How I lost $220 in 11hrs with Associated Content

[Boosey12]

I just thought i'd share my "MONEY MAKING VENTURE" with some others, which actually ended up costing me about $220 ....

I went to AC, signed up for an account (8 mins)
Downloaded Dragon Naturally Speaking (9 hrs)
Did voice recognition warm-ups (1hr 15mins)
Found 6 articles in E-zine articles (15 mins)
Rewrote those articles with DNS (20 mins)
Posted those articles to AC (10 mins)
waited 6 days... got my first offer ($1)
waited 1 more day, and got offered a total of $12.81 for all 6...
thought to myself "fuck"
started drinking
passed out
woke up next day- started drinking again
started posting on BHW, and ran out of Coors
drove up to Meijer, got pulled over for cracked taillight
went to jail
stayed in jail for 3 hrs
wife bailed me out ($220)
waiting on court date....

This is why I no longer use AC... i'm sure NOBODY else in the world will EVER have this problem, hopefully....but i just thought i'd share my "strategy" with everyone else!!!.

message of this story- Don't drink Coors
so seriously guys, if you wanna donate $1 to my gaypal you can, if not don't worry about it!!...lol,

They must have really sucked (and AC must have been desperate) if they offered you $1.

Back when I was doing AC I was getting at least $7 for a 400 word article and averaged $12.

/shouldn't this be in STS?

it was my post...lol
I just thought it'd be a good 1st post...

subigo, that's crazy...but now that people are doing Voice recognition, they're not offering shit.......

I definitely moved on!

Gonna cost you a lot more than $220. Sorry for you luck, good story though.

I know some people that do the voice recognition to re-write articles, but they do go through and edit them. I've you got offers on something you didn't even edit that's impressive (or like I said AC is desperate) lol.

lol yep, a $2 per article average does suck... but you can't expect to make big money doing article rewrites for AC...

of course, even at that rate, if you're doing 10 rewrites a day per account on several accounts you can make back your bail money pretty quick...
