How much does AssociatedContent.com pay writers? Here’s my income earned, articles, and how to figure out your estimated monthly pay

I was on AssociatedContent.com looking for the estimated pay — but I couldn’t find it. Think they may have done away with that for the redesign, but I still wanted a head’s up on how much to expect from them coming into PayPal so I just went to the content tab and copied down all the below info from both pages of articles and pasted it into an Excel spreadsheet.

Next I sorted the info in Excel by values — and could tell that the numbers with dollars signs next to them were the estimated pay — and any other numbers were probably goobly guck so I deleted those. That way I came up with what I hope is correct: I should get around 160 bucks this month from all my Associated Content pieces below.

And doing that little exercise taught me that the Beyonce Master Cleanser article is bringing in the bulk of that! That piece always gets more popular around springtime.
