I may soon be receiving my first (And last) iwriter payment :)

Yes, I'm not happy with the site as it pays too low for the work. I'm planning on joining revenue sharing sites. If it doesn't work out, I will see textbroker. Also, do you know about ContentCurrent?

Hi Boyuancy, best to stick to sites that are established first. You will learn about the demand of certain niches. After you have learnt about seo, and the niches that are popular, you can write for passive income in revenue sharing sites. I do not ghostwrite for anyone. I want my content to produce income for years and years. Right now, I am building up a portfolio in Expertscolumn. I have slightly more than 600 articles now. Most of the articles are actually published in Triond a year or so ago. Since Expertscolumn allows republishing of content, I just copy and paste over. If you like to join, you are welcome to join as my referral. The link is in my profile page.

I'm already a member of Expertscolumn, and although I don't have enough articles there, I plan to use republished content there as you. I have understood considerable things about SEO, and it is way easier than it is made to think, atleast from the writing POV. I am starting my dedicated work on Factoidz.

Unless he's never tried it himself, of course, which is the case here. I do speak crap sometimes, so it's worth making your own decisions. And thank you for the compliments on the forum - and for making it a better place, both of you!

Boyuancy, I second that - Spike's forum is new and small but perfectly formed, with some great advice, and some helpful and supportive members. I haven't bothered with iwriter yet, and after reading this, I don't think I will. Our Spike knows his stuff, and if he says don't bother, we should all take note.

It's completely the other way around here. I started with 5 stars and dropped down to 4. Also, there is more work and easier too, for the 'Elite' writers. By the way, that's a nice forum you've got there for freelance writers. Best of luck for it.

If you are thinking of joining an upfront payment writing site, I suggest you join textbroker. They have way better payment options than this site, way better.

Your articles' 'fate' would be decided in a day. If you are selected, you will see a 'red' notification number on the top, saying that these number of articles need your attention. Write in the areas that you are good in, so you get easily selected and it boosts your confidence level.

I may not be completely because of poor grammer. There are psychopaths who request for articles. I wrote an article for a guy, and got rejected for the first time. I agreed it wasn't the best stuff I had written. Then I wrote again for the same guy, I got rejected again. It happened 3 times straight and from 5 stars (Max. possible), I got down to 4. All my rest articles were accepted, I guess just one more was rejected. It was my bad.

@Befrindwithme....so which is that site that is not strict on grammar? am interested to know and join.

I did not understand most of what you said, but what I gain, I'll say yes. I mean I gathered quite some experience writing there and learned on important subjects like SEM. I plan to join Factoidz.

All the best dear

The thing is, I feel the site pays too low for good work, which can be appreciated very well. I don't really know what niches you write about, but I write about online money making, and it is one of the best earning niches. So I'm not giving up, I'm just moving over to another site.

Hey Runi, the reason I'm leaving is that the pay isn't really good. I mean I believe I have offered very good content for mediocre prices, and the information I give out through my writing is well, way more worth than that. I wrote particularly for the Online Income and Technology niches, where I would find many articles about topics on which I've written before like web hosting, buying fans etc. So I just had to reproduce the same content over and over with different words. You may join the site for experience if you like.
