Re: Best Selling Authors

I am also about a year old now here. But must admit that I have been too inactive at CC, and won't call myself a "Constant Content Best-selling Freelancer". You can see it right away at vjlenin profile, which has about 45 articles from which 27 fulls were sold. Altogether I made only 1000 ...

Re: First Offer! How do I accept it or counter it?

My first offer, which came to my first article, within two hours of getting it accepted was for 50 dollars, while the article itself was put at about 100 dollars or so. I saw the offer, wanted to reject it. I saw that the customer email address was also mentioned. I emailed him personally and mentio...

Re: Just when you thought they couldn't get any cheaper...

Sad that many people from my country (India) are there to happily write for this guy. I have written blog posts and opined in several places not to undertake such crackpot jobs, but sadly, college guys and all, with somewhat good grasp of English may jump on them thinking they got the heaven at thei...

Re: Pricing of articles - Who is selling for $1 - $5?

Most of the authors, who really know the potential here, including people like Celeste, have always told authors to set optimum prices for the content. I have set a fair price on my articles myself, which was never too high nor too low. It was enough to make a very good earning for me. In fact, the ...

Re: New Submission Protocol

So true, Barry. I love this forum. In fact, with the new guidelines, if a careless, but good, author uploads 3 articles and get all of them rejected, he will be entirely out of the system. So, it will be good that CC points out to newbiews that they can be rejected and be out of a really life-changi...

Re: Constant Content Gets an Update

bye bye dark read. I liked it a lot though. Blue is welcome, especially deep blue, which is my favorite color. But the way you modified the forum, really wasn't acceptable to me. Please don't give the main site such a makeover.

Re: short blogs or long article?

It's like this. See, when you have one thousand or more word article, you can put what? a hundred dollars to sell it on full rights. Maybe 150. When you have four 300 word articles, you can put individual prices on them. Such as 50, 59, 45, 51. Altogether, it goes well above your original article pr...

Re: Constructive Criticism Thread

Actually, I don't know of "them thar hills". So I would definitely italicize it. Well, since CC is primarily American, I guess it's ok for most. By the way, I found many people using italics in "<i>sdfd<i\>", the tags are actually, "<i>sdfsdf</i>". Lenin

Re: My first rejection in life

Mythili, from India, huh? About awkward wording, I got rejected too, a few times due to it. But I found that simple proofreading after keeping it resting for two days works things out. Also, consider using larger font for proofreading. I have set my word zoom to 180 percent so I can easily spot even...
