ConstantContent matches sites looking for content with freelance writers...:)

4 Aug 2011

This is interesting...obviously, the internet has created a huge demand for written stuff...since everything on the net is written by someone, one would think... happy8

Here is an excerpt from the latest Writing World newsletter that I pulled this link from...

" I have sold content to Constant-Content and they do offer higher paying requests.

"I make sure that I don't do any that are less than $50 per
article. They do often have articles that go up to $200 and every
once in a while you will see one for $500. I figure if it doesn't
pay at least $50, it's not worth my time.

"You can also list your own articles on the site and put your own
prices on the articles - this way you are in control of what you
charge and since they are able to see a sampling of your writing,
it will speak for itself. The buyer will get what they pay for.
What I have been told regarding all those who are willing to work
for less - many are from other countries and aren't used to getting
the pay we get here - so they are happy with the small amount they
are making."

OK, so you can make money writing for sites on the internet...this site should give you an idea how to get there... icon_smile

Check out this site as well...

Demand Media...
http://www.demandmedia.com/

Oooops...btw, from the same article in Writing World...here is what someone had to say about the above link...

"Cheap is rarely good. Publishers that pay cheap rates will get
cheap content. It will not be well researched nor will it be well
written in most cases. Content farms like Demand Media may be
attractive to some because of their 'exposure' but as a writing
colleague and friend of mine says, 'You can die from exposure.'

"I tell my writing students to have more respect for themselves as
writers than to write for these types of publishers. I tell them
that it is better to write for free for a publication that you
really like or an organization that you support than to write for
an organization like Demand Media that would suck the life out of
you and leave you with no energy to do any other type of writing."

Al McCartan also disapproves of such content farms. He wrote:
"In order to make a 'quid' in writing, I went down this road and
found it wanting."

OK, so it's not all a bed of roses...but, it is something to consider if you want to make a few bucks writing...and of course, there is a downside to everything, and whenever you write for someone else you have to expect to make some compromises "artistically"... happy8
