Convincing Your Friends to Write for Associated Content

There are so many scams on the internet and so many advertisements that it has become truly difficult to determine what is a scam and what isn't. I followed the model that Associated Content about inviting your friends and I have to admit that most of my friends were skeptical and viewed my email invite to them as a hoax, junk mail or a scam. Very few of them even bothered to read the invitation to write for the site and even fewer of them read how Associated Content pays people to write for them.

As a college student, I am always looking to make money and every chance I get to make money, I seize on the opportunity; that's how I found Associated Content when one of my friends told me about it. Yet even I was skeptical that is was legit. I always receive emails that say how you can make thousands of dollars by being a mystery shopper or entering data for a company at home from your computer. However, after you ask them for more information and you read the fine print, you learn that the email was a hoax because they always ask you for money in order to sign up. I simply refuse to sign up for anything that requires you to pay a fee in order to make money. When I found that Associated Content requires no such thing, I thought that this could be the one site that helps me make money. My instincts were quickly rewarded. However, often is the case as I have just described that people feel.

In order to get a few of my friends to sign up for the account and to write for the site, I had to show them the money transactions from my paypal account that Associated Content had deposited into my account. Finally, after much persuasion, I was able to convince my friends that they could write about anything, just about anything for Associated Content and get paid for it. This aroused much suspicion as well. How could a website pay for a person's thoughts and opinions when there were millions of people around the United States who could do just that. Submitting college papers was one thing, but writing about sports or politics was another. I told my friends and relatives to just give it a chance and see what happens. Sure enough, once the first articles received payment, they became believers in Associated Content.
