DAILY WRITING ASSIGNMENTS AVAILABLE IF YOU:

Frustrated writers get tired of hearing all the hype about how they can earn some real cash. This article gives facts about not just earning money for your writing at one site. You can actually get paid more for writing articles everywhere your work is published. Be sure to read this entire page if you want legitimate ways to earn the most from your article writing, no matter what websites you write for.  A link to my newest article writing Hub entitled How Article Writers Get Paid More for Writing Everywhere is provided.  After you consider the valuable details brought out in the eye opener, you'll begin to factor the concept into all your writing!

Specifically for New Article Writers

This hub is specifically for new freelance writers who are ready to take their writing to the next level. If you don't want to worry about traffic and page views, there is something here for you. If you want to STOP working so hard for “clicks” and “hits”, you will love this information about getting paid to ghost write. If you’re ready to leave the internet marketing and promotion to the gurus and concentrate only on your writing, I encourage you to read the following information contained in this Hub and follow through with what you learn right away. If you do, you don’t have to be a frustrated writer anymore. You can finally earn some real cash!

IN CASE YOU ARE WONDERING – NO THIS IS:

* NOT about Google Ad Sense or any pay-per-click program
* NOT about Clickbank or any affiliate marketing program
* NOT about Amazon or any contextual ads

Affiliate programs and contextual advertising are popular ways to try and make your writing earn money. But even with a big company like Google Ad Sense, these kind of programs usually take time before you generate a profit. People usually chalk up a few cents here and there. Unless you have a website getting about a thousand or more page views a day, it will probably be months before you even make pocket change. Writers with simple websites that are used solely to promote their writing, don’t get a thousand page views a month, let alone a day!

I discovered a REAL site for writers like myself to make money online. It is called Constant Content and I absolutely love it! I am not alone either. More and more writers are finding out about Constant Content (CC) and signing up to start getting paid for their writing. Not long ago, a fellow hubber, wrote a great hub article about the site. The article reinforced what I had only recently learned about CC. I had already signed up with CC but I hadn't found the KEY to getting my articles accepted yet. It can sometimes be a little tricky for writers who tend to overlook proper sentence structure. But the information you find here will help those writers who want to sign up and start submitting work.

It really is a great feeling to open your inbox and see the above information. Someone has selected your writing from all the rest and agreed to purchase it. The icing on the cake comes on payday when you confirm your Paypal account was actually credited the payment. Do you enjoy viewing your hub page stats, Google Ad Sense reports or e-How account summary? Well you’re gonna love logging into CC to check your inbox! Your joy will be multiplied a thousand times more!

DON'T WAIT TO SIGN UP - JOIN TODAY!

First sign up for Constant Content and be sure to join their Writer’s Compensation program. It’s TOTALLY FREE to do both. Be sure to fill in your profile and account information. This is how they will know where to send your payments. Because they currently pay via PayPal, you will need to have a PayPal account, which is also free to open. Although you can start submitting your writing immediately, you cannot receive payments until your PayPal account is active. Be sure to do this since your threshold (minimum amount you must earn before receiving payment) can be as low as $5.00. You may be receiving money sooner than you think (My last article sold was only 600 words and sold for $40.00).

Earn the Most from Your Article Writing

Article writers are constantly on the look out for ways that will help them get paid more for all the articles they publish everywhere. A great number of online writers provide articles for multiple writing sites. A uniform and workable system for producing articles and making the most money doing it can seem impossible. But some writers have found that no matter what article writing host you write for, you can earn more upfront and revenue pay. It simply takes understanding how writing websites work. As a long time article writer myself, I’ve spent a lot of time and attention devoted to learning how to get paid more from contextual advertising. After becoming a tired and frustrated writer over striving for this type of article revenue, I stopped. Taking time to focus on different types of article income, I discovered and tried ghost writing and eventually, up front paying sites.  I was thrilled to make real cash, even if it was at the low end.  I'll take excitement over a few bucks here and there to the thrill of a few clicks that pay less than a dollar any day!  If you're not making any money online with your writing at all, the information in How to Prevent HubPages, Constant Content and Demand Studios Burnout is for you.  But for now, stay focused :-) 

Determination to Earn More

While I learned a lot and ultimately began to finally earn an income from my writing efforts, I was still determined to learn how to earn more. Some things continued to bother me about the whole article writing situation. Some writers were apparently getting paid more upfront money for their articles, while I was stuck on one rate. This was true with upfront payments and revenue share articles. There were two main reasons that kept me continuing to think about how to get paid more with my articles, no matter what sites I decide to write for.

