Re: Strange Request
I clicked it knowing I could prevent or fix any problem it created. There is an image of a document on the page, that Chrome translated for me. If this is legitimate, I would assume the sender wants it rewritten. Since it looks like it got spammed to most everyone, I'm not going to attempt it. Best ...

Re: Elance?
Not yet. It's on my list. I only went there as I had a small window I needed to fill.

Elance?
I've seen a few posts on here about Elance, but am curios about anyone having success there. The jobs that I see have such high requirements and low pay, I rarely bid on anything and have never been awarded a job. Was looking at a few today, and after reading some of the proposals, think I understan...

Re: Confused about projects
Understood. I got an email a bit later asking if I wanted to be part of a team and it sounded like the same client. Not sure if that is the case. Would I need to pitch myself to be part of a team after I was added to the project?
Will await further developments.

Confused about projects
I have looked at projects since that function started, but never got involved beyond scrolling through and now I have one that I might be interesting but not sure how to proceed. I just got an email that I was invited to a project. When I click on it, there is a title and a paragraph from the client...

Re: Review Times Seem Slow
Well, not any more. Just had 8 articles submitted over the last 2 weeks approved in the last half hour. Time to get busy

Site Issues?
Anyone but me having serious site issues? Don't know if it's related to the mass requests, but the last couple of days, I've had intermittent times with horribly slow access. Doesn't matter which browser I use, including one I never go to the site with. Just spent 10 minutes logging in and another 5...

Re: Anyone doing these G/O Digital Requests?
I've sent Sienna two emails and haven't heard back. I can do a few, but can't afford to blind and have it rejected. One of the ones I'm interested in has conflicting website addresses on 2 of the docs.

Re: Resource link?
Did you year from anyone on this? I was going to write a few, but the topics I am interested in had conflicting info in the 3 doc files.

Re: Do Author Bylines on Usage Only Articles Help/Hurt Sales
Never occurred to me either, but I looked up my last five usage articles and none of them had my byline. Per a user on another thread, if you don't include it, the buyer doesn't have to.

No, I didn't understand that either. I will start adding my byline to articles. Thanks for the info

Re: Rights and Legitimate Use
Just sent a message to support. It turns out all of the last 5 use rights articles I sold are online under someone else's name. I know many authors don't offer use, or do so at the same price as full, and this may drive me there. I do have some old use articles that have sold many times, but not eno...

Re: Not in Search Results
I have found in recent months, and others have posted about it, that when a request deadline passes, the article is no longer automatically released into the general pool. You have to ask, sometimes several times, before this is done. I had one set of articles that, when I finally got in touch with ...

Rights and Legitimate Use
So, I'm looking for tearsheets on the web to add to my website. Like most authors here, most stuff is sold for full rights, so it's rare to find your byline on those. I was going back several months and searching for articles I sold for use rights. I found one from last year where the blogger had cl...

Re: Standard Punctuation Rules
I always used two until one of the sites rejected my articles for it. Since then, I have used one space everywhere, but it's still a tough habit to break. As often as not, I now end my sentences with period, space, space, backspace.
