Re: Articles selling for $0.00

Hey Word Gypsy, this sucks and I hope they fix it for you soon. I haven't had this happen to me but I only sold 1 private request this month.

Re: Writer Pool Sales

Until they have some kind of escrow system in place, I really think writers should avoid these pools. Maybe do a few so you don't lose out on too much time and money, but I definitely wouldn't make a full time effort on them. They should go into the open marketplace, but remember if they are brand s...

Re: Vague rejection

You have to check to make sure the request is listed after you choose private or public pool request. I just did a "private" request but it was listed only after I chose writer pool in the dropdown. I guess it depends on the type of request the customer uses when they set it up.

Re: Mystery of Disappearing Article

It all depends on the editor. I was all into an article once and it came to 2500 words. It went through and actually sold already.

Re: Constant Content's Aversion to Promotional Content

Yeah, that's what I meant. Wonder how many people complained that they didn't have a byline and then they are forced to contact the customer. Probably why unique went away too but I think that had more to do with nobody ever bought unique lol

Re: Constant Content's Aversion to Promotional Content

I'm guessing the removal of use was from the writers complaining that the rule was to have their byline. Just a guess though I don't know. I can't see how it was a bad thing for business but of course we're all on the outside and maybe there is a legit reason for it.

Re: Blog based on application sample rejected

Don't they give you a list of topics to choose from? If so I'm guessing they don't want a ton of articles on the same topic.

"waiting" also means the article is in someone's shopping cart

Re: Non-pool, non-request, waiting status?

You can email them. I know your frustration on that one. I usually just leave it until it suddenly gets taken out. I would give it a couple weeks though.

Re: Constant Content's Aversion to Promotional Content

There are a few ways I think they are falling behind, personally. No images, no links are two I can think of.

Re: Constant Content's Aversion to Promotional Content

I never try to interpret some of these rogue rejections. lol Last year at this time, I had to stop submitting because some editor was just saying "errors" and then purging my content. Wait a few months and another editor thinks it's fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Re: Constant Content's Aversion to Promotional Content

I've done some things specifically for some products like Google APIs and things. Is it a popular brands? I haven't gotten that rejection yet.

Re: Setting Pay for Writer Pool Requests

I'm always over people's budget, so I'm used to say "nah, need to add some zeros, broski." lol I don't really do writer's pools, but I do remember this one person that put a higher price for an article and the site owners (or editor maybe?) lowered the price and said that it didn't match t...

Re: How do private requests work?

There isn't. If I were you, I'd tell them that you'll do 1 and see what happens. I wouldn't spend too much time on it before testing it out. I had one person buy something from me in my catalog and then ask me for a custom article and never paid me. I know at Upwork there are a lot of writers who do...
