MONEY
What kind of money can you make on AC? It all depends on what type of articles you write, what kind of advertising you do to let people find your articles and how many articles you have published. Some writer's only make a few pennies per month while others make close to full time income.

I've written 52 articles since September, 2007 and my total income so far, including both upfront payments and page views, is $145.00. Not a ton of money but I'm still learning how to best title my articles and add keyword terms. I also didn't do a lot to advertise and promote my articles in the first few months but I'm trying to spend more time doing that in the new year.

CALL FOR CONTENT
A relatively new feature on Associated Content is the Call for Content articles (C4C). Based upon your interests, and the articles you've written in the past, you will see a selection of article titles that Associated Content is currently looking to have written. Some of these articles are what AC wants to see published on their site and more than one author can claim this type of C4C. This type of C4C is eligible for page views only and will not be offered an upfront payment. Other C4C are from their partner sites. You will be offered an upfront payment and the article will be added to the partner site only which means it will not eligible for page views on AC.

I wrote a couple of Call for Content holiday articles which were published for PV only on AC. They seem to be doing pretty well and didn't take long to write. I've written three C4C for one of the partner sites each of which received an $8.50 Upfront Payment. The partner site has just gone live and so far two of my three articles have been uploaded to their website.

You can post exclusive or non-exclusive articles to AC. There doesn't seem to be much difference in the amount of Upfront Payment that is offered for exclusive articles. So I only offer my articles as non-exclusive, that way I retain the copy right to the articles and I can publish them to other sites in the future.
