@ blackstone - lol I couldn't have said it better myself
@ del-boy -
I like your thinking on that...It's certainly possible, but unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying I think the math may be off. If you have 10 writers doing 10 articles a day each, that would be 100 articles a day, times 7 days would be 700 articles a week. Also, going by your figures and using 5 accounts you would be submitting 20 per day per account. This would be bad news and probably end up getting your accounts suspended because submitting that many per account will have them more than likely looking into your PP account.
With that said though, you're thinking big which kicks ass in my book :headbang:
If you decide to scale it up to this level it would definitely be something I'd want to follow if you started a journal thread with how things progress.
I just started working on my next form of scaling AC over the last week. I hired two more writers (now a total of 6) and I'm going to outsource half of the content scraping portion of my daily workload. If I can train the person and teach them to scrape ONLY quality content, then I'm thinking of possibly outsourcing all of the content scraping in the future. Obviously, content is king with AC so I need the person to scrape the same quality I have been, or my upfronts are going to drop way off.
Should be interesting
Let me know if I misread your math del
Cheers,

No, it's my fault
What I meant to say was 5 writers
5 writers x 10 articles a day = 50 articles a day
50 articles a day x 7 days = 350 articles a week
At minimum, I figure around $350 profit per week (at $2 per article):
Cost to you: $350
Payment from AC (at $2 per article): $700
Profit: $350
Anyone who's purchased your ebook, should be making $2 per article AT MINIMUM.
If you put in a bit more effort, and read the ebook properly, cover to cover, you should be making at least $2.50, which gives you over $500 profit a week.
Startup cost = $27 (1 rewriter x 10 articles) + (ebook by redtide $17)
minimum return on 10 articles = between $20 - $60 on average ($2 - $3 per article).
BLACKHAT RECYCLING - THREE MORE WAYS TO MAKE MONEY FROM A.C.
(redtide and others, feel free to tell me what you think of these)
All of these require a high clout level
(All methods are theories, and as yet untested)
1. Focus on a specific category, and become a specialist writer in your field, i.e. parenting, match this with a high enough clout level, and they should offer you a reviewer position on A.C. Then, everybody benefits from your new position (for a price)
2. A high clout level means one thing: your content pulls in loads of viewers. What's the best way to earn from this ?
Sell your resource spaces on here
What is a resource space ?
When you're publishing your article, one of the optional steps is to link to other related articles on A.C. What could be better for you as a newbie A.C., than a content producer with a high clout level linking to your article (s) ?
Think about this example for a second:
I have 5 accounts on A.C.
I have a clout level of 5 on each of them. This means that I'm getting around 5000 viewers per account. I would hazard a guess, that at least 30% of these would click on the resource (note, resource, not sources) links on my articles. That means at least 1500 viewers to your article. In essence, I'm selling traffic from my highly viewed articles to you.
3. This is a twist on method 2 (listed above). You sell article space on here.
Here's an example:
You have websites/ebooks/whatever on parenting. I focus my article around your niche, and put links or mention your site within my article.
I could even list your site as one of the sources of my article.
Now think about this :
You offer a package offering all three of the above.
Here's another (shock shock, horror horror

) example, to help you visualize this:
You come across one of my Blackhat Recycling Packages. For $25, i'm offering you:
a. 10 of your articles reviewed by me on A.C., meaning that they are accepted by me on behalf of A.C. (bringing you minimum of $20)
b. resource links to your 10 articles, from 10 of my articles, from my clout 5 account. (bringing you at least 1000 views to each of your 10 articles)
c. those 10 articles of mine are focused around your niche, and link to your site/ebook, and mention the site/ebook as a source.
Now, isn't that something you'd go for ? I know I would
Finally,
Why is it called Blackhat Recycling ?
Instead of having to abandon accounts after $500, you make accounts specifically for the purpose of recycling (reusing time and time again). So, you use your blackhat skills to build 5 accounts with high clout, while having minimum articles and thus minimum payout (remember these accounts aren't to make money from A.C.). This way, you can keep adding articles, according to the needs of your customers, and not hit the $500 barrier.
There's loads more info I could add, but won't, I mean c'mon where's the fun in that ?

There's also a lot left unsaid, either:
a. because it's covered in redtide's book
or
b. it's not in redtide's book, so I may offer it as a service, and my own ebook (step by step dummies guide), that won't step on redtide's toes.
Let me make it clear that I believe redtide's book covers everything that you need to know about making money from A.C. Any ebook I sell will be like an expansion pack for redtide's book, so if you haven't bought his, you won't be able to get maximum benefit from this post, from my ebook, or from any services offered.
Finally, as soon as I get a clout level high enough, I'm going to put this into practice, and if it works, I'll be offering it as a service on here
