Article Sold On Constant Content... I'm Shocked!

Thanks :) Let me know if you ever change your mind and I'll pass on the link, cause I know how fabulous a writer you are because I've read some of your stuff :) There is a lot of potential for earning, and as far as I can see, the more effort you put into it the more you can make- just like anything.

I tend to go the other route when I write articles - I either use them to promote my sites/blogs or I use them as content on my sites/blogs to earn a residual income. I figure that it can sometimes take me that long to come up with an idea for an article that I'd rather earn a long time income from it than a one time payment etc - it's a tough call :-) Having said that - I just looked at your article (from your link down below - good job) and have a question for you. Underneath it says usage, unique and full rights along with the price - now if someone was to come along and decide to pay 10 for the use of that article - does the full rights then disappear? or if they pay full rights is the article then removed from the site etc?

I'm still trying to figure out when the unique and full rights disappears, as my article sold for usage so I'm fairly certain that it can only be purchased for usage now- but hey ten bucks over and over again isn't too bad if it sells more than once :) I know that with unique and full rights, it is taken off the site after it has been sold. They are one time payments :) Some of the more established writers there have prices very different to my own, which is where the "good money" comes in. Usage might be $50, Unique $80 and Full Rights $120. But that comes with time and experience... so one day :) Just another thing I should mention, if you only want to be able to sell articles for Usage so that you can sell them again and again, you can... You just put 0 in the Unique and Full Rights fields when submitting the article, and whatever price you want in Usage. That way you an use the article however you want to, as well as use it to sell over and over again.

I've sent you a pm with more details. It is very simple, all you have to be careful of is spelling and grammatical errors as they are quite picky. But they have fantastic support in their forum, and clear submission guidelines. Plus they pay international members which I found great. You can find topics people have requested under requested content once you join up. But you are also free to submit articles on any subject you like. Constant Content is the site and it is fantastic.

Well that's what I was looking for too- something to kill some time (other than cleaning and looking after my son whilst I'm pregnant too) plus be able to write, make a bit of extra cash and have fun! Good luck with it all, and please let me know if you have any questions or anything... :)

Thank you so much for the information. I may give it a try. I am definitely going to check it out. Plus, since I am on bedrest now for the next couple weeks (due to pregnancy) it will give me something to do to hopefully help pass the time.

Thanks meme, I am so excited... The article that got sold was "Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The Diet Makes All The Difference" Here's the link http://www.constant-content.com/MoreDetails/51941-Irritable_Bowel_Syndrome__The_Diet_Makes_All_The_Difference.htm It's nothing special really, it just shows how easy it is to make money from Constant COntent, and similar sites.

congrats once again and keep making money! I will check out the site and see if I can make some money on it. Well keep up the good work and keep making money.

Thanks :) Practice makes perfect as they say :)

As I mentioned to an earlier poster, another option is to use articles that you have published elsewhere (so no need to use your time to write anything new) and submit them for "usage" only. Even if you just sell one or two a month, it's a nice residual income, and they can be sold over and over again. There is also a guide when you are submitting your article as to rough price guides. I tend to go below what they recommend though, because I am still trying to establish myself over there. It's something to think about anyway. I wish there were more opportunities like Constant Content for Australian writers. Associated content seems great but they won't pay international members- including aussies! And the other site I've thought about is Helium, but I get mixed reviews about them! Any other writing sites you could recommend?
