I have been having some bad luck with upfront payments on Associated Content. I was wondering if anyone knew of any other legit article sites that offer upfront payment? I'm looking for something that allows writers to keep the rights to their work and write about various topics.
I know of Demand Studios, but I heard it is hard to get into. I'm not sure if anyone here writes for them? Is it any good? I've heard mixed reviews on them, but that was this past summer.
Then there is BrightHub, but I am not sure if I can come up with article that fit their categories. :-/
I usually write about products (to buy; not reviews) and crafts, with other topics here & there. Bukisa is great for writing about whatever you want. My Adsense has been doing well on there too. But until I can find a job, I need something with upfront payments.
Thank you!

If you have an Ipod or Iphone I know of a site that pays you in seconds.

No problem, if you find a site that you can write articles and get paid upfront I liked to know also.

Why are you having bad luck with AC's upfront payments? Is it because they haven't paid you?
You are familiar with their upfront payment guidelines, correct?

Regardless, you can still publish at AC and earn PPV.
Remember that when you receive an upfront payment, you are granting the payee exclusive royalty-free rights to use your content, even though you still hold the copyright. If you publish without upfront payment, just PPV, you usually maintain a little more control over the content. This is usually standard procedure with any contributor site.

I have been getting a lot of declines lately. When I get an upfront offer, they're pretty good with paying. I just get worried when I see a lot of declines.
I definitely still publish and promote my articles. I actually have a few display-only articles I want to work on soon. :)
I didn't realize that (with the rights and upfront payment), thanks for letting me know!

Article sites that are upfront.... HMM..
If you fancy having a go at something.. I am currently with a site that is easy to use, articles are reviewed and published and all you have to do is get the links of your articles or posts put everywhere to be viewed! If you fancy you can have a look at my article on it...
Add me and we can chat about it more xx
