Clout 5

Marie Stine
A few days ago I rolled over to Clout 5 on Associated Content which caused me to do a little dance. I've been here about three and a half months and while others are progressing more rapidly, I am happy to plod along at my own slow pace. That pesky job in the real world (which I am grateful to have) gets in the way of adding more content. Well, ok, if I'm honest, it's not just the job, it's also time spent surfing the net, watching TV and endless hobbies that pull me away from writing.

I have enjoyed my time here and love that Associated Content allows all the different formats. When I'm too tired to think about writing or just hit a wall, I can upload some pictures and publish a slideshow. I get to showcase my pictures and make a few pennies at the same time.

I have to thank my friend, Jenny Heart, because she encouraged me to sign up at Associated Content. It's amazing how addicting this place is. Every morning I jump up and sign in to see how many views I have. It's a secret thrill that I look forward to each morning.

Along the way, I've made good friends and love the community feeling here on AC. Sometimes it is overwhelming trying to read articles and keep up with everyone, but give me enough time and I'll work my through them.

Now begins my slow grind to Clout 6. Upward and onward!

    Yes, kudo to you Jenny, and congratulations to you Marie. You are really moving up quickly. A tribute to your giftedness no doubt. Besides, you really have a wonderful friend and one that I subscribe to in Jenny Heart, but I think you are really going to hit Clout Leven Six in no time. Congratulations again Marie.
