Associated Content Vs. Constant Content

As more people turn to the web to get their news, reviews and information, freelance writers are stepping in to fill the role of Content Producers and writing web content. Two websites where content producers can make money for their work are Associated Content and Constant Content. Although they both cater to content producers, the two are very different. Which one is better for the content producers in the long run?

Associated Content is a people's media company. It is a site of informative articles, videos, audio, poetry and prose created by content producers who then promote their publications. Content producers are paid for articles and videos, generally around $3-$15 per submission, although payments can get as high as $20. Submissions are purchased either exclusive or non exclusive by Associated Content and offers are decided by keyword density, quality of the submission and topic saturation, that is, how many articles on the site currently cover the same topic. Content producers are also paid a page view bonus for the number of hits their articles receive.

Constant Content is a website where content producers can upload their articles for sale to the public. Content producers set their own prices for a number of different rights packages. A content producer could ask for $10 for a usage purchase, that is, the buyer could use an article on a website but other buyers could purchase and use the article as well, and $50 for a full rights package where a buyer would purchase the exclusive rights to an article and it would not be available for sale anymore. Constant Content will then take a percentage of the sale price for their services. Buyers can also request specific content and freelance writers can fill their requests.
