Fingers crossed this pool stays profitable!

Yay! Congrats to you. Here's hoping it's profitable for you

I find it funnier to be online about two hours before the deadline time is up on all those big requests.... they all suddenly appear as writers flake out and dump them back into the queue. I'm often asleep when those orders are originally issued, so I never get the chance to grab them (Australian ti...

I know this is an older thread, but I'll throw my 2 cents in and respond anyway. I make a large portion of my income from Constant Content, although I do have several private clients outside of here as well. I also write a column directly for a couple of magazines, and I own a string of websites acr...

If it helps, I had 12 different requests waiting in the queue last week, all sitting there at the same time. 4 were for private orders. 6 were for public pool submissions. 2 were submitted because I felt like writing them. The 6 public pool requests were all approved across a span of 12 hours. 2 of ...

It just doesn't seem fair that we have to meet tight deadlines, and then the client can take weeks and weeks to pay. THIS. Sigh. It makes me bang my head against my keyboard several times a month. Please complete work promptly on a really tight deadline. Then we'll take several weeks to think about...

Sigh. So frustrating.

ha ha ha!! Yeah. That client. I currently have 26 articles sitting un-purchased for *that* client that were all completed on the 3-4 day deadline specified - and I was threatened to have my account penalized by two separate CC account managers for being a few hours overdue on some of those in the in...

I have to admit, I grinned a bit when reading your post because it reminds me so much of me! I'm exactly the same as you in this regard. I work my behind off to complete some of those writer pool orders by the four-day deadlines given.... and then they sit there for two or three weeks un-purchased. ...

Still nothing at this end - and it's already Friday 16th 10.40am for me, so I guess the working day is over already in Canada by now?

Since the new site update, I can't edit any existing articles in my catalog. I got an email this morning from a client saying "there's no file attached to the article" . That's great, especially since I can see clearly the full article in the long-form box, but it's not converting to a fil...

I've applied for a couple of these in the past. With any that ask for examples of my work, I'll choose some in my portfolio that are on a similar topic or theme and include the links to those articles in the application. If they're interested in checking my writing style, they'll look at the links p...

Thanks for the response, Constant. The private requests showed up yesterday (Friday for me) on my account. Fortunately the client sent over the topics in a private message, so I already had them written. So I loaded the articles to the request immediately and the client has since purchased them. Tha...

Hi Katie,

Welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your time on Constant Content

Thanks for your suggestions, Abbamay. I have tried all of those things. Still nothing. The first notion I had of the client ordering anything is the private message she sent asking where the articles were. Nothing in notifications, nothing in my projects, nothing noted in private requests. I've cont...

Yesterday a client contacted me through the messaging system asking why I hadn't completed a Private Request she ordered. That got me stumped for a moment, because there wasn't a Private Request showing anywhere from that particular client since last week. I emailed support. No response. I emailed t...
