Today I submitted a couple articles to Associated Content. Now it’s wait and see as to whether or not they’ll want to accept and pay anything for them.

Spending some time on the site today I got the impression they are looking for very original content, information that can’t be found elsewhere. They seem to want reviews of products and movies and CDs, even nursing homes. They’re interested in reviews of the sites and restaurants where you live, etc. I get the impression they want a personal touch, and not information that already exists on dozens of websites. They’ll even take college term papers!

If you can whip off a 400 word article on any of the above types of topics, you may like the site. The payout for articles is anywhere from $3-$20 (something like that). So it’s not going to make anyone wealthy. But they don’t require exclusive articles either.

You can submit an article to Associated Content that is already published on the web. The only requirement is that you hold the copywrite. So why not submit your articles to ezinearticles.com, and a short time later to Associated Content for a few bucks? Better yet, why don’t I submit articles to ezinearticles.com and then to Associated Content? Can’t hurt.

Is everyone here aware of NicheADay.com? It’s a service offered by the founders of Keyword Avalanche. In a daily email, they provide a niche idea, along with an extensive keyword list. It’s all free and absolutely worth checking out.

That’s all for now. Have a good one!

I signed up for Blogini 2.0 today. I went with the Lifetime Gold package. That’s an absolute steal. I feel kind of guilty doing it because I know the level of value Ken Fox has built into the program. My decision was based on being financially responsible and my commitment to do a much better job of balancing earnings and expenditures this year.

The decision was hard. I really wanted the extreme package. Even this morning Ken was adding more benefits. He is making JVManager available with the extreme package. That program coordinates your affiliates, marketing, lists, and from the sounds of it, just about everything in your business. Wow.

He also decided to they would promote links to a website that might coincide with one of your blogs. This means your blog url and 3 rotating anchor text phrases will be promoted for each blog, and the same will be promoted for one of your websites as well. I love this. So targeted backlinks will be built for both your blog and your website.

One great thing is I still have the option to upgrade later on, as long as there are places available. So that’s cool. I feel glad to have the decision made. Now I’ll have to make good use of all the benefits I do get, and build my own network of niche blogs based on all I learn.

Have a good weekend everyone!
