DAILY WRITING ASSIGNMENTS AVAILABLE IF YOU:


All Freelance Writers who seriously want to write for a living PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE. This information is specifically for new freelance writers who are ready to take their writing to the next level. Are you ready to STOP worrying about traffic and page views? Do you want to STOP working so hard for “clicks” and “hits” ? If you’re ready to leave the internet marketing and promotion to the gurus and concentrate only on your writing, I encourage you to read ALL the information contained in this Hub and follow through right away. If you do, you don’t have to be a frustrated writer anymore. You can finally earn some real cash!

IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING – NO THIS IS:

* NOT about Google Ad Sense or any pay-per-click program
* NOT about Clickbank or any affiliate marketing program
* NOT about Amazon or any contextual ads

Affiliate programs and contextual advertising are popular ways to try and make your writing earn money. But even with a big company like Google Ad Sense, these kind of programs usually take time before you generate a profit. People usually chalk up a few cents here and there. Unless you have a website getting about a thousand or more page views a day, it will probably be months before you even make pocket change. Writers with simple websites that are used solely to promote their writing, don’t get a thousand page views a month, let alone a day!

I discovered a REAL site for writers like myself to make money online. It is called Constant Content and I absolutely love it! I am not alone either. More and more writers are finding out about Constant Content (CC) and signing up to start getting paid for their writing. Not long ago, a fellow hubber, wrote a great hub article about the site. The article reinforced what I had only recently learned about CC. I had already signed up with CC but I hadn't found the KEY to getting my articles accepted yet. It can sometimes be a little tricky for writers who tend to overlook proper sentence structure. But the information you find here will help those writers who want to sign up and start submitting work.

GET MONEY IN YOUR MAIL DAILY!


It really is a great feeling to open your inbox and see the above information. Someone has selected your writing from all the rest and agreed to purchase it. The icing on the cake comes on payday when you confirm your Paypal account was actually credited the payment. Do you enjoy viewing your hub page stats, Google Ad Sense reports or e-How account summary? Well you’re gonna love logging into CC to check your inbox! Your joy will be multiplied a thousand times more!

COMPARE THE E-HOW IMAGE BELOW TO THE CONSTANT CONTENT IMAGES UNDERNEATH. WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER SEE IN YOUR INBOX?

As you can see, the two CC payments were earned within a seven day period. I wasn't even able to give 50% of my time that week because I had other things going on. That means being able to devote more time to writing will reap additional benefits. I've recently developed a practical writing schedule that is workable. I've also created a blog specifically for Constant Content writers like myself. What I don't know, I make a point to find out so writers can learn all they can about writing for CC. The "Constant Content Cash" blog is a great way to share information about earning money with CC. Be sure to check it out.


DON'T WAIT TO SIGN UP - JOIN TODAY!

First sign up for Constant Content and be sure to join their Writer’s Compensation program. It’s TOTALLY FREE to do both. Be sure to fill in your profile and account information. This is how they will know where to send your payments. Because they currently pay via PayPal, you will need to have a PayPal account, which is also free to open. Although you can start submitting your writing immediately, you cannot receive payments until your PayPal account is active. Be sure to do this since your threshold (minimum amount you must earn before receiving payment) can be as low as $5.00. You may be receiving money sooner than you think (My last article sold was only 600 words and sold for $40.00).



DON'T BE AFRAID TO WRITE WHAT PEOPLE ASK FOR!

One way to get paid is to choose from Requested Articles (public requests for specific articles) The requests are made to the CC community and they usually come from repeat customers who have used CC articles before. They know that Constant Content writing is of high quality.

The customer will provide details about what they want written, when they need it and how much they’ll pay for the writing. They even tell you what length they want the article (word count). They will typically indicate if they want to buy Full Rights (they buy it outright and are free to alter it and remove your name), Unique Rights (they buy it outright but cannot alter or remove your name), or simple Usage Rights (they can use the article but you retain rights and you can still offer it to others).


WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW - LEARN WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW!

