Writing Wednesday Begins!
February 7th, 2008 | 
Author: Sorry for the delay in posting my first Writing Wednesday article. We were out of the house for a good part of the afternoon, and by the time I settled down to write, our internet connection was messed up. Apparently, after spending about 40 minutes on the phone with tech support, the problem wasn’t on our end, but instead our satellite (the one in the sky that our little satellite talks to) has issues and is being worked on. Ho-hum.
For the first Writing Wednesday, I thought I’d introduce you to Associated Content. One of my goals for the first couple of months in 2008 is to find some small ways to supplement our income. Associated Content is one of those ways. If you enjoy writing short articles, reviews, poetry, short stories,
editorial opinions or just about anything, consider joining Associated
Content to receive an income from your pieces.
What is Associated Content? Basically, it is a site where freelance writers can submit pieces on any subject, and receive payments for how many times those articles are viewed. Anyone can go to the site and read the articles. In fact, on the right side of this page, you should see a widget listing the articles I’ve published since I’ve started. Two are articles that previously appeared as blog posts here, and two others are recipes that I submitted in answer to a “call.”
What’s a “call”? In an effort to have relevant content, AC puts out “calls” or prompts for articles. The prompts might be about current events (recent calls included various topics on the Super Bowl as well as Super Tuesday) or more obscure topics like organic foods or certain types of recipes. When I see a “call” I like, I claim the call, write my article, and submit the article by the deadline in the call.
Take some time this week to check out AC and maybe it will work for you too. If you want to get started now, click on the AC box near the bottom of the column to the right.
Do you generate an income through writing? If so, what do you do? Have you found any online resources that are beneficial for writers? Leave a comment about your writing experiences and maybe we’ll explore those areas in future Writing Wednesdays!
