One of the best places to make a few bucks online is Associated Content. There you can submit text, video, and audio content for money. You can earn money in two different ways: upfront payments, and performance bonuses. Make sure you read and follow their submission guidelines.

AC is a legit company, and is based in Denver, CO. They have an excellent reputation, I have not found anyone claiming to have been scammed, not paid, or anything like that. I have made money at AC, after my next performance bonus payment I will have made over $300.00 there. If I had written more, I could have made more.

They are good at making offers (or declining) your submitted content in a timely manner. My longest wait has been 10 days. You always have the choice to decline an offer that Ac has made for your content, you even have the option to edit and resubmit. However, in most cases you will not get a higher offer after you have edited the content, so just accept the offer. After you accept an offer, it can take up to three days for AC to Paypal you the money. Performance Bonuses may seem small ($1.50 per 1000 views), but they do add up once you get some content published.

Before you AC will pay a cent, you must print, sign, and send an independent contractors agreement. This is explained in detail when you sign up.

As a writer for AC, you will get a CP (content producer) page. On this page you can link to your blog(s) or website and any other companies or groups you are affiliated with, along with a short bio. This is the only place you are allowed to put personal and referral links, and there is a limit. Do not think of AC as a place for you to get free advertising.

From experience, I know that the best way to get any questions you may have answered is to go the Admin’s CP page and use the ‘contact CP’ button. Of course, you will be waiting for your answer for a while. I have waited as long as three weeks. You can use the forum, but there you get answers from other CP’s. Every time I have tried to get answers though the forum, I get frustrated at the bombardment of CP’s giving non-answers and complaining about how their content is getting declined.

The Secret Of My Success

I have found a great way to increase the chances of a $ offer for my content, and I have never shared it, until now! Before you submit any content to AC, use their search box and search for content on the subject your content is about. If there is other content like yours, read it. Check out your competition. I usually do not submit content on any subject that has more than one page of results. If I do, I make sure that mine is different from the others and offers more information. By doing this, I have increased my earnings. This will also help with page views and ratings.
