Question for Associated Content & Constant Content users.

Highflyingxangel is right. You can submit for nonexclusive and then publish it elsewhere, but remember, no one can claim exclusive rights after that. I read that someone here on MyLot submits to Associated Content and Constant Content simultaneously as nonexclusive, which seems like a good idea if you've got a worthy article. Good luck with your writing.

Since you still hold the rights to the article you sold to AC, you still are able to submit it other places. Non exclusive means you only sold it once and allowed them to publish it on their system so you are still free to do as you please with it.

Is there a large enough difference in what AC will pay for exclusive over non? I haven't decided yet how to handle this issue. Can you decide on a case by case basis your decision to list as exclusive or not?

If AC accepted your article as non-exclusive, then it is still yours to do whatever you want with it. You can resell it to anyone you want. I sell articles to AC and Helium, and also publish them on my blog. I haven't heard of Constant Content yet; I'm going to check that site out also.

I just checked at the Constant Content website and this is what I found out. They only do a complete check of an article if you are submitting it for sale with unique or full rights. If you are subitting it to sell with usage rights only then it is okay if you have it published on AC. They no longer accept free articles. So as long as you publish on AC with non-exclusive and on CC for usage rights only then you should be okay. Of course payment will be lower without the exclusive rights, but you could sell the article multiple times to make up hte difference.

As far as AC is concerned, if you sell it non-exclusive, you can resell it anywhere....but constant content will reject it. They insist that everything be exclusive and they run it through all the double-check to see if it's been posted somewhere else filters. You could use it on Helium or personal blogs and maybe some other sites though...
