I have been a Content Producer for Associated Content since the middle of September. My very first article was published on September 21st and as of today I have had a total of 52 articles published on their site. I have never had any problem receiving payment for the articles I have published on their website.

UPFRONT PAYMENT
Associated Content pays their writers in two ways. You can submit your article for upfront payment (UFP) which means an editor, called a Content Manager, will read your article and determine its worth. You will then receive an email with an offer for payment or your article will be rejected. UFP can be anywhere from $3.00 to $20 per article. My upfront payments have ranged from a low of $3.00 to a high of $8.50.

PAGE VIEWS
All articles submitted for UFP are also eligible for page views. If your article is rejected for UFP you can still submit it for Page Views only. Your first three articles submitted to Associated Content must be reviewed by a Content Manager before they are posted to the website. After you have three articles accepted for publication on Associated Content future articles that you offer as Page Views only are immediately added to the website.

It can take anywhere from 1 day to 1 week to have an article that has been submitted for Upfront Payment to be accepted. If you have a hot news item, such as Pamela Anderson's latest marriage, you may want to submit it for page views only. By the time a current event article has been approved for UFP it may be old news and no one will be interested in reading it anymore which means that you won't make any money in page views.

Page views are currently paid at a rate of $1.50 per 1,000 readers. This doesn't sound like much, but some of the more popular articles can earn much more in PV revenue than in UFP. Some writers on AC have articles that have had over 10,000 page views!

ACCEPTED ARTICLES
Certain articles, such as recipes, personal memoirs and poems, will never be offered upfront payment but are always eligible for page views. If you can write a story that is at least a few paragraphs long to go along with your recipes you may have them accepted for upfront payments.

You do have to spend a bit of time tweaking your article title, subtitle and keywords for maximum SEO (search engine optimization) before submitting it for publication. And once your articles are published on AC you need to link them to social bookmarking sites, such as Stumble Upon and Technorati, for maximum exposure.
