Associated Content Top 1,000

I, Zachary Fruhling, am officially a "Top 1000" content producer on Associated Content (see Zachary Fruhling's Content Producer Page). Woo hoo! While I am unsure of the exact criterion used to determine the Top 1000 content producers, I have a hunch that it is either total number of articles submitted or total page views. I have recently become re-excited about Associated Content as a means to passive income, seeing as how my residual performance payment income is out-pacing my investment dividends.

By no means have I given up on long-term investing as a means to financial security, but I have reaffirmed my commitment to produce content for Associated Content on a regular basis to supplement and grow my passive income.

For those who are unfamiliar with Associated Content, AC is a company that will pay their writers anywhere from $3.00 to $20.00 for short to medium length articles on a variety of topics, including product and restaurant reviews, local news, how-to articles, etc. In addition to an up-front payment, Associated Content also pays residuals based on the total number of continuing page views generated by your content.

Most of the articles I have written for AC are simple product or restaurant reviews, and how-to articles on a number of areas within my expertise. Here is a list of my top ten Associated Content articles, so you can get an idea of the type of articles that AC regularly pays for:

1. How to Whiten Your Teeth Cheaply with Hydrogen Peroxide as a Mouthwash (6063 Page Views)

2. How to Make a Lemon Battery (3505 Page Views)

3. How to Write with a Fountain Pen (3403 Page Views)

4. How to Improve Your Handwriting (3268 Page Views)

5. Lindemans Framboise Raspberry Lambic Beer is a Delicious Alternative to Traditional Beer (3223 Page Views)

6. Top Fin 10 Gallon Goldfish Aquarium Starter Kit (2990 Page Views)

7. Why Buy an iPhone When You Could Have $11,553? (2471 Page Views)

8. Mother's Circus Animal Cookies Are Fun and Delicious (1884 Page Views)

9. Splenda Vs. Sweet'N Low (1777 Page Views)

10. TetraFin Goldfish Flakes: How to Feed Goldfish Properly (1653 Page Views)

As you can see, the topic of each of these articles is narrowly focused but fills a specific niche that someone is likely to be searching for. None of these articles took more than 15 minutes or so to write, but I am receiving money from each of them each month, deposited directly into my Paypal account. If you have not yet given Associated Content a try, and if you write quickly with quality, then Associated Content may be a good way to generate and supplement your passive income.
