As mentioned in a few posts back, I am really starting to ramp up my production at Associated Content. And despite a lot of people saying that they have gotten tougher, I have actually found the exact opposite to be true. Over the past month, dating from May 15 to June 15, I have had quite the run of success.
Here are some of my statistics for the past month:
Articles submitted: 57
Articles accepted for payment: 47
Waiting for acceptance: 10
Total acceptance rate: 100%
Total payment received: $304.14
Highest offer: $8.50
Lowest offer: $4
Average offer: $6.47
If you do not have the time to compare, here are a few of the main differences:
1. My acceptance rate went from 78 percent to 100 percent. In my opinion, the reason for this is better keyword research, longer articles, and topics that are not mainstream.
2. With the most recent 47 articles I was paid a total of $304.14. In my last update, I showed 56 articles earning $310. Of course, this means that my average offer increased from $5.54 to $6.47.
3. The only negative when comparing stats is that my highest offer was $8.50 this past month. In the last update, my highest was $10. This is something that I am still trying to figure out.
As I continue to submit articles to Associated Content I will keep you updated on my progress. My overall goal is to increase my average offer each month. Check back regularly to get updates on Associated Content news as well as my personal stats.Â
Starting a blog is something that you may take lightly. But as you move forward with making posts, marketing, and tracking stats, you will begin to notice that it has become part of your life. The fact of the matter is that starting and running a blog will change your life in more ways than you ever thought possible.
Here are three ways that blogging can, and probably will, change your life.
1. As you continue to run your blog you will feel a sense of connection with it. After all, if you are going to spend time each day with your blog you should expect this. And guess what? These feelings only continue to increase as your blog grows in terms of size and traffic. You will feel as if you have an obligation to your blog and your readers. And all in all, this is a good thing!
2. If you are lucky, blogging will change your life in a positive financial manner. Even though making money with a blog is not easy, if you are patient, some profits will begin to trickle in over time. And if you stick with things long enough, you may become one of the lucky few who can turn blogging into a full-time career. Obviously, this is a huge career move that would surely change your life.
3. By blogging you may find out that you are reducing the level of stress in your life. Believe it or not, simply getting your feelings onto your blog can help you to release tension. This is especially true if you keep a blog about your personal or work life. Some people have no intentions on making money or increasing readership. Instead, they write for themselves and that is good enough.
As you can see, blogging can change your life. But do not let this scare you. If you watch what you are doing, it will never change you in a bad way!
As you probably know by now, I am intrigued by the way that Associated Content does business. When you think about it, AC is nothing more than one giant blog that allows anybody who is a member to contribute content. For this reason, I began to think about the possibilities of ReviewMe and AC working together. More specifically, would ReviewMe allow me to use my AC page for paid reviews?
Personally, I am still not sure if ReviewMe fits this blog. For now, I would rather leave this monetization method out of the equation. I definitely want to try it out in the future, but until then, Chrisblogging.com is going to be ReviewMe free.
In the meantime, I am going to check with both ReviewMe and AC to see what they think about my idea. I am sure somebody else has already asked about this, and maybe it is okay, but I want to find out for myself.
As soon as they get back to me with an answer, I will get back to you!
