A Day in the Life of a Content Producer:

Although the specific date does not matter, it is my goal to chart my progress for two weeks, letting any content producers, or potential producers, know what they might expect on Associated Content. I, myself, have only been on A.C. for about a month. Of course, everyone's experience is different, but this should help you out when you first begin on Associated Content.

Insider Information

I've decided to combine two days for every article, at least during the first week. Although a number of articles will be written, not much money has come in yet and I'm hoping today is the day that the tides change.

Friday's Stats

Articles Written and Submitted: One (1); Zero (0)

The only thing I've got going for me today is my DITL article. Pathetic! How can a freelancer expect to make any money when they cannot sit down and get some writing done? Instead, my other tasks took priority and I will feel the pain when I do not make my monetary goals next week. It's my own fault.

Prices per Article: $13.05 total = 3 articles.

It averages out to about $4.35 per article and while I'm not ecstatic, I can accept it. Not a bad price for one hour or so of work; and in my mind, every little bit helps. I can't help but think that it would even more if I could get my price per article up some. I suppose I could take the time to rewrite the articles if they come in less than five dollars, but I'm not sure they would get more. Maybe I'm just a sub-par writer and I'll have to learn to accept sub-par offers. Or, maybe not; I guess we will have to wait and see.

Weekend Stats

Articles Written and Submitted: Zero (0); Zero (0)

Other than updating my DITL, I did not get any actual articles written, so I'm counting the weekend as a zero. However, I did take time to jot down any article topics that came to mind, which should help me meet my goals for next week.

Prices per Article: $0.00

No articles were approved over the weekend. I don't think that Associated Content works on the weekend, although I could be wrong. I just have never gotten an offer or anything published on the weekend so I don't even check it anymore. I have a few articles that I think are in line for an upfront payment offer on Monday, so that should make things a little better.
