How I Make Money from Associated Content

There are.

Will you make a million from one article? Not likely. Like anything else this takes work. However, the nice part is that once you have written your article it will continue to generate income indefinitely. For me, that makes it more than worth my time.

Here is how I personally generate money from Associated Content.

Step 1: Setup Your Account

Do I really need to elaborate on this? You want to make money from Associated Content you need an account. It's free!

Step 2: Choose A Topic

If you want to be paid for writing you have to write something. You can write from your own interests or pick a topic that Associated Content has made available to you. Your article needs to be at least four hundred words long. I also recommend that it is tightly focused to a keyword word and easy to read with the implementation of short paragraphs and bullet points. Longer paragraphs like this can be used on occasion, but writing full articles with nothing but this type of paragraph structure makes them cumbersome to read from a computer monitor.

No need to stick with text though, as Associated Content also accepts

* audio

* video

* graphics

Basically anything you put on the web.

HINT: I also do many projects on an exclusive basis. My opinion is that I will receive more by giving more of my rights to an article away. Some believe that they can write an exclusive for Associated Content and then rewrite the same content with minor tweaks. While technically this may be correct, I do not believe it prudent or smart in my opinion.

Step 3: After Submission

My experience with Associated Content is that they review and publish material quite quickly. Much faster than most article directories include Ezine articles which is another valuable resource that every writer should use.

That being said, please don't think your job is done because you were published. Truth is, for best results your job has just begun.

While you could wait for the search engines to visit and categorize your SEO written content, I believe this to be quite limiting. Why not share your content with other writers on Associated Content; this is an excellent way to get the word of your writings out. It's not one I personally have use yet, but I'm going to.

With that said, here are three easy and mostly free ways to gain an audience for your projects.

1. Ping.FM: A free tool designed to bring all social networks together as one for blogging or status updates. If you status update that you have a new article available you will gain readers.

2. Tweet Later: Twitter has a third party application called Tweet Later that allows you to create auto tweets that go out in specified intervals. The professional version of this free tool does cost, but is more than well worth the price of $30 per month considering how much you can make as a result.

3. Email: Everyone has contacts. Chances are if you are interested in "X" some of your Email contacts will also be interested. Send out an Email to your friends and family asking them to read and comment on your latest writing. Since it is coming from you they will enjoy reading your own personal writings.

Using the above tips and techniques you too can make money from associated content by sharing your content with their awesome services.
