Made $30 on two articles today

i said, i have only one account. why so caustic?

Pardon.:D.

However, it still stands, anything you did concerning red's method is against AC's TOS. (the use of proxies, using online pva's, non-American/US resident receiving upfront payment, etc.). If you're American, one account, and you have been banned you can contact them concerning why. Though I believe it's pretty pointless because they simply don't care.
 
Ive got loads of old fully verified PayPal a/cs (non-us), so ive added AC accounts with the same name (but as US resident) to 10 of them and verified the PayPal account on it straight away- no phone verification required (this is actually easier for me). Just had another payment go in without trouble. I called paypal to find out for sure if they could see my location and they said no, don't want to count my chickens but maybe there is still a way around this.
 
Wow nice didn't even know they paid out that much for articles. Always thought it was around $4.
 
Hey, Boondoggle... i dont understand, how do you open up multiple paypal accounts? everytime i try and open a new account, it gets linked to my master account. do i need to open a new bank account, or credit/debit card?
 
Anyone figure out what they are checking yet to detect multiple accounts?
 
ac is really cracking down guys.

i have a feeling that they read this thread too.

better copy and paste before this thread is deleted.
 
I agree that before the whole crackdown on Red, AC seemed like quite a viable albeit doable option. Perhaps because Red was there to guide and advise. Now that everyting is out in the open and AC are evidently more wise to what's happening, is it even worth the hassle of trying to outsmart them for a measly $3- $4 if you're that lucky, per article ? (This question is directed to non US residents)

For non US Blackhatters specifically from the UK , writing articles for that payout is quite a laugh anyway. There is no way one can hope to make anything given the exchange rate, just saying.
 
Totally agree. This "doable" option is definitely not for the feint hearted. The more I do it the more difficult it seems to get- fewer up front offers, lower upfront offers (despite the extra care in choosing articles and keywords), new restrictions, unexplained account closures. Its a lot of work for a very uncertain payoff.
 
AC is trying their best to become legit and reputable site (insert hysterical laugh here). Have you all not seen the Guest Contributor list?

Code:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/guestcontributors/
All of the people there I have never heard in my entire life but I guess they are "big names" if AC is trying to grab them. And I'm pretty sure AC isn't paying them $5 per article.

In the end, AC will be the ones who are profitable because they will ban your blackhat account and keep the articles for themselves. They will continue to get hits and clicks on those articles while you will continue to sign up and submit articles. Count your loses. Get a wordpress blog or a blogger blog and start rewriting articles. Add some ads and adsense, promote and call it a day.

Yeah,AC WINS ALL THE WAY
 
Hi redtide! I am new here in BHW and i didnt know how much a writer can really earn. I used to freelance in GAF and when i found how much the real pay should be, i stopped.

I would like to try it on my own now and see how i can work for myself :)

Thanks for the post, its really helpful.

Can i just ask a sample article from you so i can improve my craft and learn more about format, content, density, etc? Thanks again and 'thanks' given :)
 
Folks - I hope this is not very tangential - IF AC sucks these are sites that can pay, I collected them over a period of time

No its not tangential (nice word btw) its exactly what's needed. Number 11 is particularly useful.
Excellent post- im going to tattoo your name on my ass
 
How bizarre, with all the recent bad news surrounding AC for articles, I still managed to make $4.43 on my very first article. I found a very good technology niche, so the money with AC is still out there.

nice job. the last time i wrote an article for pay was a while ago. i've been doing promoting mostly so far. and working on a few other projects besides AC.
 
Well done Prawks :D

Even without AC there is great info from RedTide's guide and this freakin
mad thread that I can apply to many other areas so all good.

I'm looking at opening bank accounts in various countries to begin my
takeover of the world! Would love to hear of anyone here who has done this
(either multiple international accounts or global domination) and used paypal
for payment....if I don't get reply I will start another thread.

Global domination, huh? Interesting goal. I was into it once. Back in those days there was no need for this 'PayPal', I took payments by force. But there are always people to try and stop you and it becomes too much of a hassle to keep crushing people and maintaining order :D.

Anywaaaaaaaays, the only thing I have heard of people using is Swiss Bank accounts. Apparently they offer among the highest degrees of privacy. But I have heard rumors that if someone else asks about your account, the Swiss bank will keep your privacy and won't release anything. So it has been said that it is good for black hat money making and so on. But I've never been well into offshore banking so it will take some research.
