Just got my first offer from Associated Content and it was a joke!

Their payouts are about $1.5 / article. Yeah.. they don't care how long you write... maybe once you write more.. they will pay more...

 

i'd say it's more than $1.50 per article. I routinely get close to $10/article there. I don't write for them much because I can get offers elsewhere, though.

 

Get your own blog, write your articles, then promote it.

You will get more than using these cheap sites. Do you know how much content your site will have after one whole year of posting everyday?

You will earn more doing that over the long term.

 

1400 is way too much, nobody would read an article that long unless its quality is really outstanding! You really need to work on quality rather than length. 400-500 words is the optimum. When you get better try Constant-content.com and DailyArticle.com, you can earn more ($20-30 per article depending on the subject) but you have to pass their selection first.

 

You will make more money selling one article one hundred times over at $2 than selling it one time for $8.
