Earn Money By Writing Reviews Online
There are many places that will pay you to write product reviews and articles on just about any topic you can think of. Some pay per page view, some pay an upfront fee and a few of them pay both.
Associated Content aka = AC is one that will pay you upfront for your reviews, how to guides and articles. You can be paid anywhere from $2.00 and up. My articles average around $3.00 I think most people get about that. You also get performance payments which is $1.50 per thousand. 1,000 page views sounds like a lot but with social networking sites such as Twitter it is easier than ever. You do not have to be an expert at what you are writing about just pick a hot topic. I like to write about American Idol and Big Brother. I write a weekly article about the show and get about 1,000 hits a day from just one article. There is no risk of this site disappearing like other scam sites. I stand behind Associated Content 100%.
Something that is nice to know is that you can keep the rights to publish your articles elsewhere. I just post them at AC first submit them for upfront payment and once they are reviewed, accepted and paid for I can republish them anywhere else. The sites that will allow you to republish your AC articles are Bukisa, Factoidz, Examiner, Xomba and Gather. You will have the option to either give AC exclusive rights to your articles or you can keep the rights to yourself. You would think that there would be a big difference in the upfront payment that they offer you but there really is not. I keep the rights to all of my articles now that I know that. Another cool thing to know about AC is that you can publish your other articles that you have written in the past for other sites there. When you are submitting these just submit it for performance payments only and you will be paid for the page views it receives.
When you first sign up for Associated Content there is a grace period in which they take about a week to review your first articles but that will speed up once you have your first 3 articles approved by them. When you submit an article for upfront payment it will take 1-3 days for them to make an offer for your work. You will get an email that will offer you a price usually right around $3.00. You just accept the offer and within a couple of hours you will get a payment through Paypal. After you are paid the article will be published on Associated Content and they will email you a link that you can email to your friends and family, post on your blog or tweet on Twiiter. There is a huge amount of AC writers that are on twitter and they are more than happy to support you, throw some page views your way and even RT (retweet) your article links to their followers.
I don't believe that AC has a referral system that you can benefit from monetarily at this time. I do have a referral link that you can sign up through anyway and once you join please add me as a friend I will always view your articles. My name there is Rachel Ellis.

This is my formula to get the most money out of each article
When you begin to write an article you will see a page that may be hard to understand if you have never seen it before. AC just wants to know if they can have exclusive rights to your content. You'll want to keep the rights to your articles because those same articles can be easily copy/pasted into many other paying sites. You won't be paid much more by AC if you give them the rights. From what I have seen they only pay an additional .10 - .20 cents per article to own the rights. You can make much more than that by using this formula I have figured out. You'll always want to start by posting your original article on AC then after you have received your paypal payment you are free to post the articles everywhere else. With your future AC articles you must do the following,
After AC offers to pay you, you can submit the same exact article to Bukisa, Gather, Xomba, etc. If you do the above for your AC articles you will own the rights to your work and can then copy/paste to the other sites. The other sites will only ask you if you own the rights and if you do it this way then the answer will be yes. It is legal and you cannot get in trouble for doing this on the sites that I previously mentioned. I have personally spoken with their reps and got the go ahead from each of those sites. If AC rejects your article give it to Factoidz. I hope this formula helps and if you have any questions or concerns I am always online don't hesitate to ask me. :o) Rachel

The writing sites that I have banners for below are all good sites to join, for a list of websites where you should definitely not waste your time click the following link.
Writing websites that I approve of are below.
If you are referred to Factoidz by a member you will not have to go through the normal waiting period before you can earn. The link above will take you straight there as a referral or you can choose to add my code in the box at the bottom of the page where it asks for it. Either way you will bypass the waiting period. My Factoidz Affiliate Code is 7R4172
Bukisa is one of my favorite paid to write sites. The main reason why I love Bukisa is because of the freedom they give you. I write for tons of other sites and there are many that have confusing publishing rules and strict policies. Bukisa has none of that crap! You can copy and paste your previously published Examiner, Factoidz or AP articles and reviews over at Bukisa and start earning for page views immediately. The minimum word count per article is only 250 words. Everything gets approved and the PPM is $3.22 (that's better than Associated Content). If you sign up for Bukisa as my referral I will always throw some page views your way.
Helium does not have referral links but they do have a referral system in place. If you would like a personal invitation to Helium please email me with your email address, first and last name just put Helium in the subject of your email. Click here to email.
