Earlier, I wrote an entry about another site that pays you to write, Constant Content. Though I have been a member for a long time, I had never really taken the time to get to know the site, or how it works. But that changed, and so far I’ve submitted a handful of articles.
I started off slowly, only submitting three articles. Two were for a specific content request and one was a general piece available to anyone. Wouldn’t you know, after only one full day online, two of my pieces sold. And let me say, it took me a lot less work than Demand Studios and I got a lot more of the cash! Each one sold for $35 outright, with the user purchasing them for full rights.
I can wholeheartedly endorse the process, now that I’ve been through it a few times. So, if you’re an article writer who likes to earn what you are worth, set your own prices, and decide what you’d like to write about, this site is for you.
Constant Contact’s reputation as being a stickler for grammar, spelling, and style holds true. I made a couple of minor errors (that I should have caught, but didn’t) and two of my pieces were rejected at first. But I fixed them and resubmitted them without issue. I consider myself to be above-average in the grammar department (I rank about a 4.6 at Demand) so I don’t find this being a problem. But people who aren’t comfortable with their grammar may find CC to be a challenge.
That said, I’ve seen plenty of encouraging posts from people in the forums who learned a lot about how to be better writers and proofreaders. I would recommend this site to anyone, especially those looking to make real income from their online writing.
Thanks, Kerrick! I use both, so I must have gotten a little mixed up.
I usually write around 500 words. Sometimes a little more if the topic is more technical!
Your second mention of Constant Content calls them Constant Contact, which is a bulk email service. Do you mind me asking how long your articles were?
