I am new in associated content and have not published there yet. I already read their FAQ but didn't find an answer to my question.
My mother in-law who lives with me wants to submit articles there too. Of course she will have another name, another username and a different paypal account attached to her own bank. But I am not sure if multiple accounts from the same houshold are allowed. Of course she can write under my name but it is better if she has her own account.
Do you know if different people living in the same house can have different accounts in associated content? Thank you for your time.

I don't see why not...I have been writing there for a while now and have never seen anything that would state that you couldn't. I work for some other bigger companies as well and know that they allow multiple people from the same household work for them.
Since Associated Content is set up where you are picking your own things to write about - it is not like you are competing with someone else for work. It wouldn't matter if you are writing ten articles a day or the two of you each write 5 from the same household.
The only thing I WOULD suggest though is each having your own paypal account to be paid through so that there are no complications there.
Good Luck!!!

Thank you Jenny.
If that is possible, would you be kind enough to tell me which are the bigger companies that you write for?

My two biggest clients (the ones that are my main income I'm not allowed to disclose...but - I do also work with these companies and can say that they are great to work for. They don't pay the "biggest bucks" but pay is better then what you will get on Associated Content.
BUT - I would HIGHLY suggest that you get at least 3 well written articles on Associated Content simply because it is very easy to link to them to show examples of your writing work (which will need down when you apply to companies)
Content Gurus
http://www.content-gurus.net/
Look under the drop down boxes for the link to apply as a freelance writer. If you are accepted then you will be able to pick from sets of articles that their clients need completed. These are keyword articles but Content Gurus is great at giving training material on what they expect from you and your articles. They pay weekly through paypal. The downfall is that the pay's are a month behind which means what I am writing this week - I will not be paid for until a month from now. So your first few weeks you will be without pay but once your first pay hits you will get paid every single week.

The work is sort of steady enough...pay is not the best but again, it is better then Associated Content. They pay once a month....everything that you write and gets approved up to the 5th of the month goes on one invoice - request your payment by the 5th and you are paid by the 10th at the latest. It hasn't ever taken them more then 2 or 3 days to pay me though. It is a great place to have for those days you don't have much else to do.
Each of these places have keyword articles that are not that hard to write. The word count is easy and you can pick the topics you want to write about. This can help you cut down on research time which means you will make more money in the end.
Good Luck!!!!!
