I was late to the party when it came to Associated Content and joined long after the $20 articles passed. I started out slow, by posting articles that covered new products or restaurants I tried and things I had experience with. I published a few articles on architecture and historic preservation, given my advanced degree. While those articles earned relatively high upfront payments, they earned little after.
I have had a few good experiences with YCN, as it is now known. An article I wrote on Sephora facial moisturizer was picked up by a well known health and beauty site, which substantially increased my page views. I sold an article on alcoholic drinks that earned a high upfront payment and lots of views from the site that bought it.
I love haunted stories, so I started writing articles on haunted places. An editor found my articles, tracked me down on Facebook and offered me a book contract. Last fall, my book Haunted Miami Valley was released. I am excited about increasing my page views and seeing what the future holds.
