjects, link the post out on them, evaluate which articles are doing better and go from there. Hope this has been helpful. I will visit your ac now. goodluck.

Well, I'm not sure what else I can write about. I know the most about animals and writing. I just submitted and article about how people can find ideas for stories, but I don't know how well that will do. I like to read, I could probably write a lot of book reviews, but I don't know if I can get upfront payment for them because they might be opinionated articles.

Do you have other intrests that you would like to write about. I have about 4 things that I write about on ac, I get a little perturbed when the ones that I invest alot of time on gets put out for performance only. I see some folks have posted some good suggestions as far as setting up your initial payment. I always put it out there as an ac exclusive first, if they choose only to put it in the library for performance then I make it non-exclusive. Hope this makes sense. From what I see on you content, I think if you wrote on a few different subjects it may work out better for you.
