Is Quality Writing Important on AC? Absolutely!

AssociatedContent touts itself as "The People's Media Company". As such, a variety of writing levels and styles are published on AC, leaving Content Producers to sometimes wonder...Is quality important for submissions on AC?

The answer is yes. Quality matters. Quality writing matters more to some than others, but everyone benefits from quality, error free writing on AC. Granted, AssociatedContent is a generally lower paying market than other web content clients; this is a large part of why AC is a good place to start writing and why writers are not subject to the stringent submission guidelines of other freelance writing sites. Nevertheless, every writer on AC should strive for the best quality content they can put forward, free from typos, misspellings, and other blaring writing problems.

What can quality AC writing do for you?

Better Offers

For starters, better quality AssociatedContent writing nets better content offers. A minute spent on the forum will show that almost every writer here is trying to learn how to get better offers from Content Managers.

Start submitting informative articles that are readable and well-written. Strip away as many spelling mistakes and typos as possible. Your offers are sure to increase over the same article submitted without proofreading and editing, with little added effort.

Featured Content

In the recent past here on AC a writer complained in the comments section of another writer's piece that her article was grossly overlooked by the AC powers that be, despite the fact that it was similar to other featured articles and offered useful information for Content Producers. A link was provided and several readers followed.

Upon reading the article, it was clear why the article was overlooked. There was, in fact, good information, but the article was not as well written as the articles that were featured. The content was choppy, contained typos and spelling errors, and was not a flowing read even though a concise web-format was technically followed. In short, the article was not quality. The same article with a little editing may very well have been featured AC content.
