Break Free from the Mainstream

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

It’s so easy to get sucked into the mainstream lifestyle. It’s almost natural for us to look around at what everyone else is doing and like sheep follow the rest of the herd. What’s interesting is that the American mainstream lifestyle isn’t very optimistic…

Associated Content offers an upfront average payment of $4-$8 for each article your write for them. While their website says that it may take up to 2 weeks for a submitted article to be reviewed, on average my articles get reviewed within 5 days. Here are some of the few types of articles you can write for Associated Content:

  • General Articles – Can be about any topic of interest
  • Local Activities or Events – Whats going on in your neighborhood this week?
  • Local Attractions – What are some of yours? Where do you take your relatives when they visit?
  • Local Businesses
  • Local Real Estate – Are you or any of your friends listing a property for sale?
  • Local Schools
  • College Research Paper – Put any of your old college research papers to use
  • Editorial – Opinion pieces, social and political commentaries
  • Guides – Products, how-to’s
  • Interviews – with famous people, community heroes and other interesting folks
  • News Items – Any new hot piece of news
  • Reviews – Review just about any book, movie or product
  • Short Story – Feeling creative maybe adventurous?
  • Travel Guides – Where did you take your last trip? Where did you stay?

Associated Content also lets you submit audio. Audio includes original songs, compositions, “how-to’s” and jokes. Associated Content also lets you submit videos. A video can be an animation, tutorial, news, videoblog, or a home video.

Associated Content also provides performance pay for your articles. This is based on how many views your article gets. To get more views make sure you have a popular keyword rich title for the article. Also make sure to mention many of the title’s main keywords frequently throughout the article. For example, if the article is titled “Popular Christmas Gifts on Everyone’s List”, the keyword’s “Christmas”, “Gifts”, “List” should appear frequently throughout the article. This type of article would get many visits during the Christmas season since people frequently search for popular Christmas gift ideas online during the holiday season. The more visits your article gets the higher your performance pay will be. My friend who has referred me to Associated Content is earning $30-$40 monthly from Associated content only from performance pay for a handful of keyword rich articles he submitted.

If you submit one article a day to Associate Content you will earn $5 on average which is about $150 of extra an income a month or $1800 a year. Not a bad chunk of change. This is also not counting all the extra performance pay your articles will earn. I highly recommend you give Associated Content a try today.

Increase Your Income – Start Today – A Great Tip

Sunday, November 18th, 2007

Think of 5 people who have helped you financially in the last year or two. Maybe they helped you find a job, gave you some financial advice that worked, or were mentors. Contact each one, let them know that you were just thinking of them, and wanted to thank them for their financial help in the past. Catch up with them on how they are doing briefly, and then let them know your financial situation or struggles and see what they advice, they will be more than happy to help. It’s interesting how when you acknowledge and thank someone for their help they are more than happy to provide you with a lot more, most often on their own without you even asking. After recently quiting my job, I started talking to an old employee who left my company 6 months ago, and I let him know how I missed joking around with him at work, and wanted to catch up. I also let him know that I just quit my current job. He informed me that they are currently hiring at his company and offered to help me find a new job without me even asking.

The credit for this tip goes to Noah St John and his Success Clinic program. As with any other tip I learn and share, I recommend you take action right away even if it’s a very small step. Pick up the phone and make the first call right now, and let me know how it turns out.
