scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 11 May 09

This list is compiled from various sources, including the forums in AC, Helium and many blogs. I do not have personal experience in all the writing sites. Please comment on the features of the writing sites if you are writing for...

DreamOn01 Yes, there are sites where students can hire someone to write their papers. Academia Research is just one. Some will collect papers and sell them, and others outsource writers to write papers customized to the students' needs and assignments. In freelance...

Question about Associated Content

byfaithonly @byfaithonly (10698) • United States 11 Sep 08

I know there are a lot of myLot members who write articles for Associated Content (AC). I also know I could post this on the discussion forum over at AC but I want to get the opinion/experience of myLot members. If you write...

DreamOn01 The first few articles I published there had been published elsewhere, and I still received upfront payment. But that was two years ago. Kelly3 is right. Now, if you want upfront payment, you need to submit to AC first. Previously published articles can only...

DreamOn01 Translation sounds like it would be an interesting route if you can read and write in another language. I got into editing when I took a full-time job at local trade magazine for a very entry-level salary. After leaving the company, I researched various job...

Republishing your articles to get more money?

SydneyHazelton @SydneyHazelton (4586) • Singapore 10 Jul 08

I'm just wondering whether there are any of you who publish your articles in Triond and subsequently republish them elsewhere like HubPages or Helium or AC? Is that legal? Is it okay to do so?

DreamOn01 Ouch! Having content stolen is something many writers have to deal with, especially writing when writing for the web. It's easy to do, and many writers don't think to check for it (I know I didn't, and I'm still not as vigilant as I should be). Perhaps you can...

Which Communities Do You Write or Post In Besides MyLot?...

multimastery @multimastery (1195) • United States 7 Jul 08

I write content in the HubPages Community and I am happy to say that it now generates me at least a couple hundred a month as a result of having my content posted there. I feature this community in my profile. Also I've recently...

DreamOn01 With AC you have the option of selling them exclusive rights or nonexclusive rights. I always submit articles for nonexclusive rights so I am free to sell or post them elsewhere. Suite101, on the other hand, requires exclusive rights for the first year...

How many books do you read?

lazeebee @lazeebee (5461) • Malaysia 26 Jun 08

What I meant was, how many books do you read at one time? I would read 3-5 books at one time. I would read one book, got stuck at maybe one-third, then skip to the next one and maybe got bored and move on to another one and so on....

one book at a time

DreamOn01 I edit and review both fiction and nonfiction. To be honest, I've never had trouble getting stories (plots or characters) confused with fiction. I have found that good authors have a distinct voice and their characters have their own personalities, so the...

Thumbs Down To Publishing Costs.

keelymcilwain @keelymcilwain (797) • Canada 26 Jun 08

I have always wanted to write a book and have it sold in stores. I have recently looked into the cost of publishing a book. Ever ridiculous. For the smallest order it is almost One Thousand dollars Canadian. I can't believe this....

DreamOn01 Ouch! That doesn't sound right. What kind of book are you writing? Is it something you need printed right away? My only experience with publishers at this point has been as a freelance editor and as a reviewer. However, I have a few author friends who have had...

PearlGrace @PearlGrace (3171) • United States 24 Jun 08

I just checked my messages at Associated Content and there was an announcement that is sort of exciting. AC is giving increased pay per performance payments to all Content Producers with a clout level of 7 or more, beginning with...

DreamOn01 PearlGrace, It took a little while, but I figured it out. This may not be the most efficient way to do this, but I went to myLot's FAQ page and selected edit preferences. There is an option on the list to "Edit Your Preferences." Under the question about...

Does anyone have any experience writing for Demand Studios?

DreamOn01 @DreamOn01 (146) • United States 12 Jun 08

I've heard about Demand Studios from a few writing groups I'm involved with. Some say they pay well, while others say the pay is too low. So if any one has any experience with them, please share. Was it positive or negative? Do...

Is reading too much a symptom of a problem?

jasbir_pro @jasbir_pro (283) • India 11 Jun 08

Is there a problem with me if I read too much? I have been through rough times most of my life, and quite often I have found solace, even encouragement in books. But now, even when I am much better off, I can't keep away from...

DreamOn01 Buttus Giganticus? That sounds like something my husband would say. ;) Hubby and I are both looking forward to retirement so we can spend more time reading (in my case, books I enjoy instead of books I'm being paid to read), but that's a while off yet. Anyway,...

Depeche Mode

DreamOn01 "Walking In My Shoes" is from Songs of Faith and Devotion, and "Only When I Lose Myself" is from "Singles 1986-1998." I especially recommend Songs of Faith. It's a little "rockier" than some of their others, but the songs are brilliant.

DreamOn01 I know what you mean. I've only been a member for a few days, and I've had the same thing happen. I retyped responses to one discussion 3 times before I finally just gave up on that discussion completely. It's really frustrating.

DreamOn01 I agree. Copying and pasting from a word processing document that you've written should be allowed. Not only would it keep you from losing your post, but it also would help eliminate typos.
