Associated Content is Helping Me Pay for a Disney Vacation

Carly Hart
My family and I spent a week at Disney in 2008 around the time of our daughter's 7th birthday. It was our very first trip and we focused mainly on giving our daughter a magical birthday week filled with Disney Princess character meals and a trip to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. We expected to have a good time, but there's just something so magical about Disney World that even before you leave, you are already planning your next trip. Our vacation was hardly begun when we decided that we wanted to try to return again in 2009 for our son's 5th birthday so that he could have a magical birthday experience of his very own.

I decided that I would start saving my content writing money to help pay for our next trip. With Associated Content's upfront payments and Page View Bonus, I have been able to earn and save over $1,000 for Disney this year alone. It has been intensely satisfying for me to watch my dedicated savings account grow by an average of $125 per month, knowing that each penny I earn will go toward giving our son a magical 5th birthday with his favorite characters at Disney. The dream of going back to Disney World is what keeps me motivated to write. I think back to joy and excitement that my children felt during our last visit and it makes me want to write more. I know that every time I submit an article, I am working toward paying for our Disney vacation.

My husband may significantly out earn me right now while I stay home with the kids, but it is my writing money that will fund a significant portion of our vacation's cost. We both know that we would not be able to afford to go back to Disney World this year without if I were not a Contributor at Associated Content.
