I previously wrote an article about why professional writers should write for Associated Content. You can read that article here

Associated Content is also an excellent place for beginning writers to get published, and actually get paid to write. Here are the ins and outs of writing for Associated Content.

1. Your lack of experience as a writer doesn't matter with Associated Content. A query letter is not required, nor is an impressive bio. If you have the ability to write well, you'll likely find it easy to break into Associated Content.

2. Payment is between $3 - 20 per article. That's not much, but especially if you are a newer and previously unpaid writer, even a small amount of pay can give you a sense of accomplishment, and can help you start making money as a writer. Additionally, Associated Content pays bonuses based on the number of times your articles are viewed, which enables you to continue to earn money after your work is published. If you're good at promoting your articles, the bonus based on page views can be substantial.

3. You can write on just about any topic you know. The great thing about being able to write on most any topic, is that your everyday experiences can be turned into articles and bring in some money. For instance, if you go out to dinner, write a restaurant review and submit it. If you purchase a product you especially like or dislike, write a product review. If you have a hobby, write articles relating to that hobby, and so on. Since experiences from your every day life provide plenty of fodder for articles, you'll likely never run out of ideas to write about for Associated Content.
