Why I Choose to Donate my AC Payments

I am not one of those obsessed Associated Content lovers where I'm swearing that writing for AC has paid my mortgage, car note or all my bills. But the occasional 3-8 dollars per article came in handy for last minute birthday gifts and other trinkets I would find for myself on eBay. It was nice and convenient to use AC's payments for online shopping because the money is already sitting there in paypal. But as I accumulated more and more junk I really didn't need, I noticed that there were helpful organizations who offered much needed donation through paypal payments. That's when I decided to start writing for AC for a cause.

I recently became hired by a local newspaper as their columnist. Nothing could make me happier because I was not just someone searching online to get paid without getting off my butt, I was an out of work writer who wanted to finely tune my craft. In many ways I do owe associated content for this, but I am very glad I no longer have to value my writing with the pennies they offer me, or denials with no dialog, just brief explanation. (Even as brief as " we want to publish this but don't want to offer payment.) It always irritated me that I could never speak back to this invisible editor rating my work.

So now it's great to be free and whatever AC offers me will go to some needy causes. My first cause is to www.yourchristianspace.com. This website that is trying to accomplish a more wholesome version of myspace needs donations for bandwith and other things. I have spoke with the creator, Will and he is very kind and have a kind heart.

My next needy cause to donate with my AC payments will be www.changinglives.org. Lifechangers church feed thousands of needy youth all over the world as well as give to their members right in their church. I know this because I was the recipient of one of those very generous gifts quite some time ago.
