Freelance Writing: How to Make Your Associated Content Writings Work for You

As a writer for Associated Content, you've probably become aware that most content doesn't receive a large monetary offer for publication. While with the page view bonus, or performance bonus, there is the opportunity for a residual income from content published here; in the end it still doesn't normally amount to much.

However, there is a way that you can "recycle" the content that you offer for paid publication on Associated Content that will not only increase your page views, but it will eventually put more money in your pocket by adding clients for your own freelance writing services.

What you need to make this system work:

1) An account with Associated Content.

2) Content submitted for payment consideration with non-exclusive rights on Associated Content.

3) A website where you offer freelance writing services.

4) An xml/rss parser script (perl or php generally)

5) The ability to add the parsing script to your freelance writing website or the ability to hire someone to do it.

6) A small list of high ranking article directories or websites that accept select article submissions; usually this is better with directories that do not allow syndication.

We'll skip the obvious steps of creating an account with Associated Content and the submission of content, as if you get stuck on these points; you should get the hang of things a little bit before attempting this method.

Step 1: Create a freelance writing website

If you don't already have one, this method requires the use of your own freelance writing website; preferably one that lists your writing services and also has a way for potential clients to order services straight from your website.

Step 2: Add an xml/rss feed parser

For this method to work correctly, you will need to take the rss/xml feed URL from your Associated Content page and have the output, which is the title and description of the content you've submitted on Associated Content, print out your published content as your "freelance writing examples" page.
