I am looking over the FAQ in "associated content" and from what I can tell there is only an option to make money by the amount of page views you generate from your article? Here is a link

Can someone either tell me I am looking in the wrong spot or not understanding the "rules" for getting paid. The thing that makes me think this is the portion of the FAQ here. "The amount of money you make at Associated Content is unlimited. All of the content you publish can earn you money via Performance Payments, which currently pays you a baseline PPMâ„¢ rate of $1.50 for every thousand page views your content receives. As you generate more page views and submit more content, your clout level rises - and your Performance Payments do too! (Learn more on the Performance Payments page.) Some Content Producers earn hundreds of dollars per month in Performance Payments alone. In addition, sometimes we might make an Upfront Payment offer for your text content (offers range from $3 - 20)."
"We might" in the last sentence is what I am confused about... Can someone please confirm if they have gotten paid by both the "flat fee method" and the "performance" method?" Do you get to choose which route you would like to go?
Thanks for the input. Levi
