1. They're not a website that requires a resume or writing samples in order to write for them. A lot of other freelance sites you'll find, will require a resume, or proof of your writing ability, before they'll "hire" you to write for them. However, at Associated Content, all you need is a love for writing, access to research, and a bank account for you payments to go.
2. There's an array of payments. Your pay depends on what kind of article you write. For upfront payments, your articles are usually reviewed within a week, and you can make dollar amounts for them. I, myself, have made up to $3.00 on some articles. For display-only articles, if you've been published 3 times, you bypass review, and get published immediately. However, these payments are for performance only. For every 1,000 views of each article, you receive $1.50. You also get performance payments on your upfront payment articles.
3. If you run out of ideas, Associated Content comes up with some for you. On the AC page, there's a section called "Calls For Content," and it's a list of articles that they want to see written. These articles range in payments, and come in upfront and performance articles. These usually have something to do with which holiday is coming up, and what's in the news.
4. You get to know the joy of being published. Even though it's not in a national magazine or newspaper, it truly is a great feeling to see something you've written, published anywhere. The more you publish, the more accomplished you feel, too, and it makes you want to write more.
5. Lastly, you can write about anything you want. You can publish and read other peoples' published articles on just about any topic imaginable. I, myself, have written political op-eds, how-tos, reviews, and poetry. The possibilities are limitless.
If you've been thinking about freelance writing, and you're not sure about it, look no further. Give Associated Content a try. It's user-friendly, and once you get started, you won't want to stop writing-- and you won't have to either!
