Associated Content:
Associated Content is a well respected site for writers to publish content on virtually any topic they choose. I have been searching for a new site to submit content to that I can share knowledge on just about any subject. I'm always looking to diversify my residual income, and this will give me a chance to write about other subjects I'm interested in. I am able to write on any topic on Infobarrel and Xomba, but the earnings are based on Google ad clicks which come and go.

Upfront Payments and Residual Income:
I need a site such as Associated Content where I know my efforts will be rewarded no matter how small the earnings may be. They offer upfront payments for approved articles, and then $1.50 per 1,000 page views as an ongoing royalty. Upfront payments can range anywhere from $2 to $15 per approved article.

The residual income seems low but it will be consistent and I will be guaranteed to receive an upfront payment. I have a feeling the upfront payment will give me the motivation I need to create new content outside of my usual residual income sites. The Examiner used to be good for an initial boost in income, but now when I create a new article I'm lucky if my earnings spike by $1.

Most Writers Seem Pleased With Their Earnings at Associated Content:
I checked out some other bloggers who write for Associated Content, and most of them are pretty pleased with their results. They seem to agree that the residual income is low, yet reliable. For instance, Melanie at Howtonotworkathome is consistently earnings about $.15 per article per month on about 150 articles. Your earnings potential also increases with the amount of articles you write and their success level. Depending on your success, your clout level will rise and Associated Content will offer you higher upfront payments for new content.

Share Your Success Story:
It seems like a winner, and I am excited to add it to my residual income opportunities. I'll be sure to update as soon as I see some results. For you current Associated Content writers, on average how many views does each of your articles get per month? Feel free to share your success stories and tips for increasing page views.
