In September I began writing articles for Associated Content. This website pays $3+ for articles that follow their guidelines. In return, they get a huge website of content pages to put advertisements on.

I started out earning between $3 and $4.50 an article, but as my average page views per article climbs, I am seeing a jump in my payments. My current average page views are at about 95 page views per article.

For my last two articles I was paid my highest ever upfront payments.

I was paid $4.87 for my article: Support Our Troops – Send a Thanksgiving Package to a Soldier. This article was also featured on the front page of Associated Content, so I should earn some extra page views.

My most recent article received an even higher payment of $5.50. The article is titled Career Overview Auditor Accountant. My original title made more sense, but Associated Content often changes titles to make them more search-engine-friendly.

I am happy with the results I have had from Associated Content, especially if I continue to earn around $5 per article instead of $3. I have slowed down my submissions this month, working on building my page views and only submitting articles that will earn me even more page views.
