My AC Success Story: Dreams Do Come True

An Associated Content Success Story

Matt A. Maxx
I started my AC success story years ago... My list was finished. Later in the evening, the adults would be up late burning their New Years dreams into smoke that only the angels could read; for me, it was just going to be bed time. But, Mrs. King insisted that my dreams would really come true if I would only write them down for her.

Mrs. King, a magazine writer during the 1960's, had just started my AC success story on that cold New Years Eve so long ago. I went to bed that night very excited about my 9th birthday party coming up right after the holidays.

My AC success story:

January 2008, I found AC by accident; just as I had found my 40-year-old dream list by accident a few weeks earlier. Dreams can come true with AC, mine did. For my New Years resolution in January 2008, I decided to follow my original dreams of becoming a full-time writer. Today, just a few months later, Matt A. Maxx is an AC success story.

For some of us, being on Associated Content is not about the money. This writing site is instead used like a classroom to practice and define our top-quality SEO writing skills that are then in high demand all over the planet. Search Engine Optimization techniques are hard to come by without being able to produce trial-and-error articles first.

My AC success story is all about being allowed to learn the skills necessary to succeed in other places. Once my SEO skills were fine-lined, writing jobs came flooding in. Today, while still in my first year with Associated Content, I have more paid writing offers than I can comfortably keep up with. My dreams are now alive; a real part of my daily life.

How I made my AC success story work:

Offline writing styles do not work online until Search Engine Optimization formulas are incorporated into the formatting. Online writing is not just about being a good writer. The online writers who make money are the smart writers; those who understand how to make search engines pick up their writings first. Writers who can manipulate articles to the top of search lists are in demand. These search lists are how the internet functions.

I began trying a series of articles with different search engine techniques included until I found the formula that shot my articles into desirable search places every time. This took me about 50 Associated Content articles worth of writing to get right. My eyes were not on my daily pay totals with those articles, I wanted a bigger prize: marketable SEO skills.

My first 500 word internet article for an outside source paid 30.00. This article led into a paid weekly job. The paid weekly job had room for other outside articles, blogs, rewrites, newsletters, and advertising. Now, there are more permanent jobs than I am comfortable with, and more waiting for my time to free up. I am an AC success story!

A thank you to Associated Content for my AC success story:

AC has allowed me to gain the skills that I need to succeed. There is no better gift that a site can give you than a free education, some pay, and a smile. My AC success story is now written, and it will bring me big smiles daily for many years to come. Thank you so very much Associated Content for allowing me to become an AC success story from your site this year. I am now one very happy writer.
