Do Canadians get paid for writing for Associated Content?

Hello.



I've been looking into this Associated Content website to make a little money on the side for tuition and everything. I know it's not a lot of money, but every little bit helps.



I've read on various web pages that to get paid for Associated Content articles, you need to live in America.



Is this true or has it changed? When I checked out the sign up page on Associated Content it allowed me to state I was Canadian. Do you know if I would be paid writing for them as a Canadian. One post on a blog I read sounded like if you weren't american you were doing the writing for free.



Thanks for clearing up my confusion. :)

Below is FAQ from Associated Content.

Who is eligible to be paid?
You must be at least 18 years old to be paid by Associated Content. If you are also citizen or legal resident of the United States, you are eligible for both Upfront and Performance Payments. If you are not a citizen of legal resident of the United States, you are only eligible for Performance Payments due to U.S. tax regulations.

What are Performance Payments?
Performance Payments are payments based on the traffic to your content and allow you to earn unlimited cash from your text, video, slideshow and audio submissions long after they have been published. You earn money for every one thousand page views your content generates (PPM? rate). The baseline PPM? rate is currently $1.50 - meaning if you generate 30,000 page views, you're paid $45.00 in Performance Payments.

What is an Upfront Payment?
An Upfront Payment is a payment for your content offered before it is published.


How and when are payments sent?
We pay our Sources exclusively via PayPal. All you need to receive payments from us is a basic, personal PayPal account, which is free.

Typically, Upfront Payments are sent daily, M-F (except for holidays). If a payment is not sent one day, it will be sent the following day. Performance Payments are sent at the beginning of each month, no later than the second Wednesday, to accounts with at least $1.50 in Performance Payments.
