The requirements are strict - no grammar, spelling or punctuation errors. You also need to use a standard file format and font. Beyond that the site is a real pleasure to deal with.JadeDragon@innovativepassiveincomehttp://innovativepassiveincome.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597252480683523333.post-57943178172626158382010-04-09T07:51:11.365-07:002010-04-09T07:51:11.365-07:00Hi, Stevefon2004. First - good for you for figuri...Hi, Stevefon2004. First - good for you for figuring out the requested article system! It can be confusing.<br /><br />Requested articles are a great way to start out before you know what people are buying. It's a gamble, but in a sense it's a good gamble because it's educational. <br /><br />Once you get some experience, you might want to move onto doing your own titles exclusively. When I submit there again, it will be with my own titles. That's because my own titles seem more profitable based on my prior sales records. <br /><br />I've had a few requested articles purchased and one not bought. The ignored one I revised, took off of Constant-Content, and put up on HubPages. It, too, was ultra specific. <br /><br />When you're doing requested titles, there's a fine balance between picking titles most of your competing writers won't bother with (and so decreasing your competition) and picking titles that have money-making potential if they're not bought. <br /><br />I understand the requested article you wrote was highly specific. However, if it doesn't sell, what about posting it elsewhere for revenue sharing? It might actually do quite well because it IS specific. <br /><br />I once wrote an assignment for Textbroker that was also super-specific. It sold, but I didn't want my research to go to waste. I changed the slant a couple of times and posted two more versions up on a couple of other sites. On one of those, it's earned a decent amount - at least as much as I made with the original sale.<br /><br />I should also mention Seed.com, which is run by AOL, is another site that has a similar, but far more primitive, business model. You and other writers submit the same assignment to editorial, then wait (and wait) for Seed.com to pick out the one or ones, plural, they'll buy. If your article is accepted, you MAY get paid the full amount or, if it's chosen for revenue sharing only, it will automatically go into that pool. (You can't say "thanks but no thanks" like you can with AC.) You can ONLY keep full rights to it if it's rejected outright. Their better overall pay lures writers to accept this offer. They're very new, so whether or not this works out equitably in the end is still up in the air. I submitted one article there, it got rejected, and I posted it on HubPages. It's not made very much money, but I'll definitely do the same thing again if I ever submit to and get rejected by Seed again.Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671634833405814020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597252480683523333.post-61820181282363064372010-04-08T10:52:58.897-07:002010-04-08T10:52:58.897-07:00Is it better to just submit an article to Constant...Is it better to just submit an article to Constant Content or to choose one from their request list? I chose one last week and the requestor asked for a 1500 word article on a specific subject which I had to research. It also had a requirement to pitch a specific product. If the requestor doesn't buy it I wasted my time. Probably a bad choice by me but I'm still learning.<br /><br />Stevefon2004Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597252480683523333.post-82545023570724919012010-04-06T11:09:53.581-07:002010-04-06T11:09:53.581-07:00I've been writing for a couple years for Const...I've been writing for a couple years for Constant Content and have found it to be a really great site. While not all my articles sell right away, they do tend to sell over time. In fact, I haven't really submitted anything in six months (about to change that!) and I still get monthly payments of $50-100 . . . not too shabby for something I don't pay attention to. :DGenesishttp://freelance-writing.athomemomblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597252480683523333.post-92068437861196618792010-03-31T10:25:52.825-07:002010-03-31T10:25:52.825-07:00Hi Stevefon2004,

Can you share more about your writing ambitions? Better yet, I saw that you posted to my article, "HubPages and eHow." How about we continue over there to streamline the conversation? :)Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671634833405814020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597252480683523333.post-34460097425758665892010-03-31T08:36:50.707-07:002010-03-31T08:36:50.707-07:00Hey Nerd Writer Mom,

How often do you submit anything? Is there a better way to make money on the internet by writing? Sorry for so many questions but I have been writing for a long time and always get published but it is usually in commentary sections of Newspapers that pay nothing.<br /><br />Stevefon2004Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597252480683523333.post-50788195377772765672009-11-27T06:17:58.773-08:002009-11-27T06:17:58.773-08:00HayleyWriter,

If writers want to succeed at Constant-Content, the best advice in my mind is to study the submission guidelines thoroughly, brush up on grammar and punctuation if they're not up to speed, and look at the articles some of the top writers produce on the site to get a sense of the house style. Participating in forums is not necessary for earnings, though the support can be helpful. Not to slam e-books, but I've learned far more about writing online through trial and error than through anything a paid eBook has taught me.Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671634833405814020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2597252480683523333.post-67741792912260481272009-11-26T16:15:18.389-08:002009-11-26T16:15:18.389-08:00Hi Nerd Writer Mom,
Great article - and congratul...Hi Nerd Writer Mom,<br /><br />Great article - and congratulations on that sale!<br /><br />I've been writing for Constant Content successfully for over a year, and I have made over $6000 USD. That's the figure for only writing part-time there - while I work at a full time job too. I submit regularly, and make sales most weeks. My mother has also started writing there and has made over $1000 in a few months. <br /><br />I know why most people think Constant Content is a scam - they don't follow the submission guidelines or know how the website works. It is definitely NOT a scam, but it takes some time to get established there. It is a great site for making that unexpected bonus income and for selling articles for more than you can get anywhere else. I've had a few of those $100 plus sales myself, but most of my artcles sell for $50 to $80 (which still nets me $32.50 plus in my pocket for a 500 to 700 word article).<br /><br />This is an ideal site for mothers who need to write sporadically, in between taking care of the children, because you can submit articles at any time you like. Sales can also come anytime, so it can make a nice "treat" fund for your family. <br /><br />I've actually put together an ebook to help new authors succeed on Constant Content called "Sales Success on Constant Content". I am so sure that anyone who can write can succeed on Constant Content that I offer a 3 x money back guarantee and the book is only $10. You can make that money back on your first article sale and the ebook will show you how to get the articles approved and how to meet the submission guidelines. The book also explains how to make the most of friendly forums and be part of the writing community on Constant Content. It will help anyone who wants to start with Constant Content. <br /><br />Constant Content is a wonderful site for authors. I make so much money there, I just about write for Constant Content exclusively these days. I strongly suggest you give it a go!<br /><br />HayleyWriter.HayleyWriterhttp://www.expandingcreations.comnoreply@blogger.com
