Associated content is actually not going to pay its readers any big amount. Not even 1 percent of what they earn from their authors.

Tune - Writing the Cyber Highway Fri, 01 Feb 2008 18:14:00 +0000 http://crayonwriter.com/2008/01/09/associated-content-and-other-ventures/#comment-7199 I never tried AC, but I did go ahead and try CC (<a href="http://www.constant-content.com/?aref=13656">Constant Content</a>). The difference between the two is you just "park" your articles on CC (upload them and leave them there for buyers to peruse) and you can select "Best Offer" to represent your sale, along with your chosen price or you can just choose a price and leave it at that until it sells. I was skeptical, but I've already sold five articles. Granted, I'm not rich yet but these are literally articles I've had sitting in my files collecting dust. The key is to only sell with "Usage rights" and that means you can sell the same article again and again to different Editors/Website owners. It's pretty neat. You can sell photos as well. There are just different submission guidelines for each category. Also, once you're an Author and are listed as such, the buyer can contact you for private requests. Some writers have received up to $350 for articles through private requests. Starting out, you may only sell a piece for $5 - $50. Not too, too bad. :-) I am pleased so far and wish you the best should you decide to try them out. Smiles, Michele I never tried AC, but I did go ahead and try CC (Constant Content).

I'll probably just use it on one of my blogs when the time is right. I'll check out Work It, Mom! and see how that goes. Or feel free to report back to us to let us know how it worked out. Hi Angela.

I can definitely get more other places. If I were someone who just sat around all day writing articles for the heck of it, then it wouldn't be a problem I guess. Or if I had a whole bunch of articles I'd been sitting on for years. But to go out of my way to write an article for a few dollars isn't a good use of my time. They say my articles are too broad or too common. Oh well. I gave it a try and didn't waste too much time. Hi Opal. Yeah, I’m not that happy with the payment. I can definitely get more other places.
