Help Haiti

Please, come view my article about ways to Help Haiti. Just by viewing my article, you are helping! http://2tu.us/1f74

Associated Content will match all the performance payments that I make on the article (I get $2 for every $1,000, so spread the word so AC donates A LOT of money!)

Then, even search the site for "Haiti" to find other articles to give them views and help Haiti as well!

Please help!

Thanks so much,
Bridget

I'm so glad I write for AC!

Let's see. I'm just doing this for fun. I get paid $2 for every 1,000 page views. I get paid about $3 per article (though some don't get payment and some get a lot less like only $1.)

I need around a total of $10,000 to completely pay my bills.

This would mean that I would need to make $10,000 in one month to pay my bills in one month. That would then mean that I would need my articles to get *trying to figure this out*

1,000 PV gets me $2.
10,000 PV gets me $20
100,000 PV would get me $200
1,000,000 PV would get me $2,000
10,000,000 PV would get me $20,0000

I've only gotten around $100 and that's just been around the winter months because of having articles relating to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. So, I need, um, all the world that has an Internet connection to read my articles?

You can help me by reading my articles at http://www.associatedcontent.com/u…

If you want to get notified of when I published an article click on the "Follow" button that's near my picture on the front page.

If I actually made $3 per every article written, then I'd need to write 9,999 articles. Some would probably be a few cents more than $3. That would take FOREVER. I'd have to write *figures this out* 333.33333, so, 334 articles in one month for upfront payment. That means that I'd have to write over 100 articles a day! That's crazy!

I think the page view thing is MORE likely, so yeah, I think I need people to give me page views while I still write.

So, once again, my articles are at http://www.associatedcontent.com/u…



Also, just a side note. I submitted two things to Review Stream.

The first thing they sent me was a simple rejection, which was no problem. It just said

Please feel free to post more reviews and earn more cash. Don't forget to recommend ReviewStream.com to your friends. ReviewStream.com team appreciates your cooperation.


This was on a review at first of a website. The other review that I wrote was for Old Navy and it was not all that positive. They said they wanted your experiences, so I gave them my experiences. The reviews were my exact experiences.

The second thing they sent me said,

Please be informed, that we're not interested in cooperation with you. All of your submissions will be rejected.


I'm so very glad things with AC ended up fine because I'd have a huge problem trying to get freelancing with other sites when a site that is supposed to allow ANYBODY to write sends me a message like that! How did they determine they didn't want any of my reviews from just TWO submitted???

Eh, so glad I'm on AC!

All's well!

All seems to be well now! AC restored my account!

If you're wondering:

I was using another site just for the outlines so I didn't forget what I wanted to write. I was writing general how to articles - all stuff that I've done, helped people do, or had people try to teach me to do. I guess using the outlines made them too close to the original site for AC, though. I don't know.

If AC would've just given me that information in the first place, I would've deleted the articles. However, instead, AC gave me upfront offers first. They only gave me the information that the articles were too close to something already online after I had accepted the upfront payment offer. They then "declined the articles for payment" retroactively.

Yes, the articles were already publish by AC, not by myself for performance payment only, but by AC for an upfront payment.

The next day, I tried to log into my account and they had banned me from AC.

I wrote to them and waited and waited and waited and didn't get an answer. I was letting people know what happened.

By the next day, AC finally responded apologizing that they did not give me a clear reason my account was banned and I was able to delete the two articles that they denied retroactively and one that I should've guessed was too close to probably any sites online because there are not many differences in an article about how to wash your hair - there are only so many ways to say a quarter size dollop of shampoo, use hot water, use cold water, etc.

Anyway, things are good now, though. I still love AC and it is my favorite freelancing site!

Now, I'd like them to get back to others who never purposely "plagiarize" or for other reasons. Hopefully one of these days, all that will be worked out and they'll not have this happening. It would be great to see AC as being really and truly the best freelancing site for everybody. I'm sure they'd love that. I'd love to be able to say it as well.

Bukisa

Right now, AC has suspended my account.

They claimed that I did nto quote my sources and that what I wrote was found other places online.

However, they did this retroactively. The content was accepted and published. Then they took it down and said it was denied for upfront payment.

I went to bed last night, not thinking about, thinking I could delete the articles this morning and read over the TOS again.

Instead, when I tried to log into my account, I found that I was suspended from AC!

This is very distressing because AC was my source of income.

I know these were published on AC, but there were non-exclusive articles.

Could you please visit my Bukisa articles so that I make some money this month?

Thanks so much,

(Yes, I have e-mailed Associated Content and so far, they have not contacted me at all! I try to read the TOS weekly, so something must have changed IN THE PAST WEEK for them to do this to me.)

I need help from AC contributors!

I really need your help!

AC suspended my account.

You see, I had rewritten some information from howcast - something I had done plenty of times without any warning, so figured it was fine because it was in my own words (I just used howcast as a guideline) and then I always quoted howcast as a source and put the URL in the referenced URL boxes, too. (I have a journalism degree, so I know what plagiarism is and what they are claiming I'm doing is not anything wrong at all.)

However, now they took my ALREADY PUBLISHED articles, and said that I had violated their terms and conditions - after the articles were ACCEPTED for payment!

So, this suspension was done RETROACTIVELY!!!

There was only one that was written BEFORE they even gave me the "your content has been declined" on the other articles.

Now, they don't want to pay me anything, either! I had over $80 performance payments, and they won't pay me my money because they decided to suspend my account! Now I can't do anything! I can't log into my accoutn and the AC workers will not reply to my e-mails and requests!

I need people to contact AC on my behalf so I can get my account restored!
