Why Associated Content won't pay for memoirs

Memoirs are not usually accepted for upfront pay with Associated Content. Memoirs are when you write about your life biography style. There are always exceptions to every rule. One of them is if you are britney spears. In that case, Associated Content would be happy to make an upfront payment for your memoirs. But most of us will not draw in page views like britney spears. Another exception is if you turn your memoirs into something that may help the reader. For example if you write a memoir about how you went to the grocery store. Readers are not going to care and it will not pull in page views. If you write about how you can save money at the grocery store then Associated Content would probably pay for that. Especially if you mention seeing britney spears there as well. Another problem with memoirs are that they are not keyword rich. Write about your life one specific subject at a time for SEO. Use your life experiences to help others. That way you can turn your memoirs into something that would be accepted by Associated Content.

Associated Content

Associated Content is paying about $3 to $6 upfront for every article that is accepted. Each article should be between 400 to 500 words. You will also get paid for page views whether it is submitted for upfront payment or for free. Once you learn what they will pay for, you should have no problem in getting most every article accepted. It helps to understand how Associated Content makes money. Most of their income is derived from Google adsense. Therefore, your articles should have keywords that bring up Google ads. In addition, you should use proper SEO and Latent Semantic Indexing to help bring in traffic. Associated Content likes articles that explain how to do something, product reviews and more.

How Ebay Blogs Can Help You to Advertise Your Auctions

Ebay Blogs is one of the newest features Ebay has to offer. This is great news for sellers on Ebay. You can easily create your own blog to advertise all of your auctions. Ebay Blogs has constant traffic from other Ebay members. You can create a post and within seconds you will see comments from other Ebayers. More attention to your auctions equals more bids.

If you list auctions on a regular basis, you must start an Ebay blog. Last week, I beefed up my blog. Then I made a few comments on other Ebay Blogs after listing a bunch of auctions. The results were remarkable. Every auction I listed sold, and my sales were higher than normal. There is no tracking system in place to verify these bids came from the Ebay blogs. But I believe blogging does help Ebay sales. The blogs are also bringing in additional customers via search engine traffic.

The postings you may find in Ebay blogs are varied. You may write some humorous article that has nothing to do with Ebay at all. This seems to get a lot of attention and comments on my blog. Many people write about the products they are selling. The other day I read a post from a seller that was explaining his wife just left him. He said the only thing that might cheer him up would be bids on his auctions. It is OK to be a little crazy on your Ebay blog.

To start a blog, go to the Ebay community section. Then click on Ebay blogs and start your own blog. In the customize section you can choose what type of blog template you want. To add an avatar, click on view my world and edit image. You have option of changing template or avatar at any time. The add content feature in the view my world section is a useful tool in creating your Ebay blog. This allows you to show all your Ebay listings, biography, guestbook and Ebay neighborhoods. An Ebay neighborhood is a subject of interest that you share with other Ebay bloggers. This might be anything from people that love coffee to animal lovers. You can also embed Youtube, Google video and Ebay To Go on your blog.

If you want to make more money on Ebay, I would definitely recommend creating a blog. Just be careful, Ebay blogs can be addicting. It is easy to spend an evening reading and responding to the constant posting on the blogs.

Veterans Day

I am thinking about our soldiers so far away from home today. They are in a place that I would never want to be. I want them all to come home safely. I found this anonymous poem on the internet and wanted to share this.

It is the VETERAN, not the preacher,who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN, not the reporter,who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN, not the poet,who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer,who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer,who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN, not the politician,who has given us the right to vote.
It is the VETERAN who has actively served under the Flag, and has preserved and protected our Flag and Who is buried under that Flag that has given us our Freedom - at, in many cases, the ultimate cost!

We love and miss you guys and hope you get to come back home soon!!!
