Hello myLot and Fellow Writers,
I am thrilled beyond thrill. As a brand new member of Associated Content, I just submitted my very first article this past Thursday, 5 days ago. Yesterday I received an email from AC letting me know that they enjoyed it and that it was published. Today, my upfront payment was sent to my Paypal.
This is really cool. My boyfriend is excited, I'm excited, even my cats are excited!!!
I wanted to share my excitement with the myLot community and encourage everyone to follow through on your goals. Keep plugging away on whatever you're working on. Sooner or later great things will happen.
This is just a beginning but it's a wonderful beginning.

It's always exciting to get your articles published! Congratulations. Share your AC name with us and we can all enjoy your writing as well. I have been on there for two years. Can't really believe it has been so long. It is always nice to get published even after a couple of years.

Same here, congrats and look forward to another and another. Once you get the bug and get an audience it gets easier and more profitable every time.
Congrats and keep it up, eh?

Thank you so much mommaj and valentinesdiner. (I think this will only reach one of you. I have to figure out how to respond to two comments in a row. Oh well.) I appreciate your words. My AC name is Bette Lynn. Let me know what your name is also, I'd like to read your work as well.
Besides the cold bug that I now have, lol, I do believe I'm coming down with the righter's bug as well. I certainly hope so. It is a lot of fun.
I wish you all the best!!!

Congratulation! I am happy for you. I remember how exited I was when my first article was being published. AC is a good site, but since I'm not from US, I'm not qualified for upfront payment. I do write articles, on a site named Triond.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Upfront payments are a nice perk but you can really start earning on page views as well.
I've heard of Triond. Do you like them?

I personally like it. It is relatively easy to get your articles accepted there. I have been there since last november, so I can say I enjoy the site.

Thanks shebee, it sure was a nice little perk. I didn't really know what to expect since it was my first one. It was a neat surprise.
Just keep on writing and submitting. It all adds up.

Congratulations! I remember when I first got my first article published by AC. I was so happy that day because I worked really hard writing the article and it paid off. I have a few other articles published but I've only received an upfront payment from my first article. Keep up the good work and good luck with your future articles.

Thank you so very much. I think we all remember our first published article. Congratulations to you too for your work. I always enjoy hearing experiences of people who have worked hard and have had it pay off like in your case.
I will try to keep up the good work. You do the same. And I, too, wish you success.
By the way, I love the Sponge Bob. That is Sponge Bob isn't it?!?!?!

Your enthusiasm has got me all excited for you too!
I remember when AC published my first article and they paid me too?! And then they paid me for another one! Yes, it is thrilling even if it isn't a lot of money, to know that you actually got paid for doing something you like. You're a paid published writer now! It is a beginning with no end in sight.
Keep on getting it, betlynfrnds! *high fives*

Congratulations my friend, I remember how excited I am when my first article was published online. It's just funny to realize my many mistakes on my first article. It's a sports article and it was "Boxer A is great because he is this and that, he defeated Boxer B, Boxer C and so on and so forth, I really think he's great, he has fast hands, quick reflexes and superb punching power" LOL
However, I feel proud that somehow I improved.

Thank you so much, louierrific. You made a very key point. The more we do anything, the more we improve. That is the process. It is neat to look back and reflect on what we did 'once upon a time'. You should feel very proud of your improvement. Also, feel proud that you're staying with it and not quitting. That's very important.
I wish you continued success.
