Mortal Human

Get your write on, fool.

Are you somewhat decent at writing articles? I get asked about making money online often enough that I will begin covering it here from the start. Listen up, there is opportunity wherever there is love. If you have some things to share with people but you are not ready to dive into blogging full time, why don’t you take a look at Associated Content? You know, it’s not such a bad site. I’ve written a few articles for them, and I will be doing so all this week because my money is hurting bad and so is my wardrobe.

Associated Content will pay you between roughly $3 and $20 dollars for each article you write for them. Not only do they pay up front (US Citizens), they also pay for performance. You start out making$1.50 per thousand views of your articles, videos, poetry, music, or images, and it goes up with time. There is a little step ladder of levels that you progress through as your articles become mature with time. You can get all of the information you need about that at the site.

Associated Content is not a new site, either. They have a really high page rank and can be great for generating some traffic to your own sites, if you have any. Maybe you want to teach people to host WordPress blogs. Maybe you’ve set up a site selling some screencasts on the topic. You can write a related article on Associated Content – for example, how to install plugins to WordPress – and preface it with how you “won’t cover installation here as this great set of videos can help: Insert your link”. Instant traffic, and you’re still adding value to the people who are paying you, in this case, Associated Content.

I’m putting this here because I’ve been asked about this lately and a friend recently mentioned that she would like to write articles. In my heart of hearts, I know that the best way for someone to get online and start earning is to hit an article directory that pays and to go wild until they find something they really enjoy enough to start a blog about it. I told you my posts wouldn’t always be so serious, but I am serious that if you need some extra scratch, or if you have been wasting your time writing for free, you need to check out and sign up to Associated Content. They pay 3 times a week, on time, and have a thriving community. Stop letting Myspace and Facebook leach you. Start making some money.
