Daytipper, have you written for them?

I think I write fairly decent. Well, I have submitted three seperate polished pieces to this site. Each time I was rejected. Now, as a writer I know this will happen. It makes me contemplate the validity of daytipper. I expected to be accepted and told that they did not wish to pay, but would add it. All I was forwarded was a form mail telling me that the pieces did not meet the criteria. Oh well, on to the next whiskey bar.

oh dear, the whiskey bar! It can't be that bad. I hope you find somewhere that is more appreciative of decent writing. There is less and less well writen stuff around, and part of this is because sites are dumbing down. Shame. Oh, and mine is a double!

Nathan, the guy that owns it, did a lot of bad things to it. He actually posted ALL of the tips that were submitted and scammed about 10,000 people out of their pay. When the people discovered this, which were the people submitting the most tips, he tried to cover it up and said it was nothing more than a code error that caused it. He claims that all tips will be displayed on the front page. Which means published and you'll be paid. However, if your tip was put up on the site, that means it was published and you should get paid. However, Nathan doesn't seem to work that way, he quickly removed all the tips that were submitted and published for pay, and is now telling everyone that things will work out, people will get paid, etc and in reality, no one is seeing anything.

How does Helium work? I've looked at their Web site and still can't figure out how you make money there. You write articles and get paid based on how other people rate them, is that it?

Thanks for the suggestion of Helium. I hadn't heard of them. I have written a few things for Associated Content and have been pretty happy with the results. But of course, always looking for new writing sites. You can also publish with Gather.com. You get paid in giftcards. It's like MyLot, but a more serious crowd. You get people to respond to what you write and can respond to others, but I find the topics on there pretty good, and there are a lot of writers on there too.

well.. i originally opened this up to thank you for the tip about daytipper.. it was one I hadn't heard of yet but seeing so many people warn of a scam I won't even bother to check it out... but thank you art for the good review of gather.com.. i'll go check it out :)
