If you've ever written for Associated Content before, you know that attracting many page views is the key to making money. The more people who look at your articles, the more you'll earn from your Associated Content work. Also, if the editors at Associated Content see that you're creating articles that draw a lot of traffic, then your upfront payment offers will increase dramatically. Follow these steps to write articles that will draw a large readership.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Write timely articles about upcoming events and holidays. The most popular articles at Associated Content cover holidays, giveaways and other time-sensitive material.

  2. Step 2

    Write quality SEO articles. The Associated Content articles that get the most page views contain a keyword density of between 3 to 5 percent. To boost the popularity of your Associated Content articles, adhere to good SEO article technique (see Resources below).

  3. Step 3

    Write about what you know. Don't try to fool the editors at Associated Content or the readers. Always write about things you are genuinely passionate about and your Associated Content articles will stand a much better chance of being popular.

  4. Step 4

    Don't try to mass produce your Associated Content articles. Instead, take your time with each article and make sure that you give it the best chance of becoming popular and getting lots of page views.

Tips & Warnings
  • Associated Content articles that cover holidays will be extremely popular once a year and have a long shelf life, so they're a particularly good thing about which to write.
  • Don't try to "game" the system when you write your articles at Associated Content. No matter how popular this makes your articles, if Associated Content catches you doing it, they'll ban you.
