Hey popmania,
Here's a few more things to add to your existing list:
2) It's best not to create all accounts at once. Spread it out and create them only as you need them.
3) You can have two legit Pay*pal accounts (1 personal, 1premier/business) so attach 8 AC accounts to each Pay*pal. Also, you don't wait until you reach $500-$600 to withdraw your AC earnings, just hit the "auto-confirm" button in your AC user profile and you'll have money in your Pay*pal from AC every Mon. Weds and Fri.
4) Don't dump the account, leave it attached until you need that open slot again from your Pay*pal email addresses (doing this allows you to continue earning page view payments with the account)
Also, they won't pay you upfront payments no matter how good you content is if you are a non US citizen. The only way is to use this method outlined.
I didn't say that they'd pay non-US people upfront. I was actually referring to the people registered as US citizens(like me). AC just needs to check our IPs to know we aren't from the US, but if we're giving them good content, they'll allow us to continue......this is what I read here.
And could you please elaborate on point 4. I didn't get it.
