Non-Exclusive Articles Have a Place in Associated Content Also

There are many questions on the Associated Content forum dealing with exclusive vs. non-exclusive articles. There are advantages to both depending on the situation or article.

Normally, if the article is submitted for pay, it is better to be exclusive. Exclusive articles generally received offers 30% higher than a non-exclusive article. For example, an article receiving $7 as non-exclusive would be about $9. This doesn't seem much. However, if you write 5 articles a day, that could be a $10 difference or $300 monthly.

The article must be non-exclusive if it was previously published elsewhere. That could be a book, e-book, newsletter, website or article directory to name a few. If you don't want to receive pay and just want exposure on the internet, non-exclusive may be a good option. There are many sites that are article directories looking for fresh content.

If you have a newsletter for your subscribers and write your own articles, it can be submitted to Associated Content as well. For example, my articles written for my newsletter are published on Associated Content first. I put the link to my URL on Associated Content in my newsletter. This helps with views which will help increase your clout.

If you add fresh content to your website, you may be able to make a non-exclusive article and submit it also to Associated Content. The same strategy will work for a blog also.

One other thing to consider is to use your previous articles on Associated Content to help with your clout on a current article. For example, your current article is about breeding German Shepherds. In the course of describing something in more detail, you give the URL to your Associated Content published article dealing with training German Shepherds. This gives the reader more likely to read that article and other topic related articles. In fact, if they like your writing, they may even check out more articles dealing published by you. Increasing your clout may help increase you paid articles also.
