Associated Content: Recent Results
As mentioned in a few posts back, I am really starting to ramp up my production at Associated Content. And despite a lot of people saying that they have gotten tougher, I have actually found the exact opposite to be true. Over the past month, dating from May 15 to June 15, I have had quite the run of success.
Here are some of my statistics for the past month:
Articles submitted: 57
Articles accepted for payment: 47
Waiting for acceptance: 10
Total acceptance rate: 100%
Total payment received: $304.14
Highest offer: $8.50
Lowest offer: $4
Average offer: $6.47
Take a few minutes to compare these stats to the ones that I posted at http://www.chrisblogging.com/associated-content-review/. These stats were from 72 articles that I submitted several months ago.
If you do not have the time to compare, here are a few of the main differences:
1. My acceptance rate went from 78 percent to 100 percent. In my opinion, the reason for this is better keyword research, longer articles, and topics that are not mainstream.
2. With the most recent 47 articles I was paid a total of $304.14. In my last update, I showed 56 articles earning $310. Of course, this means that my average offer increased from $5.54 to $6.47.
3. The only negative when comparing stats is that my highest offer was $8.50 this past month. In the last update, my highest was $10. This is something that I am still trying to figure out.
As I continue to submit articles to Associated Content I will keep you updated on my progress. My overall goal is to increase my average offer each month. Check back regularly to get updates on Associated Content news as well as my personal stats.

Thanks for the info, Chris. I’ve considered getting into freelance writing for a while (it can’t be any harder than freelance programming, right?
) and this certainly lets me know what I might be up against with AP.

Associated Content has a pretty exploitive rep among people who write for their livelihood. Thinking six bucks for a story is a nice side income seems a little self-defeating to me. If you made $5K a month–it surely isn’t coming from this place. Why not concentrate on the places that still pay a living wage?

Star - I can see how you may think that AC has nothing to offer. The pay is low, and nowhere near the bigger jobs that I love to work on!
But with that being said, I do not mind the months where I can make $300 - $400 from AC for only 1 hour of work per day!

I know this article and comments are from quite awhile ago, but I have to comment. This would be in response to Star’s comment, no offense intended if it is taken this way. I started out applying at local newspapers for a job after I graduated college. I would make less writing for newspapers and news stations than I do at a local call center that offers insurance. Newspapers, if you’re just starting out, do not offer a living wage. For someone like me, who is barely making a living wage off of call center work, this is an amazing way to be able to make some cash while doing something that I love- writing! So for me this is not self defeating. I finally have found a way to make an extra couple of hundred a month while doing my hobby!! Obviously, it would be difficult to make 5K a month off this site, but this will help pay off my college internship!! I will also hopefully be able to start a savings account if I stick with this. I mean, come on, why wouldn’t you want to make an almost free few hundred dollars writing about random things?? I worked at Walt Disney World and wrote an article about it; only a few hundred words, and I made $5.50 off it; i know it’s not much, but considering I made only $11.00 per article at a newspaper that shall not be named, this is good news to me.
