Have you noticed all the writing sites have their own article length requirement

I would write a long article and then summarize for the site that only requires 150 words and earn on it twice. It's perfectly fine to recycle.

Hello, MommaJ. I've noticed that, yes, and I think a 400 minimum word count is what I feel most comfortable with. Sometimes, though, you wonder how to get 400 words from a topic. In a current Helium contest, one of the titles is 'shy is a golf ball dimpled?' Brief research convinced me I could never spin that out into 400 words. Other times, you need a lot more, yet you feel the article would be too much for most people to write. I did a freelance job where I had to do 10 250 word articles on corporate gifts - keyrings, pens, etc. Some of them worked out just right, some needed a bit of stretching, and others I felt needed more words, but would anyone really want to read 400 words or more on conference folders, for example? Usually, the sites with low word counts don't pay that well, and I'd rather stick with something I'm happy with. 400 words gives the opportunity for creative expression - 150 usually doesn't.

Mommaj is always engaging in risky activity. Now she is talking about chopping articles. hmmm, I wonder how many choppers she keep at home. No wonder she is always sharpening her choppers, since she needs to chop articles, chop chickens, chop snakes, chop mutton, chop durians, chop winter melon, chop spiders and kick watermelons for fun. Actually some sites have less than 150 words requirement. Snipsly requires only three sentences, since you can use it as a bookmarking site, and not article submission site. For seo purpose, 400 words to 800 words articles are better. If you just want to get links to the main article, then 150 words will do. These 150 words serve as introductory to the main article. You can add "Read more about xxx at xxx", and hyperlink to the main article. Add a final paragraph for the author resource. Eg "About me: Mommaj is a crazy cavewoman. Her current hobby is chopping articles after chopping chicken"

I'd just continue writing until I feel it's okay. Why? Because it states that it's only a 150 word minimum.. MINIMUM. Not maximum. Totally different words. :D No cutting of the article. No posting it in halves or something. :D

I find that writing the minimum just doesn't work. I write for both review stream and dooyoo and both have a word minimum, but both only really pay for longer pieces. dooyoo state that it has to be actual opinion in the minimum or it will be deleated, review stream won't pay full whack for a short review, only the $0.50 and sometimes not even that. SEO wise for the revenue, generalyy articles over 1000 words do the best. I'm not sold on this logic as i think some shoter pieces are much better. but that's what's said!