You can also make money by writing about whatever you want to write about. It's up to you. It should be something you will enjoy writing and if possible, a topic you know something about. That doesn't mean you can't research an unfamiliar topic and write a decent article about it. Just make sure you get your facts from 3 or 4 different sources and avoid any form of plagiarism, at all cost! Don't forget that your writing still has to appeal to potential customers. Most customers who search for articles on Constant Content are webmasters seeking web content for their viewers. Try to select topics that have mass appeal but also topics that target a particular niche. Shy away from time-sensitive articles because they have a short shelf-life.

When you select a topic to write about, you also get to set your own price for the article. You can view existing article requests of the same length as a good gauge for setting a price. You can even activate your “Best Offer” button, and accept or reject whatever offer a customer makes.


MAKE SURE YOUR WRITING IS POLISHED

In order to sell your articles and get paid, your writing should be grammatically correct and free from all errors. This is a MUST! Constant Content has a reputation for providing quality writing.. They are sticklers for crossing your I’s and dotting your T’s. To prevent rejections, check and double-check for accuracy. before you submit writing.


STAY AHEAD OF THE GAME WITH EMAIL ALERTS

Constant Content will send alerts to your account’s inbox whenever there are new public Requested Articles. You have to select this option on the My Account Details page. This way you will get automatic updates before the new requests are even posted for general viewing. Some requests are for one or two articles on the same topic, while some customers may request as many as 50 articles or more on the same topic. They may only need to be short articles about 300 - 600 words.  Even if the customer is only willing to pay 10 – 20 dollars per article, you can still make a tidy little profit if they purchase more than one of your articles. Email alerts help you stay ahead of the game and earn more by getting a head start.


WATCH WHAT ARTICLES ARE BEING SOLD

Keep an eye on the Recently Sold Articles. This gives you an ideal about popular topics, so you know what to write about. It also helps you monitor public Requested Articles and determine when multiple articles are still needed. For EXAMPLE: A customer makes a request for 5 articles to be written about water parks. If you view the Recently Sold Articles and notice that two water park articles were purchased, it’s safe to assume they still need 3 more articles. Now you can submit your own water park article. In the event you submit writing for a public request and it is not purchased, it will be put on general display. Other customers may purchase it or you can remove it, modify it and try publishing it again.


VISIT AND COMMENT IN THE CONSTANT CONTENT FORUM

Visit the CC Forum to read current and former posts by other writers. You can also post your own comments. This exchange of information is invaluable. You'll gain insight on the best way to write articles for CC. .You'll be surprised how much you learn from networking about Constant Content .

Serious-Minded Writers Required

Would you like to join other new writers and learn how to make more money with your writing ? Be sure to visit Constant Content Cash (FAQ ). Any and everything you need to know about making the MOST money with CC is discussed on my Constant Content Cash website. That's because I created it specifically for the purpose of helping new CC writers get paid MORE.

As you can see, I think very highly of this site, and I have spent a lot of time learning about how to make the most from all those writing jobs that I find in my inbox every day. Even if some of the Requested Content doesn't appeal to me, I always think of a writer I know that the assignment would be just perfect for! I truly love the opportunities the job postings provide, even if I don't respond to any for that day. I want to see more writers realize that they have an alternative to trying desperately to make money with Google Ads or other contextual advertising.

Everyone tries to make money with contextual ads and affiliates because it's a great source of residual income. But no matter how great earning money from ad revenue is, and how lucrative writing for pay under those circumstances can be, it's not for everyone. Some people will never make any money with contextual advertising. On the other hand, not every writer can write for Constant Content, but it is a good option for the person who does not make money with Google Adsense, Ebay, or other affiliate type income. Constant Content could be a better income writing source for some writers, since it provides daily work they can actually make a living doing, It does, however, take writing discipline to regularly submit work on demand for pay.

  • A large percentage of GOOD WRITERS get discouraged before they even get published! This site pays good, and therefore expects good writing all across the board: CONTENT / STRUCTURE / GRAMMAR / SPELLING / PUNCTUATION

To help new CC writers stay motivated daily, I write a regular regular Motivating Constant Content Writers blog. While CC has their own forums and lots of help for new writers, sometimes you can't express how you really feel, or your concerns about a network when you know THEY are monitoring you, that's why the Motivating Constant Content Writers blog is not only inspirational, but it helps to openly discuss anything that may prevent you from writing more and having your articles published and purchased.

