I, Zachary Fruhling am officially a "Top 1000" content producer on Associated Content (see Zachary Fruhling's Content Producer Page). Woo hoo! While I am unsure of the exact criterion used to determine the Top 1000 content producers, I have a hunch that it is either total number of articles submitted or total page views. I have recently become re-excited about Associated Content as a means to passive income, seeing as how my residual performance payment income is out-pacing my investment dividends.By no means have I given up on long-term investing as a means to financial security, but I have reaffirmed my commitment to produce content for Associated Content on a regular basis to supplement and grow my passive income.
For those who are unfamiliar with Associated Content, AC is a company that will pay their writers anywhere from $3.00 to $20.00 for short to medium length articles on a variety of topics, including product and restaurant reviews, local news, how-to articles, etc. In addition to an up-front payment, Associated Content also pays residuals based on the total number of continuing page views generated by your content.
Most of the articles I have written for AC are simple product or restaurant reviews, and how-to articles on a number of areas within my expertise. Here is a list of my top ten Associated Content articles, so you can get an idea of the type of articles that AC regularly pays for:
1) How to Whiten Your Teeth Cheaply with Hydrogen Peroxide as a Mouthwash (6063 Page Views)
2) How to Make a Lemon Battery (3505 Page Views)
3) How to Write with a Fountain Pen (3403 Page Views)
4) How to Improve Your Handwriting (3268 Page Views)
5) Lindemans Framboise Raspberry Lambic Beer is a Delicious Alternative to Traditional Beer (3223 Page Views)
6) Top Fin 10 Gallon Goldfish Aquarium Starter Kit (2990 Page Views)

9) Splenda Vs. Sweet'N Low (1777 Page Views)
10) TetraFin Goldfish Flakes: How to Feed Goldfish Properly (1653 Page Views)
As you can see, the topic of each of these articles is narrowly focused but fills a specific niche that someone is likely to be searching for. None of these articles took more than 15 minutes or so to write, but I am receiving money from each of them each month, deposited directly into my Paypal account. If you have not yet given Associated Content a try, and if you write quickly with quality, then Associated Content may be a good way to generate and supplement your passive income.
