Have you tried Associated Content to make money writing?

With all of the PTC sites and other ways of making small change daily on the internet that I've been trying, I ended up stumbling upon an article in a blog that mentions Associated Content, which is a site that will pay you for articles that you write. Apparently, you can sell them the rights to your article for about 20cents, or keep the rights so that you can post on other similar sites and make money by selling it to them. Has anybody tried Associated Content? If so, have you been paid? How much for each article?

Yes, that is true about AC. I have an account there but I am not so into AC. I don't know but I just feel that it is not for me. I like factoidz better. You can write anything. You can even submit your recipe. Some friends are making money at AC but I still go for factoidz. $4 for activity bonus? That's awesome. =)

I might have to give that one a try...what do you mean by $4 activity bonus? On average, how much is paid for a well written recipe?

Factoidz minimum is $1 but if you write more than 3 and gets views, the amount will accumulate, then when you submit again you will get extra $4 for that submission. I only write one article a month and my previous articles are still getting views that accumulate to $11 including that $4 bonus. Some members that are on my list of friends will submit 10 articles a day. Yes! A day! Me, I get $11 or $12 a month and I am happy with that. =)

I will have to look into factoidz too. I only make about 3 dollars a month from Associated Content right now from views. Thanks for the tip.

I am in Associated Content as well though I do not make much money there. I have to really sit down and read through all the rules there. Maybe on Saturday I will time to do that. Thanks for reminding me of the site.

Today I received an email from a friend who reminded me of the website. I was a member of the site one year ago, but didn't make any money. Just now I searched the site again and found it's very difficult for outsite american writer to make money. It's not fair. they should not differ the writers from the countries. don't like it.

I think AC is pretty difficult to make money. But as far as I know this is a genuine site. But it takes time for you to settle. I initially had a account but was not able to continue with this site.

I already tried the site. I think I already submitted 2-3 articles. I didn't make more because I was expecting that I will be payed. After 2 or 3 weeks, I realized that I still haven't got any payments. That is because I am not a legal resident of the United States. Too bad I cannot have an upfront payment.
