Anyone make money doing this?

[herm4]

I just wrote my first article for Associated Content. Anyone have experience with this site?

learning to live well without spending alot of money

Yes, I have in the past. I have not submitted anything to them in a long time though. When I started writing I had a good response and would receive average offer of $8 an article. The tone of the site changed, however, and I started only getting offers of $3 per article or rejections saying the information was duplicated. They started being big on drawing traffic to your articles - which I didn't have the time to "work". Anyway, it is worth a try. Keep me posted.

Thanks for your reply! Do you remember how long it took to be published once you submitted an article?

I too have had fairly okay success with this. I started out making much more, but as the months passed I was making less and less...perhaps more people writing for them, who knows. I have found that if I diversified a bit and wrote for different companies, I was still funneling a fair amount of money back to me.

well so far of the 4 articles I wrote, two have been rejected, two are pending. I think my writing career is going down the tubes quickly.......

time frane

In the beginning AC stated a time frame of 7 days for responding to an article. As with other areas that changed, so did that as time went on. It began to be an average of 10-14 days for any response and sometimes an article might even be overlooked. If you are really interested in writing, and don't already have your own site and blog going, I hear that is a good way to go and a good way to make money. Don't get discouraged if it is something you like doing - keep on trying.
