Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone & Writing an Article for Associated Content

Sometimes I will take a step out of my personal comfort zone and see what happens.  I know that there are some areas of my life that need some changes.  My weight, my health, my mental and emotional well-being, to name a few things.  LOL

So I went over to Associated Content.  If you haven't heard of it, it's a site where you write articles and you can either submit what you've written for upfront payment IF AC accepts it or you do as I have done and just submit your work for nothing but then you get payment for page views to your stuff.  So far, in one and a half years, I have made one dollar and fifty cents for page views.  Not much I know but I've been far to chicken to submit articles for upfront payment because the few times that I tried that, AC refused them.

I saw that AC had some calls for content and I decided to claim one.  It's for RV Camping in Upstate New York.  I know a lot about RV camping though I know nothing of Upstate New York but I thought that I could find RV campgrounds on the internet.  So I did it.  I almost didn't.  I came very close to just collapsing in fear and quitting before I started but I didn't.  I wrote the article and submitted it to AC within the required time. 

So today I get the message from AC that my article has been published!  I'm so excited because I feel like maybe I really CAN do this!  Plus it means I get a whole $4.50!  LOL  I know it's not much but it's a beginning, right?  :-)  AC also pays for page views to your published articles, it's $1.50 for each 1,000 page views.

If you get a chance, check out my article on AC:

I'm hoping this is the beginning for me though I have to tell you, I am not quite ready to claim another call for content from AC right now!
