The old methods are always the good ones. Great post OP
Thanks bunches for bringing this idea back to life gatekept! I have few questions I would like to ask to you or anyone else who cares to answer. No worries if you cannot answer or I am asking too much though gatekept. what you have shared is enough on its own.
I was wondering if anyone can provide a list of other sites like yahoo voice that lets you pick what to write about and pays up front. I saw someone mention iwriter. do they pay up font?
I also was wondering if you would be kind enough gatekept words to give a little advice on getting them accepted. as far as what to write about. i saw you mention more general niches but anything more you could add would be awesome.
and one last thing and then ill shut up hehe, have you tried to publish many articles gatekept? or are you just those 3? Are you allowed to try and republish them once get denied for upfront pay?
Thanks for so much and sorry for all the questions...i just think 2 much and am working on mapping out my attack plan....i know the best way to figure things out is through trial and error but it cant hurt to get some intel up front either hehe.
if i get set up and going i may start a journal thread (if i can get at least a 75% accept rate on my articles and average at least $2.50 per article) im little worried about being flagged if i submit 2 many articles. i dont like the idea of having more than 1 account that could get my in trouble
Is this worth the time
This is an updated response to the thread "The Easiest and Quickest $100 A Day I Know." If you haven't seen this thread before, you can view it here:

Associated Content is now Yahoo! Voices. The new URL is here:

The thread is five years old, yet continues to get a ton of views and comments. I noticed a lot of people commenting on it in the last few months, saying there was no way it could still work - but I know better. And I'm here to tell you that it does still work.
I was bored a few weeks ago and decided to rewrite a few articles and submit them to YV to see how the site worked, these days. I rewrote three different articles from three separate niches to see if one niche paid more than another. I decided not to do any more than that, if the site was a waste of time. All three articles were approved and I was offered upfront payments for each article. So let's debunk some of the comments about this thread in the last year.
Myth 1: Yahoo! Voices Doesn't Accept Articles with This Method Because They Get Marked as Spam
I read a few comments from users saying Yahoo! Voices sent them emails that said they wouldn't approve their articles because they were spam. Guess what? If you try outsourcing to some bottom-feeding, non-native English speaker on oDesk or another freelancing site, you are NOT going to get quality articles for peanuts and Yahoo! Voices damn sure isn't going to accept them. I know that's mind-blowing. You honestly can't outsource this type of work to turn a large profit because YV doesn't pay that much to begin with, so if you aren't planning to do the work yourself, don't bother.
Myth 2: Yahoo! Voices Doesn't Pay More Than $2 Per Article
I was offered over $3 for each of my articles. Not great money, but if you're someone who thinks $10-$15 a day would be helpful, then this method is still viable. If you think you can rewrite 20 articles in a few hours by speaking them, then that's still $60 a day. Here's what I was offered:
Article 1: $3.31
Article 2: $3.11
Article 3: $3.06
I'm sure this number can vary greatly, depending on the niche and quality of writing. If you write a seasonal article, that pays even more. For example: 10 Cheap Halloween Costume Ideas
Supposedly, they pay up to $7 per article. I'd assume that's only for specialty articles, like I just mentioned, or something that is insanely well-written - which I would not expect you to see if you're quickly re-writing with voice software.
Myth 3: Articles Take Two Weeks to Approve
All three articles were approved in one week. That's really not a big deal, just keep writing articles and you'll have new ones approved each week.
So. The method does still work. Voices also pays you residual income for every 1,000 views your article gets, but I wouldn't count on that and only consider the upfront payments when asking yourself if it's worth your time. All three of my articles were published on 09-09-13 and have only received 13 views between all three. I'm sure good niches good generate a good amount of views, though.
What You Need for This Method
- Voice software (just torrent Dragon Naturally Speaking from Pirate Bay or another torrent site)
- Articles to rewrite (go to ArticlesBase or eZine and grab a few from popular niches)
Cons About This Method
- Must be a US Resident
- Payment can only be received through PayPal - you cannot opt for a check or an alternative eWallet like Moneybookers
Hope this helped answer any questions about this thread. I know it's old, but it does still work and might help some noobs. Feel free to ask any questions and I will respond as soon as I can.
Cheers,
Gatekept
