Yes, it does work and no, it doesn't work the way that you described. Constant Content is not a bidding site like Elance, Getafreelancer, ODesk etc. It's a site where writers can display excerpts of their articles and set their own prices. Publishers can request articles, but it is not a bidding system. Publishers display their request, along with the description and the amount they are willing to pay. Interested writers contact them.

Yes, Constant Content is a legitimate site. It's also very picky about who can write there. If your writing isn't professional quality, you might just as well not bother.
This seems to be one of those days for complete misunderstanding of writing sites. Someone posted a question about earning up to $10.00 upfront pay at eHow. Where do people get this kind of misinformation, and why don't they read the FAQ and help files available on every site? If they can't be bothered to find the facts for themselves, I suspect they're not going to do very well as paid writers.

I have been writing for Constant Content for about a month. I haven't sold anything yet, but I know it's only a matter of time. Celeste Stewart wrote an ebook about writing for CC that is pretty good. Apparently, you can make more by submitting to public requests than by just uploading whatever articles you want.

I'm also a writer at CC and can confirm that it is certainly legit - the site pays like clockwork and, provided that you're not put off by their stringent editorial process, it can be a great place to profit from writing about pretty much whatever you want. The only potential flaw is that clients can request an article for a niche market and then never buy the content that writers produce, but in comparison with CC's many flaws, it's not really a huge setback. I've just started writing for Bright Hub but the jury's out so far in terms of payment satisfaction etc.

Yes, I've worked for Constant Content and yes, they're a legitimate site. They're good at paying and have (or had, I don't write there any more) a good support system.
You don't bid on the jobs, but you can write for anything that's being asked for, as well as submitting other work. When someone buys your work, they let you know right away and then you get paid... I think you have to make a minimum of $25 (50?) to get paid.

I've used the site as a buyer - basically I asked for articles on a subject, several writers submited pieces on that topic to the site (for anyone to be able to buy and use, not just me) and I could choose to buy them or not. I got some great writing but also one that wasn't poorly written, just factually inacurate.

Is this a legit site? Is it paying? Are there any membership requirements? I am from the Philippines and I want to know if I can accept job in that site. Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you, signed up at Constant Content but haven't yet done any work for them. I am keeping busy writing on Associated Content and for my own site and working on a book to possibly publish some day. I have friends here on myLot who do work for them and are very happy with their earnings.

I submitted an article and it was rejected. So since I wrote it I sent it to associated content and they bought it for 3.50 plus residuals. I guess I am not good enought for constant content yet.
