Last month I talked about Associated Content and getting paid to submit quality articles. If you need cash flow this may be for you. Here are a few of the things I have found out.

1. You have to be 18 years old to get an account
2. To get paid you have to live in the United States. They pay with PayPal and are not approved to do international payments. Maybe someday.
3. They pay at least 2 times a week.
4. Articles must be at least 400 words
5. You can submit your articles as exclusive or non-exclusive
6. They have many different categories and are looking for articles in many different forms including articles, interviews, product reviews etc

You will earn $1-$2 more for an exclusive article, but I have tried both. I am finding the payments work out to about $6.50 to $7 an article. This is good part time money if you can write 2 articles an hour.

My main reason of bringing this up is the number one type of email I get everyday is I need to make money and I do not have any money to get started. Associated Content is one way that if you live in the U.S. you can make money.

Here is an example of how to make $1K a month with Associated Content.

Let’s say you can average $6 an article in commissions and can work 3 hours a day writing. If you can write 2 articles per hour, 3 hours a day, you would write 180 articles in a month. Submit them as exclusive and you should earn at least $6 on each one if they are quality, interesting articles. So the math works out like this.

2 articles per day X 3 hours a day= 6 articles per day
6 articles X 30 days in a month= 180 articles
180 articles X $6 per article= $1080

You would have worked 90 hours to earn $1080 or an average of $12 an hour.

One downside to this is you are not building any residual income. You only get paid when you write, but how could you use an extra $1080 a month?

How about this: Join SFI for free, upgrade to Executive Affiliate, and then start building a business that will pay you over and over for your efforts.

Here is how I started 4 years ago. I launched my own Plugin Profit Site in 3 easy step and then took my Team-Schuman.com website and turned it into one of the top make money website on Google.

Having some extra cash to pay bills always helps, but if you are smart you would write articles everyday and then take some of your money and use it to advertise and promote on the internet to make more money.

You could get an upgraded account with Traffic Swarm and promote all kinds of products just doing traffic exchanges.

You could get an upgraded account with US Free Ads and place classified ads to sell products and programs.

I explain how I use programs like these to make a full time living working for myself at home in my email training series with a program I started called JV With Jeff. In it I go over things like email marketing, blogging, article marketing, forum marketing and much more. If you are not a subscriber or a partner with me you can join me free here:

The point is this. You have to spend a little money in your business if you want to make money online. If you do not have any money then you need to get some. Writing articles for Associated Content is one way to do that. Maybe you need a part time job if you live outside of the United States. It is up to you. I just know the internet offers many ways to make money if you will work at it.
