Why You're Not Making a Living Writing for AC

10 Reasons Why People Fail at Writing for AC

When I wrote the article, "Make a Living Writing for Associated Content" I got a lot of great comments from people who were inspired to work harder for AC, but I unfortunately got other reactions as well. There were people who went on to write articles claiming that I was wrong, that it
 was impossible to make a living writing for AC. This article explains why some people aren't making a living writing for AC.

Why You're Not Making a Living Writing for AC #1: You Lack Determination

This is the biggest reason why some people aren't making a living writing for AC. Too many people lack the determination it requires to make AC their full-time job. They aren't able to sit down and make themselves work without having a supervisor instructing them every step of the way. Put simply, you must have determination if you want to make a living writing for AC.

Why You're Not Making a Living Writing for AC #2: You Don't Proof Read Your Articles

In order to get good offers from AC, you must give them good content. If you write an article and don't go back and proof read your content, before submitting it, it will contain errors. AC wants articles that are free of grammar and spelling errors. They may look over the occasional error, but if your article is filled with errors you will never make a living writing for AC.

Why You're Not Making a Living Writing for AC #3: You Don't Use Keywords Correctly

Once I learned to properly use keywords, my offers increased by 20%. You must know how to properly use keywords if you ever hope to make a living writing for AC. To properly use keywords, you must choose a popular keyword and then you must use a keyword analysis tool to make sure you have the proper amount of keywords, which is 2-5%. Check the resources section for a great article on keywords.

Why You're Not Making a Living Writing for AC #4: You Choose Poor Topics

Flat out, topics of little interest will not get offers. You must be able to choose topics that will be searched for. For example, choose topics that involve upcoming holidays. You should also look at search engines and see what the popular searches are at that time.

I have been steadfastly increasing my page views on AC by promoting my content, but the pay is still nothing to retire on. I am now looking into keyword optimization. Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to put all these reasons into words. We are only holding ourselves back, truly. AC has not set any limits on the amount we can contribute and promote, so the sky's the limit!

I let life get in the way. But it's not completely my fault because I live w/ boyfriend's parents, don't go to school, work part time. I have a LOT of free time but being part of a noisy, busy family w/ three dogs makes it tough to sit down and focus. Plus, my computer crashed so I have to use my boyfriend's computer which he also uses for work. Point being, I think that if you could edit this article, you should add "lack of resources" or something. I write on paper, but don't have enough computer use/focus to write. There are way too many distractions that are unavoidable. It's so frustrating because I am deeply committed to writing full time.
