Re: Rewriting your own work

I would steer clear from that. There are many repeat buyers here and if they find that they've bought an article thinking that what they're getting is unique, only to find that the same thing in different words is being sold, they'll start leaving this site.

Re: Formatting Problems

The default paragraph and line settings in .doc is higher than the single spacing required here. Go to Paragraph and under spacing, make sure both before and after fields are set to 0. Then under line spacing, the default value next to "Multiple" is 1.5. Set that to 1. This is what works f...

Re: Plagiarism alert

Here is another site that has lots of content from CC.coocoomamapapa.com
This one has some articles that are only on sale for usage rights, but he hasn't given credit to the author. The others are copied from full rights articles.

Plagiarism alert

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what I just found. A few weeks ago a public request was posted by someone who had not bought any content from here before. The request was very generic, was for a bunch of articles and the duration of the request is pretty long. That request...

Re: Any way to message your buyers?

Hi Ryan, Congrats on your sales! You'll find the customer names under "My Sales" in the My Account area on the left hand side. However, I'm pretty sure that you can't message any of them unless they have a live request listed. Customers can contact you and you can reply to them, but you ca...

There is a space at the bottom of the resubmit form for notes to the editor.

Re: Number Of Views Before Purchase

Also, the views won't be just from clients. Other writers can also view articles, sometimes just to get an idea of what's out there. I agree, views don't matter that much. I recently sold an article that I wrote 6 months ago and had very few views since that time. Someone just came by out of the blu...

Re: What might be the reason for rejecting this article?

Oh, this site pays, alright! The reason for higher prices here than anywhere else is because buyers know they're getting quality, error-free articles, so you do have to be very careful there. In addition to those pointed out by Lisa-Ann, there are a few more, like choice of words (eg. "Most inv...

Re: I goofed up when re-submitting an article

To re-submit, you should leave the old document as is. Don't download and re-upload, but attach a new document and then re-submit. Although it is not required, it is helpful to rename each new document before uploading, eg. "Document 2.doc", "Document 3.doc". That's just so there...

Re: Resubmitted article

As long as you submitted or resubmitted to a request before it was closed it will get to the client. Also, the client is alerted that there is a new submission that is waiting to be reviewed. Of course, there is always the possibility that he/she doesn't want to wait too long and will just buy one o...

Re: More stolen content

Thanks for posting the link UKWriter101. I too am frustrated with having to deal with article theft. I went to this site just now and found at least one of mu articles there. It looks like most of the text is identical, but a few words here and there have been changed. Strangely, I couldn't get any ...

Re: My article has been stolen

You're right - there's no foolproof way to prevent article theft, but I think many wouldn't want to make the effort to fill in the blanks, so if the no. of thefts are reduced, it's worth a shot for me.

I'm pretty sure it is chef's knife, as it's the most common form I've seen. I may be wrong, though.

Re: My article has been stolen

I caught the ezine article copy a bit too late and found several more copies all over the internet. I decided to just abandon the hunt after Ezine took it down, since I really don't want to spend too much time contacting ISPs and filing DMCAs. I'm going to try including about half of my articles in ...

Re: Formatting: Are Subheaders Allowed

Yes, you can add sub headers, lists and bullets, as long as you also have content below each point to explain each point.
