How to Become an Associated Content Superstar

Alas, I am not an Associated Content superstar, but I do aspire to become one. And I have a pretty good idea of what it takes to achieve superstardom on Associated Content. Here are some tips on how to become an Associated Content superstar.

1. Be prolific. Of course, some Content Producers have more free time on their hands than others. But even with a limited amount of spare time, a good way to be prolific is to set aside a certain number of hours each week to write your Associated Content articles and work on developing a following. Do not stray from writing during those designated hours. And if you find yourself able to devote additional time to Associated Content, use that opportunity. Being prolific will help boost your Page Views by keeping you in the spotlight, and you will be well on your way to becoming an Associated Content superstar.

2. Be opinionated. Some of the content that receives the most Page Views and Comments on Associated Content are those pieces in which the author raises a controversial subject and offers his or her own opinion. In order to accomplish this, you need not choose a very serious topic such as abortion or the death penalty. In fact, simple, light-hearted articles can often become hotbeds of controversy. Take my article, "The Most Irritating New Trends in Baby Names" for example. Over 90 comments, some of which were rather nasty, all because I struck a nerve. But the heated debate was ultimately beneficial to me and fun. The fact that opinions can lead to superstardom was also evident in the 2006 People's Media Awards.

3. Be friendly. There are many fine people writing for Associated Content. No need to feel shy. Drop in at the Forums and strike up a conversation. Leave Comments below content that you find to be well-written, fascinating and fun. Many of the friendlier people on Associated Content that I have met in the forums or who have left Comments on my articles have also earned me as a Constant Reader. I visit their CP Pages frequently, or sign up as a subscriber. Being friendly is a good way to become an Associated Content superstar.
