I occasionally talk about how much I like a Paid to Write program called Triond, which pays US writers monthly royalties for minimum earnings as low as fifty cents. Once I decided that if I were to submit an article once a month every month for 5 years, I'd end up with enough articles to buy a pretty nice lunch.
Once an online search came up with an article criticizing Triond and it contained some wrong information. That is how I learned about Associated Content. I signed up to write an article praising Triond and rebutting some wrong information that had been published there. Several people agreed with me so I decided maybe Associated Content wasn't such a bad place after. Recently they have made some improvements to their site that make it easier to use, so I try to write something over there from time to time as well. Like Triond they have a very low (if any) automatic minimum. I like programs that pay the residuals automatically. Associated Content pays a bit more for page views than Triond. Neither program will make you rich without any effort, but I enjoy being part of the online writing community. Here is my latest, a response to the fact that a recent post on this blog got a couple of spam comments:
Triond was a bit easier to learn how to use at the beginning, but their rules are a little tougher. I don't mind rules. People who use PTW programs do need to read and follow the rules, though.
I am still a big AC fan though I haven't had much time to write anything new there lately. I've learned the secret to making money there is to write articles that get search traffic...I'm making a nice little chunk of change there each month, without doing anything at all :)

I found this article through myLot. I am a member there as well as on Triond. I tried to sign up with Associated Content but they do not allow Canadians into their program, only US residents. I enjoy the discussions and comments that you have made at myLot and I am going to check out your Triond stuff as well. Maybe you could do the same for me.

I should have mentioned myLot here as well. I've bought some neat stuff with myLot earnings too even though they are not residual :-)

If you want to buy real estate, you would have to get the loan. Furthermore, my brother all the time uses a sba loan, which supposes to be the most rapid.
