Google AdSense could be a great way to monetize your site. But if you’re CTR or eCPM is in the crapper, you may be looking for a new solution – an ad network that pays a decent flat rate per thousand impressions.

There are some reputable CPM programs out there (ValueClick seems to be among the best), but there are surely plenty of scams out there. I just read about one program – RevenueResponse – that seems like a site you should avoid using.

I’ve been writing at Associated Content for a few months now. I certainly think it’s a great place for budding freelance writers or ambitious college students to find some extra work.

Is it for everyone? Perhaps not. It’s got some great features, but it certainly has it’s drawbacks.

Start With the Pros – Great Things about AC

Up Front Payment. This is probably the greatest thing about Associated Content. I can write an article that I know will not garnish thousands of page views – and still get $4 for it. Even if your article is relatively popular and gets $0.50 a month in revenue sharing (~333 visitors), you’d have to wait 8 months to get the same payment.

I suppose you want an answer to that most important question – how much money can you make with Associated Content?

That depends on a few things.

First, let’s examine what an average article will earn for you.

Average Article – Upfront Payment $3-7

If you submit a decent text article, you can expect to have it approved for up front payment. Associated Content claims that the range of offers is $3 to $20. Typically, people see offers from $3-7.

A great article might push closer to $10, but chances are you’ll average about $5 up front per article. Not a whole lot of money, but you need to consider it in the context of how much work you put in.

So you’re interested in writing online at Associated Content, but you want to know a bit more about it?

It’s a pretty simple system. You submit your content through an online form – complete with WYSIWYG text editor and document templates. Then you choose whether you want it to be reviewed for upfront payment or published immediately – which means you’ll only earn money with the revenue sharing system (“performance payments” at Associated Content).

How to Submit? Type it Up and Hit the Button.

The submission process is pretty painless. When you log in and click on “Submit Content,” you’ll see a list of different article types. You could select a General Article – which gives you a basic form to fill out, an opportunity to add resource links, and a section to add pictures – or you could choose a special template for news, product reviews, or other articles.
