How would you feel if you earned $30 a day at AC?

April 13, 2009 7:31am CST
Do you think it is possible to earn $30 a day at AC just for page views alone. I mean for people below clout 7 this would mean getting a massive 20 000 page views a day. Do you think could you do it? I mean if you had 20 000 articles it would be easy as this would mean one page veiw per article, but what if you only had 1000 articles, then you would need 20 views of each article, and 100 articles would need 200 views. The reason I ask is because I seen in the forum recently someone saying they earned $30 a day on page views alone. How many page views do you average per day? My best day was 303 views. I was pleased as I only have 33 articles!

I am a level 10 there and don't make $30 a day but some do. I would love to make $30 a week. I make between $20 and #25 a week at this point. That is on pageviews. If I do lots for upfronts then it goes up of course.

340 articles over 600,000 hits. I have some articles with over 60,000 views and quite a few with under 100. So it is hit or miss with me.

You are earning alot per week for such a small number of articles. I know some people who have twice the number of articles and earn half the amount you do. It all depends on the niche, keywords used and popularity I guess. I shall search for you on AC and read some of your articles.

That is a great amount to earn on page views per week. I dont even get that on AC for a whole month. How many articles do you have there to earn so much?

I don't have any idea how many views I get on a daily basis. I don't track it because it isn't many and probably isn't worth my time to do. I would be ecstatic if I could make $30 a day off of Associated Content just from page views. I guess having thousands of pieces that you wrote there would be the easiest way to get page views like that, but that is a lot of writing!

The great thing on the page views is that once you HAVE written lots of article the money just rolls in and you can relax a bit.

I check every day how many page views I get. I am a little addicted I think, lolol. I love watching my earnings increase, it makes it all worthwhile

haha, Heartbreak loves to write finance articles, that's why the obsession with figures. Fortunately she doesn't go as far as to formulate the earnings. If using the finance formula for time value of money, should be able to do a projection of future income from page views.

I would be absolutely ecstatic if this happened for me. However, I don't see it happening anytime soon. I am up to a clout 4. Would love to make clout 10 by the end of the year but we will see. Anyway, yeah I think it is possible, but takes alot of time and hardwork first.

Right now I dont think I could make thirty dollars a day in page views. Right now I am making eighteen to twenty eight dollars a month in page views. I am not sure how many page views I average. I just went from clout level nine to clout level ten so I am hoping that I will make more money now. I would really love to make that much money a day though.

Congrats on reaching Clout 10! I am on Clout 8 with a long way to go until I reach level 9. I used to be much more active on Y!CN/AC and made about $20 or so each month on page views, but I don't write or comment there as much as I used to and now I only make about $6-$8 a month there. I would LOVE to make $30 a day on page views alone, but I don't see that happening. At this point I would be happy making a dollar or $2 a day in page views! LOL I want to reach Clout 9 within the next two months and plan on writing more there and becoming more active. Wish me luck!

Obviously the more articles you have the easier it is to get to a target of 20000 page views but would say that even then you would need some very special articles. I know that a member of Helium made over a thousand dollars in one day from one article because it went viral with massive page views from all around the world. It is though the only case of a written article truly going viral, something that is much more common for visual items.

Yes I know you are talking about the article, 'Credit cards - dirty little secrets'. What am achievement and surprise that was to that writer. He must have had over 100 000 page view to achieve such success. I agree the more articles you have the easier it will be. Articles filled with important and highly searched keywords will also get more page views. I am spending more and more time writing and will hopefully make a dollar a day on Helium and AC for my page views soon.

I had not considered earning on AC solely from visual items. Can you really do that?
14 Apr 09
Yes you can, many people upload pictures!!

The number of page views also depend on the length of articles. Between a single page short poem and a 5 pages short story, the short story will generate more page views. If a person upload all the photos of his/her annual holidays, that could easily translate to a great number of page views per day.

I always aim for at least 2 pages for my articles, although some are three pages long. I have just started submitting pictures too,and just uploaded 7 pictures of my holiday from last year. This should help to increase my page views. I want to be getting 1000 a day before long, but reckon I need at least 100 more articles before this happens. It should hopefully take me no more than three months to rech this target, but we say see.

Thanks. Did you like the pictures lol. Earnings are very slow to update today on AC so I cant check out how many page views I got on the ones from yesterday. I have only a few more to upload but will probably take lots more this summer. A few hundred should help me earn a decent amount. I am almost at payotu for AC this month, Id say with the PVs from yesterday and today I will have made payout. Yeh!!

I'm just finished commenting on your pictures. I'm not sure how the page views for pictures are counted, if 7 photos equal to 7 page views, then I just help you make 1.05 cents. Not a great amount! Hope you can upload a lot more.

I would like to be able to make that kind of money per day on just one site and still have time to make money on other sites as I might be able to earn enough online then to stay home. I have not done much on AC but have done and article or two on Helium, but I don't think that I have ever made even a dollar there. I wish I could do more.
14 Apr 09
Yes it is difficult to make a living working from home. Sometimes I lose motivation and stop writing for a few days and then other days I could write forever.

I do not need so much, I would like to have earn some money from this. 1. what currency processor does it use, paypal, alertpay, liberty reserve? 2. What is the minimum payout? Please advice.
14 Apr 09
I pays through paypal, and the payout is $1.50. In order to reach $1.50 you will need 1000 page views of your articles

That would be quite impressive! I would love to earn $30 a day in page views on AC, but I don't think it's feasible for someone like me with a clout level of 6. 20,000 seems like an awful lot! In order to get that, I would have to be mighty popular on the net! As of right now I don't keep track of how many page views I get each day, but I think I might start.
14 Apr 09
Clout 6 is good, I am still only clout 4 although if the page views ever update Id say I will got to clout 5. I am going to keep writing and check which articles get me the most page views and then write more on these areas.

I am trying to imagine how many hours it would take me to create all those articles to make all that money. Next week Spring break will be over and I will be spending less time posting to the various sites I have been contributing to. It would be great to get enough articles, clout and traffic to earn at least $50 a day but that will take a little work.
14 Apr 09
Yes $50 a day would be good. I imagine that without uploading several new articles daily this is not possible.

I think the best way to do it would be with a combination of different types of content like photos and video and so forth.

I am a 9 and have been writing for quite a long time. I average 500-700 page views a day. This brings me in around $24 a month, not a day. Susie. Susan S. on A.C.

I think it is possible but that depends on the quality of your articles and how interesting they are to be able to attract that much views...But of course, the more articles you have, the more page views you could accumulate , that is pretty obvious. So i think you should make more articles and make them as interesting as you possibly could in order to attract as much page views as you can...Usually the titles attract readers frist followed by the summary.. hope that helps...
