Benefits of Writing for Associated Content

As I sit here at my home computer looking out at the snow-drenched surroundings, I am reminded of why I enjoy writing for Associated Content. Associated Content (AC) provides benefits that other positions do not.

First of all, Associated Content is reliable. It is reassuring to know that they have been around awhile, and will continue to be around. By keeping content producers updated about what content they are seeking, Associated Content maintains an open communication line with us content producers. We receive emails regarding content requests, contests we can partake of, and a variety of other offerings. We also receive emails with pertinent articles regarding current happenings. It lets us know what other content producers are up to, as well as keeping us informed.

Associated Content provides perks. Some email messages I receive consist of 'free trials/samples' of products. Sometimes a product review is necessary, other times they are not. It all depends on the offer details. Either way, it is nice to know there are ways to receive products at no charge to us content producers. All content producers have to do is apply for the offer.

Associated Content pays on time. This is a huge benefit. Upon accepting an offer, I can be assured of receiving payment within a few days. My experience has shown that this is not common in the online community. Too many times I have planned on receiving a promised payment from other online businesses, only to be disappointed. Sometimes I get frustrated with the low offers, but the payment reliability usually makes up for it.

Associated Content pays via Paypal. How easy is this? It is great to open up my email and receive a message stating I have received a payment from Associated Content. Then, all I do is transfer it to my bank account. The ease and convenience of this feature cannot be overemphasized.

Associated Content is fair to content producers. My dealing with Associated Content has shown them to truly want to help their content producers. They provide fair and impartial treatment when any issue arises. That, to me, is reassuring.

Associated Content provides versatility. Even though they supply a recommended list of content ideas, they will consider most subject areas. So, if a content producer has a passion for cooking, they can share their knowledge with the community.

Another benefit of working with Associated Content is the fact that they provide a learning experience. If a content producer does not have any web content, SEO, or keyword optimization experience, they have what is called 'Associated Content 101'. This section contains a wealth of information to help content producers succeed in their writing venture. Plus, by learning through Associated Content, a content producer can expand their client base by contacting others needing web content. The experience used in new positions is gained by the affiliation with Associated Content.

So, this ties in with Associated Content providing content producers with a richer resume. By gaining web content writing skills, content producers will find many more writing gigs - if that is what they want. Not only does the web content writing skill look good on a resume, but it increases your chances of finding either employment or gigs. In short, AC helps content producers develop skills.

Associated Content publishes your article and makes it easy for you to share it with others. When a content producer's article is published, an email is sent to the writer stating this fact. This email contains various ways for the content producer to publicize their article to others. Emailing friends and contacts is one way to gain exposure. Putting an RSS feed on your website or blog is another way. What I like best, though, is the link to your article. This link is plainly displayed in the center of the email. You simply click on this link; it takes you to the AC site, and brings up your article. At the bottom of each article, are links to various bookmarks. How easy is this? It may take some time, but can reap great results.

The AC website is easy to maneuver around in. It is user friendly. Too many times I navigate around other sites only to become frustrated and leave. Kudos to the web developer of the AC site!

Associated Content provides each content producer with a CP page. Here, content producers (CP) can post their profile, interests, and view their articles. It is nice to have a place where all my articles are located. Plus, I can refer others to my content producer page. This leads me to...

AC has a sense of community to it. Each content producer is part of the AC community. They can communicate with each other by leaving comments. And, as mentioned before, AC can communicate with content producers through email via the AC site.

Another benefit of writing for AC is the fact that you can do it at home. My local community was hit by a severe winter storm last night, traffic was gnarled, roads closed, schools closed, etc. I am sitting here writing, being paid, and looking out the window at the Olympic Mountains. Plus, even if the power goes out, I can still write with my pen and paper in hand. How cool is that?

Well, there are probably more benefits of writing for Associated Content that I am forgetting. Anyway you look at it, I feel blessed to be able to do it.
