Re: Mystery of Disappearing Article

Indeed, I do. Seems it's fine for requests to be long, but otherwise, this is what was said (twice!): "We do not accept content of this length. These are reserved for requests." The second rejection of the resubmission said the article would make a good series 'but only for a request'! So ...

Re: Mystery of Disappearing Article

Hi, Gauderbock. It is pretty much a mystery to me also; I tried to find some indication of the maximum words permissible, but also couldn't locate anything anywhere. I have had articles accepted when they are up to 2300 words with no issues, and quite a few of them. The article in question--the purg...

Re: Mystery of Disappearing Article

Hello, all, and especially Pellucidean... Thank you for posting too; I do appreciate when people help me especially as the forum is not so busy these days, and I only just checked in and saw the message you left. To update, I discovered that the article was indeed purged as it was too long for CC. I...

Re: Mystery of Disappearing Article

Ah, Gauderbock! Thanks for that; I never thought to look there as I had not received anything. I see that on 16th December it was 'deleted' but I still haven't the faintest idea why. It was about security protocols for high net worth individuals, i.e. how to keep safe in the current climate of attac...

Mystery of Disappearing Article

Has anyone experienced the mysterious disappearance of a submitted article for approval? I suddenly realised that a piece I submitted a few weeks ago, that was 'in review', has disappeared, not been rejected, nor accepted...just missing from the articles list. It's my longest article and a good busi...

Re: Quiet times here at Constant Content?

That's brilliant, Gauderbock. Thank you for answering my post!

I also started revising prices of one or two items and then had a cold moment of shock and horror, thinking 'what if this alteration sends the thing back into review'? I'm not even sure if altering the copy does that, but I assume so.

Re: Quiet times here at Constant Content?

I wasn't sure whether to begin a new thread for this, but it does fit into 'quiet times'. I have not used CC for six years and I only have a dozen articles for sale, but two were approved earlier in the week and gained 9 and 5 views on the day after acceptance. Since then, there have been no further...

Re: Poofreading

They leap out at me and I wish they didn't, Lysis! It makes me lose trust in the site. I also saw that I could submit to 'pulbic' rquests ...well, at least the l wasn't missing!!!

And there's a page where 'submited' appears about 30 times. : (

Re: Disappearing Public Pool Requests

Thanks for your explanation, LMasterson, as I had the same query and have just searched through the CC info for writers, which confused me more than ever...there are so many different types of requests outlined (and none described as a 'Public Pool Request' in the CC FAQs) so I was doubly confused. ...

Poofreading

Since I returned to writing for CC after a six-year break, I've noticed the site pages playing host to too many errors to count. A poofreader is defanitly required, ha. On the Request Settings page just now, I lost count of the typos and inconsistencies; the best part was my realisation I am 'eligab...

Re: Quiet times here at Constant Content?

That's great information, Lysis; how many articles do you have in your catalog? Also, thanks for sharing the actual figures as it really helps. I have never uploaded many articles but what's there does sell, which encouraged me to revisit the site and start working here again until I saw the recent...

Re: Quiet times here at Constant Content?

Sales might be better if there was an easy way for clients to search for articles within a specific writer's inventory. For clients who have previously purchased from a CC writer and like that person's writing style, it should be easy to search for a keyword/keyword phrase but limit their search to...

Re: Quiet times here at Constant Content?

I sold $2k-$3k maybe in Feb-March, so I was pretty happy with that as side money. I raised my prices, so that's only about 30-40 sales for me. June was pretty good too. Only $500-$600ish IIRC. Still happy with that amount as side money though because I didn't upload much at that point. July I made ...

Re: Quiet times here at Constant Content?

I am both an author and a client. From the client perspective, I am struggling to navigate the site because it's taking forever to upload any useful pages. That's the main issue I have. I tried browsing the articles from a few authors today and all I am getting is the endless status (progress) circl...
