place of birth, etc...)
I am a 43 years old male, have had a good formal education with 4 university degrees (yes it seems that I collect them!). I even have a doctorate and an MBA. I like to study as you can see (a 5th degree?, just kidding). Now I always was told that my writing was good but never took it seriously.
DP: What initially drew you to AC? Or, How did you hear of AC?
As I told u before I always was told that my writing was good but never took it seriously., a few months back I was looking at the net, at the classic money making opportunities (we are always looking to make more money, Isn't it true?) and AC came up. I wrote one article an got the minimum (I believe it was 3.06) so I got it mad and started writing more.
DP: What genre are you wanting to publish the most?
I like to write about Health and Science and many of my articles are about that, but recently I have starting to write more popular topics to get some more page views, I guess. Current news is something I like but with the New AC policy changes kind of difficult to be one of the first to write about something.
DP: What are your favorite titles so far?
(Don't be modest.)
I like the first article I wrote : "Chia Seeds: An Ancient Super Food for Today's Health Conscious Consumer ".
One of my favorites is one I did on Tibetan Yoga . I did it in both English and Spanish. The spanish version was done for free but it has been the article that more page views has gotten so far (Spanish! BRILLIANT!!-DP)
I also like:
Associated Content: How to Get Paid for Writing on Your Free Time
Cute General Hospital Nurse Shell Kepler Died in Oregon at 49
JFK Assassination Plot Papers Found in Dallas
and many others you can see here.
DP: How has AC Treated you so far?
(Support, that is)
I believe that the issue with Customer Support on AC is that they may be getting tons of questions. Just remember that there are 100000 CPs so you can imagine that. But, I have had a couple of real issues that when asked were answered in a very professional way.
DP: Where else have you been published?
To the best of my knowledge I have not been published anywhere besides AC
DP: Please tell us about your favorite pet.
I do not have pets and have never had but I like Labradors and German Shepherds.
DP: What would you do with a million dollars?
Well, I do not....O yes I'll try to have a better life. Now if you ask me a million dollar today is not that much depending on where you live!
DP: In 100 words or more; where do you want
to be when you're 50?
Well, I had dreams of retiring at 45. Now that I am almost there I have pushed to 55 so if I could retire by 50 that would be great. Now by retiring I do not mean stop writing maybe writing more. Maybe writing a book (isn't that what a person is supposed to in his life?)
DP: What is you're favorite quote about writing? (and who get's the credit?)
Just write It. (to the best of my knowledge is mine-of course it mimics famous Nike's Just Do it!)
DP: If you had any advice for newbies to get better exposure, what would you say?
Well, that is though. I think I am still a newbie. But I would advise to promote more ( I do little) and to write about what you like (It is easier). Also I would say to read everything you can (on AC of course) about writing. This will help a lot.
Thanks, RB
DP: Thank you!
