Due to Associated Content's new page view bonus system, there is undoubtedly the need to cash in on the popularity of articles. However, making cash off page views can be difficult, especially for those who are new to the site. To be quite honest, we've all read articles on how people made $300 just from page views alone. These articles support mad promoting and mass article submitting, but not everyone can do that. What you're about to find out is that you simply don't need to promote to make good money from your content. In fact, all you need is the content itself.

I don't have a blog. I don't email my articles to anyone at all. I don't bookmark my articles either. I can honestly say I don't promote my articles even in the least bit. Yet somehow, every month, I can expect a payout from Associated Content. This past page view update (May 22nd, 2007) I received just under 25,000 total page views without any promoting at all. I was shocked and stunned, as this was the best page view update for me. So how did I do it?

Mass Amounts:

Firstly, I have over 120 articles. Even articles from summer of 2006 are still working for me. If you want the page views, you're going to have to write, and write, and write. The more content, the more chances your articles will be read and the more you'll cash in. Currently I write about 2 articles a day during the week and 3 articles a day on the weekend. If you want that page view bonus, you're going to have to write as much as you can. Still, keep in mind that it's always quality over quantity. Create a schedule for yourself on when and how much you're going to write. Your goal can be an article a week, or 10 articles a day. It always depends on how much time you have and how bad you want that bonus.

Good points, all. I'm a new CP and interested in learning everything I can, and you've been a big help.

Thanks for the helpful advice. Making my titles more keyword-sensitive as well could work for me. I can tell by the titles that it isn't "clever" that gets them noticed.

Thanks for the tips! I took a 6 month break from AC because I went out of the country. When I came back, I found I was still getting bonuses for page views. I guess I'll just have to get back to writing!

I'm glad to see that I won't have to pander to Digg, Delicious, etc. Thanks for the awesome advice.
