Associated Content Review

For all the time I have been a writer (not that long), I have not seen a paid article submission site like Associated Content. I have heard a lot of praise for it, but I never wrote for it. I thought it was for people that were professionals. But I was horribly wrong.

You see, my first experience of Associated Content was not so fun of an experience. First, I was rejected for a really good article, all because it had a link to a store (which was why I hated it) , and then I heard that it got a horrible page ranking, so getting a good performance payment was out of reach.

Well, after a month of hearing that crap, I went over to Alexa.com to find out how my favorite Triond crushed AC's rank.

What I found out was just heartbreaking. It turns out that Associated Content BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF TRIOND. AC's ranking was 577, but Triond, and it's sister sites were ranked way beyond the 20,000 mark. After finding that out, I was crushed. I could have made a lot more money if I had submitted my articles to Associated Content. But I didn't. I hung on to the few cents that I got every day.

So now, I am not going to write much for Triond, but I will write for Associated Content A LOT. I will look for an Associated Content Blog widget to put on here, but until then, I will just write about any new article that I published.

Triond Articles Written by Yours Truly

Triond is one of my favorite article writing websites. I have written quite a few articles for that site, and all I have to say for this experience is that writing on Triond was a fun experience. Unlike writing for school, I actually got to portray my emotions, not just write essays. True, I make only a few dollars a month, but that's all I really need.

Here is a list of some of the articles I've written for Triond:

Why You Shouldn't do something stupid that could ruin your life

Weight Loss is supposed to be hard, Right?

Triond vs. Associated Content

One Thing Triond Beginners should never attempt to write about

My First Month on Triond

After about a month on Triond, a popular publishing site, this is what I had to say about it:

"Triond is an awesome site. They pay you fifty percent of the revenue from any PPC ads that viewers might have clicked.

It's just like a blog on blogger, but there is much more traffic to their sites. You can't expect to make a lot of money, for example, after the first week writing on Triond, I made eight cents. This revenue gets bigger as you write more. The more exposure your articles get, the more people will read your articles, and more people will click on the ads.

I wrote about ten or thirteen articles about random topics ranging from health, to bigfoot, to writing in general. I didn't make much from all that. In three weeks, I made fourty two cents.

But then I wrote something about what to write and what not to write about on Triond.It was called "Five things you should avoid writing about" It made it to the hot content list. It was so popular, that experienced Triond writers absolutely hated that article, and me with it. But some people actually liked it. The article was a kind of bust, though. I didn't know what was extremely popular in society and what was not. So I put down some advice about what to write about. I was just typing down some advice about what stuff you should write about. It was only what I could think about out of the top of my head. Nothing more. I just started writing. Little did I know that it would make the hot content list, or that people would hate it.

That one article got me over sixty cents almost singlehandedly. It was amazing, but I don't suggest you do the same. Write these kinds of advice articles only after you have been writing for at least a year. Because if you do, the expert writers are going to do all they can to degrade your work. That article got bad comments like:

'Gravedig. I hate that I read this.'

'You seem to have broken your own rules! You have written about something you don’t know about. 1 month is not long enough to learn all about what works on Triond. As any successful Trionder and they will tell you that there are no certainties and there sre no fortunes to be made. It’s all hard work.. As for Bigfoot and Cell structures, believe it, or not, a good writer can make that interesting and get traffic to it.'

'I like Bigfoot. This article is something you should not write about if you have only been on Triond for one month. How can you know enough to tell everyone what not to do?'

These are some of the harsher comments. And one thing about the second comment. I never said that I was an expert, nor did I tell anyone what to do. I was just giving some advice on how you can get a good article. So what if I have been on Triond for only one month, I have experience writing. I have felt how it is to write about the five things that I have said not to write about. It's not fun at all. And about bigfoot and the atomic structure of acai berry, I was just giving examples of what I wasn't comfortable writing about. Bigfoot can be made into a good article, I admit, but chemistry is something that is meant to be dull and boring. Only another Charles Dickens, or Harper Lee can make that into a great Pulitzer prize article.

I got some good comments ,too, from begginner Triond writers. It was comforting, but the harshness of the other comments hurt. So after a month on Triond, what I have learned is to not write about Triond. At least until a year or two of experience. And I will never do it again."

This is all I had to say about Triond. It's good, but you might have to hear harsh criticism if you write about writing on Triond within your first month.
