Writing for Money Vs. Writing for Me
A sunrise or two later the unrelenting clamor of my last two nickels banging together induced a brain wave. I need to stop writing the kind of things that I want to write, and start writing the kind of things that AC wants if I want money. I'll never care about Brittney somebody, and I barely recognize a sports statistic if I meet one on Atlantic Avenue. But I'm learning to find discoverable topics, write boring titles and jam articles full of keywords.Oh shucks, it's just a job after all.
This, of course, is an opinion, and therefore posted with no upfront offer. If you are reading this you better come back often. I just need 1874 more clicks to make my $3.00.

Joan, you are too funny!! I can't believe I just got around to reading this... We have both come a long way on AC and you passed me after joining after me! :D You have truly accomplished something here, whether or not it is good pay, eh? You have written over 50 articles which is more than some can say. Keep up the great work! :D
Great job Sharky!

Just in case you are back to those 'two nickels' (which I doubt given your many talents) here's another view. Loved the article Sharky and all I can say is "how true, how true". An enjoyable read.
I laughed so hard, I cried! Sorry, I just had to say that. You're awesome!
Hi Sparkle! Yes, I rarely even bother to ask for upfront pay here anymore. It's too frustrating.
This was really cute, and might I add true of the AC experience. I am also still searching for that unlimited cash (which has been fairly limited, as far as I'm concerned), and I have over 80 articles published. They always keep you guessing as to what they will pay for, and after awhile you just roll with the punches, right? I fugure anything I make here is a bonus.
Thanks, Candida... you are very kind. Glad we are becoming friends, if only internet ones.
Loved your journey through AC! Been there, still do that:) Seriously though, you are a fine writer. And those of us who enjoy well written and thoughtful articles will be looking for more from you.
You hit the nail right on the head with this one. I love it. You rock!
Great read. I enjoyed it. :) and here's my .0015, too
