I have had two different online accounts with two online companies that both shut down without much notice and all of my articles, my staying up until the crack of dawn articles, were gone and I wasn’t going to be getting them back. Let’s take a look at these two online sites and how they met their demise shall we? First there was Associated Content Associated Content was where I actually got my big break in online freelance writing. It is also where I met some of my coolest writing buddies, where I had my first rejection, and where I earned my first dollar from online writing. I loved Associated Content . I actually won the 2007 People’s Media Award for Best of AC content back when there wasn’t so many would-be writers. I began writing with them when they were first growing...
