Buying unique content from the catalog

There are two main ways that you can buy articles from Constant Content:

This article will help you with buying pre-written content:

Our article catalog contains tens of thousands of expert, screened, and edited articles that you can buy and download instantly.

We prevent search engines from indexing our catalog articles, so you know if you’re buying a “Full rights” license, that your content is guaranteed to be unique.

As a verified customer, you can preview, purchase, instantly download and use any of the high-quality articles that our writers have uploaded. The catalog is a perfect resource if you’re short on time or want some inspiration for new material.

Finding the perfect pre-written content

Constant Content has a powerful search feature that makes it easy to find the right articles. You’ll find the search box at the top of every page.

  • Browse through the results

For each article in your search results, you’ll see the following:

  1. The title of the article
  2. A brief summary of what the article contains
  3. The number of words in the article
  4. The number of times the article has already been downloaded

  6. The writer’s name (click this to view their profile and other content they’ve written)
  7. Licensing and pricing options <link to license types>

Scrolling to the bottom of the page will let you browse through all the categories in the catalog.

 

Using the advanced search

  1. Category – Display only search results in a specific category
  2. License – Search only particular license types

You can use as many of these filters as you need to find the perfect article.

 

Browsing by category

If you’d prefer, you can browse by category, rather than searching by keyword. Just click “Buy content” in the top navigation bar.

You’ll be taken to a page where you can search or click on any of the top-level categories. When you click on a top-level category, you can explore any of our dozens of subcategories.
