Why This Stay at Home Mom Writes for Associated Content

Associated Content is a Real Work at Home Opportunity - Great for Stay at Home Moms

Melissa B
I first signed up with Associated Content in 2007. I quickly found out that Associated Content was a totally legitimate work at home opportunity, great for stay at home moms. At the time I started writing for Associated Content, my husband was starting his own business as well as driving a tow truck on the weekends for extra money. So needless to say, I wasn't forced to write tons of articles on Associated Content at that time. None the less, I was a stay at home mom and eager to bring in any source of income to add to the family finances. Associated Content allowed me to do just that and more!

It was not until the past month or so, that I really started getting serious about writing for Associated Content due to financial strain. Being a stay at home mom of three young boys makes it hard to not only find a job, but keep one. I run a tight schedule already with all the errands, doctor appointments and house keeping I do. Not to mention, my two year old has a speech delay and has two different teachers come to the house weekly, I home school my five year old through Connections Academy and I am on my toes following my one year old around. And I also serve on the Board of Directors of Faith and Marriage Ministries. I just can't imagine adding in a part time job, day care and all the things that go with that to my to-do list! This is where Associated Content has saved this stay at home mom the hassle.

Using Associated Content, I am able to continue being a stay at home mom. My oldest son is able to be home schooled and my two year old doesn't have any set backs in his development from having to adjust to a daycare center, nor do I have to worry about my one year old coming down with cold after cold due to daycare exposure. However, this doesn't mean that I just sit back and type all day. I am so busy during the hours my kids are awake, I don't even get to write a single article on Associated Content until they are asleep. Luckily for me, they all go to bed by 7:30 pm. Once the kids are asleep I log into Associated Content and begin publishing content. My goal is about to write four articles per night using Associated Content. Although I have seen articles written by content producers that claim they can get several articles completed per hour, that doesn't happen for me. It takes about 45 minutes to about an hour to complete an article on Associated Content from start to finish.

Usually, I have a list of possible articles I can write on Associated Content, with bullets outlining my main thoughts and points. This helps me write at a pretty smooth pace. I am not the worlds fastest typer, but I do pretty good. To get about four articles completed on Associated Content takes me all the way until close to midnight, with minimal breaks for bathroom or a snack. Writing about four articles on Associated Content per night certainly won't make me rich, but I do average about close to $5.00 per article on Associated Content, so a nights work is usually a few cents shy of twenty dollars. If I take the weekends off, I am still able to make about $400.00 per month on Associated Content alone. Which is close to the amount I need to make to be able to continue being a stay at home mom. It might not make me rich, but it does serve it's purpose!

If you are a stay at home mom too, I would recommend using Associated Content to bring a little extra cash into the household if needed. You can sign up for Associated Content for FREE here. It's also a great way to save money up for something that you need or want, like a haircut, or to pay your cell phone bill. Writing for Associated Content is fun, I have no complaints. I do not average minimum wage, which is a bummer, but then again, I don't pay a day care center to watch my kids or have to put extra money in my gas tank to get to work. My car insurance is cheaper because I do not use my vehicle to commute to work and so on. So for me it is worth writing for Associated Content and I enjoy it!

    I am a SAHM getting started on Associated content. I appreciate your suggestion about outlining an article in bullet points before you sit down to write. I am trying to build up a base before we have tight finances.
