Can I Make a Living Writing for Associated Content? Week 1

Is it Possible to Make a Good Income by Writing Online?

K. Anderson
Last week I wrote an article that described how I am going to conduct an experiment to see if I can make a living writing for Associated Content. After writing articles for one week, I am ecstatic to report that I am making excellent progress and I truly do believe that I will be able to make a legitimate income writing for Associated Content. Here is what has happened this week:

-I wrote 75 articles, 50 of which have been published thus far. I am waiting for Associated Content to either make an offer or decline the other 25 articles.

-Of the 50 articles that were published this week, I received an upfront offer on 35 of them. Each upfront payment was between $2.50-$5.00, which brought my total payment for the week to around $128.

-My performance page views jumped from about 50 a day to currently over 400 a day, which means I am making about $0.60 a day right now from performance previews.

-After calculating my progress thus far, at this rate I would be making about $530 a month, and a little over $6,000 a year. While this is not enough to make a living off of, it is definitely a good start. Also, this number does not include the other 25 articles that I have written this week that were not given an offer yet. So supposing that I made between $2-5 on each of those articles, the total amount for them would be close to $75, which adds about $300 to the monthly total, and $3,600 to the annual total. This would bring my overall income for the year to around $9,600. This is still not enough to make a living, however it is a good step in the right direction.

I plan to continue writing and try to publish more articles daily. I feel that the writing experiment has been successful so far, and I look forward to seeing how far I can go writing for Associated Content. I will be writing again next week to keep you updated on my progress, so be sure to check in! Good luck to everyone who is aspiring to be a writer for Associated Content!

    I hope you are keeping it up. I went from 400 page views a day to now over 1500 in just a month's time- and I continue to do at least 50 articles a week and am definitely making it work! Good luck to you!

    That's encouraging! But where in the world did you find time to write 75 articles in a week. Congrats to you! That is impressive for your first week. Inspiring to me, a newbie. I'll have to get cracking!