I have include the blog feed to the right, for your convenience. I encourage you to send any questions, comments or concerns to the email address below or post them here online.


Tip

This point is important and worth repeating. Be Sure Your Writing Is Polished! The most successful CC writers get paid and even earn a living from the money they make writing. If you take your time, give your writing some thought and follow the CC guidelines, you can definitely earn some cash. Constant Content takes 35% of the total sale of each article and the author receives 65%. If you are referred by another author, the 5% commission they receive will come out of Constant Content's percentage. A good referral partner (like myself) will be instrumental in helping you succeed in getting your first sale.

Warning

Probably one of the biggest barriers to writers succeeding on CC is the article submission process. Everyone receives rejections at some point. It may be a minor thing like a misplaced comma (I know from experience). Don’t get angry or disgusted and give up. Just remove the comma, re-submit the article and keep on writing!

Hi Charm, I am a new Hubber, so I am new at learning all about how hubpages and the writing arena works. I was so excited when I read your article. I really enjoy writing and am ready to move to the next level. At this stage it's not about the money (though I would love to make some), it's about seeing my name in print. I went to the site from your page immediately after reading your hub and joined CC. I would love to stay in touch, and join your fan club. Please also take a look at my page and consider being a fan of mine.

Thanks a lot!

No - to the best of my knowledge, they only use PayPal for payment distribution at this time. This is a downfall for them. Also the fact that they only operate in the USA. I imagine they are working on ways to fix this problem because they exclude a lot of good writers by this limitation. Sorry shweta. Best of Luck!

Sigh! I am a frustrated writer but I think that is part of being a writer. And like you say, it's a matter of knowing what is best for you. It is a constantly changing field.

Thanks to you, I've checked out Constant Content and it looks promising especially 'writing on request.' We writers need many venues!

This is a great hub!

Hi Joya - I know what you mean, that's why I keep screaming out Constant Content (CC) to everyone. Even when I get irritated by other outside crap, the work at CC keeps coming!  Whether or not I get in on some of it is totally up to me and my writing. There's just no getting around that. This fact has made me step up my game. 

I say to everyone, KEEP AT IT!  If you signed up, or you sign up with CC, please BE SURE to come back and read this hub again for specific tips. They'll make more sense once you're able to SEE what I'm discussing. Follow my blog, other people's blogs and hubs, and especially the CC forum!  Anything CC related perks up my ears.

It is MANDATORY to your success to know what works best and what doesn't.  You'll get (mostly) a lot of great insight reading other people's thoughts, concerns and even successes - JUST LIKE HERE ON HUB.  You can tell when you're reading the truth, vs. just somebody's personal rant or rave.  By the way - anyone that has ANY INFO. on sites that actually pay similar to CC, PLEASE let us know! GOOD LUCK GUYS!

I've been signed up with Constant Content for some time now, and (as you say) it is a legitimate site. Many people make an "issue" of the fact that they expect polished material, so it isn't for the person who can't produce that. It's a good site, though.

Hi charm_baker! CC is a good site for making cash by writing. The earning potential is very good.

charm_baker  says:

Greetings "Skeptical" - The $10 -$200 is a range of what writers are making.  A standard size requested article at CC (typically between 300 - 600 words) will generally be purchased between $10 - $30, depending on what rights are sold. Larger articles sell for more and are also based on content demand and importance. 

"REQUESTED CONTENT" means a customer has very specific needs and they spell everything out, including the length of the article, how much they will pay and for what "rights".  All other article prices are set by the writer, but while you want to be fair to yourself, you also need to set a competitive price.

skeptical  says:

There doesn't seem to be any details as to the breakdown of payments per article. Perhaps I just missed it. It just says on the home page, $10.00 - $200.00 pere article. That's some spread! Does anyone ever make more than $10.00?
