That's what I'm saying ... going back the prices are higher. I can remember weeks where there was nothing sold less than $35! It just seems that in the past month or so, a lot of articles have sold for a lot less than they would have four months ago. And 'volume discounting' is cheap Chris, you know...

I'm Complaining!

Before I was earning $200-$400 a week ... my last payment from C-C was just under $70 and it took longer than a week to get that. Authors are slashing prices around here I believe for the sake of numbers because no one can live off of $7 per 500 word article! Something is gonna have to give. I've be...

I think the public part of it is a lost cause because the public is obsessed with 'glitz and glam'. Just look at the top searches on google, Jessica Simpson one week and Britney Spears the next then JLo on and on. We all do it. At the store we even invest our money in name brand products, careful to...

Are you sleeping with my husband??? LOL No, really I agree 100% about these celebrity authors but then again, you know that they didn't write one single sentence in the entire book. Guess who did though ... A well paid "ghostwriter" and hey, you gotta respect 'em. C'mon, if you were offere...

They e-mailed C-C ... that's even cooler. Well, now they know! LOL Eleven:54 is a rock group but I don't know if you've heard of the Pussy Cat Dolls or not, they played along side them and that chick Natasha Bedingfield (may be spelled wrong) at the Plex in Charleston for the 95SX Halloween Bash. 95...

I have to brag ...

In October I wrote an article about a band that has been doing a lot of promoting in Charleston, S.C. because a guy requested some articles about bands. The band is Eleven:54 and the guy didn't buy my article. Anway, I was looking in my sold content area and I saw who bought that article in December...

Matt, I think you're customer is mistaken because there are so many 'phone drives' going on right now in search of phones to send soldiers. I'm sure when I say that there's not one specific brand or type being distributed over there. My uncle's a PW 4 (I think) and he says there's no specifics, they...

Ok, I have an admission to make here and y'all can either love me or hate me but this is 'tell all' time. Those writers that supposedly write so cheap ... they don't. I've e-mailed a few with requests to see what their response would be and most say they realized they couldn't produce for so little,...

That's a good question that most people don't want to share about ... I'm nice though. I agree 100% with Candice, you have to have a website period. I see ads all the time, "e-mail me and request a sample". My question is, do you like opening countless attachments? I don't and nobody else ...

I agree 110%! It's cheap and not worth it. Too much work for not enough return, I could care less about 'numbers' because I write for a living and dollar signs are the motivating factor for me. Usually it's the writers just beginning that charge next to nothing, it's a shame to see an established wr...

Well .... that sucks! A whole six months, that's pretty greedy but that's Internet politics I guess. I've really been getting into blogs lately and I've found some really peculiar ones ... they are pretty neat though. I still don't know if I can get into the whole blogging thing though. I've actuall...
