What is Associated Content?
Associated Content is a website that pays you to publish various kinds of content online such as articles but also poetry, short stories, reviews and also audio and video.
Associated Content pay via paypal once a month; you don't need to be Shakespeare to earn money with Associated Content but submitting good quality content helps.
If you are based in the U.S., you can choose to get advance payments for your articles and if you are like me outside the U.S., you will get performance payments, which means that you will get remunerated according to how many people read your articles, so it is in your interest to put your articles out there for people to read them.
There are a lot of articles on the Associated Content site that teach you how to write good content and how to make it popular too; I will share some of that advice with you so you can become a successful Associated Content producer too.
Writing Tips
How Can You Become a Successful Associated Content Producer
Writing is like everything else; to become good at it, you must practice. Great authors do not get out of bed one day, decide to write a novel and come out with the "Novel of the Century"; the more you write, the better you will become at it, so try and set some time aside everyday to write. Writing is a skill that can be learned and you can even earn money practising your writing skills on Associated Content.Promoting your work is an important aspect of being a successful Associated Content Producer. The more pageviews your articles get (=the more people visit the Associated Content links where your articles can be found), the more money you earn. There are a few people who can give you some tips about writing and promoting articles on Associated Content:
Check out Pam Gaulin's A to Z Guide for Increasing Pageviews; she is also a Squidoo lensmaster so I am providing a link to her Associated Content Tool Box (check out the module called A to Z Guide to Increasing Pageviews). At the time of publishing, her articles have over 3,000,000 pageviews so her writing advice is worth taking on board.

This info on Associated Content is fascinating --
the same problem with so much else on the net, calling to our writing addiction, tempting us in their direction. I was also interested in the createspace idea, which seems all too easy/reasonably priced for writers to make business sense for the producer.
But my main reason for writing is seeing no rating stars on this. You deserve a good rating from me just for holding my attention and feeding my desire to ramble.
