How to Get Paid More for Your Associated Content Articles

If you have published more than one thing on associatedcontent.com, you may notice that the pricing is a little weird. For example, a memoir I poured a lot into and gave exclusive rights to paid me $5. Five dollars is still a lot, but I felt like my story was worth a little bit more. Later, I had written a Byline article that was first published on my blog and even on gather.com. I expected a few dollars for it because it was non-exclusive and it was a pretty easy article to write. Instead, I received $8 for it! So what is it that makes some articles higher paying and other not worth that much payment?

Originality: As I compare my two articles, I realize that several people have published their memoirs. Not much makes mine stand out besides it being an inspiring story of how I got my black belt. However, when I searched for bylines, I see that my article is right on top. There are a few other articles on bylines, but they are not as directed as mine. The editors probably offered me more money for this article because it was the only one on their site. You can test your article's originality by going to the ac library. Type in "Britney Spears." You get a lot of articles on her. Then you can type in "cleaning your vacuum." No results. Originality is a good thing to have when writing your articles, but it is not always the best in getting higher payment.

Keywords: As I said in the paragraph above, originality is a great thing. However, say you did write an article about cleaning your vacuum. How many people around the world are going to google or search for it. My guess is not very many. Keywords are a word used in your article a couple of times. They are great to increase your traffic flow to your site. Since they increase traffic flow to your site, they also increase traffic flow to all of associatedcontent.com. If the editors see that your article has the potential to attract visitors from search engines, then your article price will be raised. Go ahead and try to google a simple phrase like, "byline for payment." You might notice that my articles some up first.
