oh my, I started out posting with all the exclusive options and one of 4 was accepted for $1.50.. and now I tried non-exclusive and If gets accepted oh my it`ll be less than the former. haha! Anyhow, thanks sir redtide for your tips.. I haven't purchased your tutorial just yet but I`m saving for it =)
You're welcome Nitro, until you get the guide I would suggest tweaking what you did with your first submissions so you don't have too many rejections flowing in. Again, I'll do a basic rundown of what usually brings the higher upfront payments: Needs to sound/read like it's from a native English speaker, keyword density of 2-3% with keywords in title, subtitle, first sentence and rest of the article, at least 2 sources cited and not be written on an oversaturated/broad niche.
Shoot me PM and I'll work with you on getting the Guide, it won't be free but I will work with you on a payment plan.
Hey Red.. Just wanted to give an update on my progress.
I've submitted 10 articles. Only one has been published I'm still waiting for them to review the others. The one that has publish received an upfront payment of $2.65. I'm not too worried because that was the one that didn't have sources and was only about 350 words. It was one of the sample articles I had my writers re-write. I'm very excited to see what kind of payments the others get. I just purchased the AC Mass Submitter and had a question about it .. Do you send the article formatter to your rewriters and just have them send the .txt file back to you? and if you do, do you just go to your ac page to make the edits and check copyscape after you've sent the articles through the mass submitter?
Thanks for the update AnthraxX, $2.65 isn't a bad start for a first submission. Once you get the results of the rest just tweak what you're doing based on the book and the info in this thread. Learn from each offer that you get back after review what to tweak to bring your upfront offers up higher.
Yeah, my rewriters put the finished articles into the formatter and send them back to me, I do a quick proofread and edit of each and then send them as a batch to my submitter (she keeps a copy of Danny's software) and she submits them. Basically, I only see the articles when I first send them off and then for a quick proofread. The next time I see them is when I'm getting my offers from AC and they're getting published.
Hope this clarified
may be some luck is following me
submitted another 4 articles just now

lets see how it goes.
Good luck BH, just be careful sending too many that are below the minimum word count
^You're really lucky. Maybe I should try submitting short but very well written articles as well.
It's worth a shot preedge, but again it was certiainly kind of a fluke deal mate.
Btw BH_Manic, they weren't C4C's were they?
hey redtide
dude one more article of mine got selected and it was just due to the niche u suggested to write on......though it was an indirect pointing but it helped a lot.....now i will be exploring the niche more and more so as to get better results. can u plz tell me how 2 increase clout level...coz i wanna do so...
and yeah by 2morrow it will be in my bank...i am desperate in buying d book....
Cool, I'm glad it helped gladiator. As far as clout, we've talked about how to raise it throughout this thread. I would start by going about 5-7 pages back and reading up on my Twitter method. It's been driving solid amounts of traffic to my articles and main source pages at AC. Again, Twitter sucks for CPA conversions but it rocks for AC page views, especially when you target writers, and anyone following Associated Content's own Twitter page. Like I told Nitroholickid, shoot me a PM and I'll work with you on the guide if you're strapped for dough mate.
Cheers all,
Redtide
