There is no fixed payment for each review, instead they follow income sharing concept wherein you get paid based on page view (how popular your review is). You are always welcome to make changes or delete your posting.

• How shvoong pays

The source of Shvoong’s profits is advertising. The site managers distribute 10% of the profits to the abstract-writers on whose abstract pages advertisement links were clicked on by random surfers. In addition, anyone translating an abstract to another language will receive 5%, according to the same principle. The advertisements appear in the margins of every page. The advertisers pay varying sums, ranging from several cents to several dollars, for each entry to the advertisement link by random surfers. At the end of each month, the computer totals the income and transfers the money.

On the 1st day of every month, provided the abstract-writer accumulated more than $10. Payment is usually made by the PayPal system (opening an account is free). In countries where PayPal is not available (and only in those countries), the writers receive payment by check mailed to a chosen address.

Abstract from the website

“Associated Content (AC) is the People’s Media Company that allows users to publish their unique and compelling articles, images, audio clips and videos on any topic to gain exposure and earn cash. Your content is included in the AC library, displayed on your profile page, and may even be distributed to partner sites. AC attracts millions of information seekers each month, and they can discover your content, too! AC offers upfront payments for some content submissions as well as a monthly Performance Bonus payment for all of your original content.”

After submission of article, it may take around 2 weeks of time to get approval. If approved you will receive an email with the offer and you keep the right either to accept or reject the offer. You get paid anything between $4 – $20 upfront payment for an article (depends on topic, keywords used etc.). Apart from upfront payment, you also receive performance bonus based on the number of page views. As of now, their pay rate is $1.5 for every thousand page views (Monthly page views are an aggregate of all your content – the more you publish the more you can earn! Also Payment per thousand page views (PPM) is subject to change.). Even if your article does not get approval for upfront payment, you still remain eligible to receive performance bonus.

Initially you may think of getting payment based on page view very less but you will be surprised to see how your page views rack up. This is because Associated content always comes in a decent postion on Google or any other search engine. So you just need to focus on keyword used and keyword popularity.Not to mentioned the article should be of high quality, unique and search-oriented content

What I liked most about Associated content is that you dont have any number limitation with respect to submission of article. You can write as many topics and you can submit unlimited number of articles everyday. The only limitation is your ability to think of the topic to write.

They also run ‘calls for content’ wherein they provide list of content they are currently looking for. If you want to produce one of these calls, claim it!Click on the subject to get started, or search to find additional opportunities. Your pay rate will be higher if you could write in these topics.

Overall a must site to join, if you desire to make money online.
