AC usually pays for all assignments listed with a price on the assignment desk. I've always been paid when I written on a paid assignment.
The ones with out a price, AC will not pay for.

Keep in mind that if the assignment is on a popular niche it may still be worth doing for the page views alone. I typically avoid the C4C's as far as upfront pay, but they can be great for bringing up your total page view average, which in turn helps with your upfront offers on everything else you submit.

@redtide- yea,sonic snooper is great. I tried that other program and didnt really like it. it's more for generating content on a blog, i think. And as for the proxies, none of the ones i received worked but like milly girl said, i appreciate the effort.
btw, thank you again. I just got 18 out of 20 articles accepted and it feels great. I can honestly say I couldnt have dont it without you.

Then, it took me around 30-45 mins to write one article. Now it takes me about 15 mins to write one. Sometimes 30 if i have never written on the subject before. And 2.75 is great when your first starting out. I think that was either my first or second time submitting articles.
Now, if you are consistently getting that amount over a long period of time and you are writing your own articles than it may not be worth it. But if you are outsourcing rewrites for $1 and you are making 2.75 than you're making a decent amount back.

@ tchashow - Congrats! 18 out of 20 accepted are excellent numbers. You're welcome btw, I'm glad the book and thread have helped!
@ tamsin - Like tchashow said, it's about looking at it from a longterm perspective. That amount isn't much if you're doing the writing yourself, but it adds up when you're outsourcing it. The whole ball game changes profit wise when you're getting $5+ upfronts and mass submitting.
@ mariopits - congrats on getting your first $3+ upfront
@ kp dom - We talked about it quite a bit on the first 4 pages of the thread. You simply do a G0ogle search for your articles keywords and look at the content of the sites in the search results. Choose a few that have content that closely resembles what your rewrite consists of and you're good to go. Paste that url into the "resources box" when submitting your article or you can just put it underneath the last paragraph.
Cheers,
Red

hi guys! this is my first post. I created a new account on AC a month back. My 6 articles out of 19 got approved & made $14.06. Also 3 days back i claimed a topic which got accepted today. but the problem is when i claimed that article the offer was of $4, & when i checked it agin after claiming, it reduced to $2.75. Though this is my highest upfront. May be this is due to not being at higher clout level. Though it doesnt matter as long as they pay me. I m also lookin forward at $10 bonus for beginners.
my prev account was quite successful. I earned $36.97 with just 8 articles(incl. $10 bonus) & now is at clout level 4. But the problem is i tried phone verification of that account. But it failed twice. Now they are askin me to contact them. What should i do? Though i havent used that account for submitting since the new account created.

@red- You know I don't have your book yet. Is that a hint? lol. I'm still planning on getting it. Its just that the extra money I'm getting is going towards Christmas presents.
P.S. If you're feeling friendly and want to get me a present, then I know the perfect gift. lol.

@ prasentjit1847 - I read over your post but it has me a little confused. The account that you made $36.97 with, how were you able to submit and make the $36 if it wasn't phone verified?
@ streetballa - Sorry to hear that! I left you some feedback on what it could have been. Let me know if it clarifies some things.
@ Shownuff - Cool deal, now I would work on optimizing your articles a bit more so that you're making more for upfronts on each piece. It sounds like you've got the time spent way down to a reasonable level which is great.
@ tchashow - My bad, I have a hard time remembering who does and doesn't have it.
I know, Christmas is definitely looming large but I'm sure you understand that I can't play Santa with it. I'm not sure if I had offered it to you but I can do a payment plan if you want to grab it after Christmas.
Cheers,
Red

No problem, glad it helped
I wouldn't abandon the account just yet. I would submit another round after doing the things I talked to you about and see what happens. If you still have similiar results I would then consider starting fresh with a new account. Keep in mind that if you already had a few other accounts in place you would be able to compare results and confirm that your account has or hasn't been flagged. It makes it handy to be able to see whether a certain account is getting lower offers or rejections in comparison to other accounts.
Regarding the subtitle, no I wouldn't really get used to just using the first sentence of the article. Few articles will have a first sentence that works well as a subtitle.

I Dont understand whats goin on with my twitter accounts. I Did like you said and let 2000 people follow me back and unfollowed who wasn't following and it's still saying unable to follow. If my account was flagged wouldn't I not even be able to log into it?

@ Anthrax - Yeah, if your account gets suspended you'll see it as soon as you go to log in (just like with AC). If you're up to the 2000 followers, I'm not sure why they aren't letting you add more people. I would give it a day or two and see if that makes a difference. Also, you may think about starting a thread about it in the "social networking" subforum where all of the heavy Twitter users may be able to clarify it. Sorry I can't be of more help on that.
@ tchashow - I know mate...no worries
Like I said, I'll still honor that same price.

hi redtide. actually that account was created much earlier, when there was no phone verification.
Is there any way reactivating it. Though I am not insisting over that account.
