For book/ebook authors, publishers, & self-publishers
It's an Honor to Be Nominated
I have a huge favor to ask of all my friends here who read me, so stick with me for a bit.
Associated Content is a site that most of you know I write for. I've been with them for about a year 1/2, and though there's those who wonder why I write for them (and I've wondered myself sometimes), there's something about the site that keeps me coming back.
Until the last two weeks, I wondered what it was that brought me back there over and over again. Is it because I've earned 2k from the site this year? Nope. I can make that much money much faster and for less writing. Is it the prestige? Nope. In fact, there are those who really put down people who write for sites like this one.
So why do I stay with AC?
The people.
It's really that simple. I stay because of the people.
I have helped new writers get a foot and sometimes even a leg in the door with other print mags, publishers, etc. I have snagged a few editing jobs from the site. I've met some fantastic aspiring and inspiring writers, and made money on top of it. You can't beat that.
Well, this week and last, the people of AC have really warmed my heart, and I will tell you why and then I want to give back a little something to them if I can. You see, AC is hosting it's second annual People's Media Awards (PMA), and they are accepting nominations from the content producers on the site for the prizes - the Top AC CP wins $2000 and then there are top content prizes for $1000 each.
When the nominations were opened, there were several people who came in and nominated me or a piece of my writing for these awards. I don't believe I stand a chance, but I am deeply touched and honored by the nominations.
Since some of you don't know how AC works, I'll tell you - they offer a small upfront payment (averaing about 5-10 bucks for most people) per articles, as well as $1.50 per 1000 page views on your content. So, in an effort to give something back to the people who nominated me, I would like to include here on my blog a link to each of their profiles on AC - and I'm asking all my friends on Myspace who read me to please, if you can find the time, go give some of these people a few pages views on articles you find on their profile that pique your interest.
These people have made me feel fantastic, it truly IS an honor to be nominated, especially by my peers and colleagues, and I just want to do some little somthing to give back for their kind and humbling nominations for me.
In order of their nominations (not playing favorites here - I love them all!):
Whew! Do you know how awesomely humbling this was for me? I am so honored.
I hope I didn't miss anyone, and if I did, I'll link to them in a later blog post - I want to make sure the links get tracked back to their pages when indexed, give them a boost, and hopefully some of you guys will go and visit them and give them a little love for me, since they were so very kind to nominate either me or one of my articles.
I am hoping I'm in the top 1000 honorable mentions. Don't get me wrong; I sure wouldn't refuse winning one of the top awards by any means, but with such wonderful colleagues also being nominated, I probably don't stand a chance -but I do want to be on that top 1000 list - I'll feel I did something right if I make it!
Anyway, if any of you guys get bored over the holidays, give some of these CPs pages a read by clicking the links above and see if you can find something they wrote you might like.
Love and stuff,
Michy