First, I don’t always like to write on a deadline or be forced to write to a specific title, with specific limitations, like I do with my Demand Studios (DS) articles. Demand Studios is actually a site where a serious writer who wants to earn cash can pick from literally thousands of titles each day and get paid typically $15 an article. [Sure lots of writers complain about this amount saying it's nothing, and crying it's not enough. But the reality is, if you're just getting your feet wet online, you'll be hard pressed to find regular clients that you can consistently rely on to pay you anything. It's up to you how much you make at DS, depending on how fast or slow you work]

Second, although I prefer the freedom of topic, title, content and even reference choices that I get with my Associated Content articles (now known as Yahoo Contributor Network). I didn’t like the low paying upfront payments. Though regularly receiving both small upfront payments combined with revenue shares for each article, I knew I could be getting paid more. I knew I could earn more upfront and revenue pay from this site that gave me so much freedom, but I didn’t understand how.

The Key to Earning More

Somehow, in my continued quest to get paid more with my articles, I discovered the key to earning more with an article I had published with the Yahoo Contributor Network. While toggling between the Demand Studios and Yahoo Contributor Network sites, I came across some valuable information. So far, what I learned about article writing for these sites have helped me and it can help other article writers if they take the time to apply it. That higher paying article that I provided to Yahoo Contributor Network paid me almost $4 more than the upfront rate that I was accustomed to. Needless to say, I started dissecting the article and everything about it to understand why. Then I began analyzing my other highest paying articles and making notes about similarities and differences. After a close scrutiny of the 160 articles I had been paid for at this one particular site alone, I made some stunning realizations and they are the focus of the article: How Article Writers Get Paid More for Writing Everywhere. I believe it is the final key to understanding how to get paid more with your articles everywhere and anywhere you write.If you want to learn about Earning More Upfront and Revenue Pay, I invite you to read the article.

Hi Charm, I am a new Hubber, so I am new at learning all about how hubpages and the writing arena works. I was so excited when I read your article. I really enjoy writing and am ready to move to the next level. At this stage it's not about the money (though I would love to make some), it's about seeing my name in print. I went to the site from your page immediately after reading your hub and joined CC. I would love to stay in touch, and join your fan club. Please also take a look at my page and consider being a fan of mine.

Thanks a lot!

No - to the best of my knowledge, they only use PayPal for payment distribution at this time. This is a downfall for them. Also the fact that they only operate in the USA. I imagine they are working on ways to fix this problem because they exclude a lot of good writers by this limitation. Sorry shweta. Best of Luck!

Sigh! I am a frustrated writer but I think that is part of being a writer. And like you say, it's a matter of knowing what is best for you. It is a constantly changing field.

Thanks to you, I've checked out Constant Content and it looks promising especially 'writing on request.' We writers need many venues!

This is a great hub!

Hi Joya - I know what you mean, that's why I keep screaming out Constant Content (CC) to everyone. Even when I get irritated by other outside crap, the work at CC keeps coming!  Whether or not I get in on some of it is totally up to me and my writing. There's just no getting around that. This fact has made me step up my game. 

I say to everyone, KEEP AT IT!  If you signed up, or you sign up with CC, please BE SURE to come back and read this hub again for specific tips. They'll make more sense once you're able to SEE what I'm discussing. Follow my blog, other people's blogs and hubs, and especially the CC forum!  Anything CC related perks up my ears.

It is MANDATORY to your success to know what works best and what doesn't.  You'll get (mostly) a lot of great insight reading other people's thoughts, concerns and even successes - JUST LIKE HERE ON HUB.  You can tell when you're reading the truth, vs. just somebody's personal rant or rave.  By the way - anyone that has ANY INFO. on sites that actually pay similar to CC, PLEASE let us know! GOOD LUCK GUYS!

I've been signed up with Constant Content for some time now, and (as you say) it is a legitimate site. Many people make an "issue" of the fact that they expect polished material, so it isn't for the person who can't produce that. It's a good site, though.

Hi charm_baker! CC is a good site for making cash by writing. The earning potential is very good.

charm_baker Hub Author 2 years ago

Greetings "Skeptical" - The $10 -$200 is a range of what writers are making.  A standard size requested article at CC (typically between 300 - 600 words) will generally be purchased between $10 - $30, depending on what rights are sold. Larger articles sell for more and are also based on content demand and importance. 

"REQUESTED CONTENT" means a customer has very specific needs and they spell everything out, including the length of the article, how much they will pay and for what "rights".  All other article prices are set by the writer, but while you want to be fair to yourself, you also need to set a competitive price.

There doesn't seem to be any details as to the breakdown of payments per article. Perhaps I just missed it. It just says on the home page, $10.00 - $200.00 pere article. That's some spread! Does anyone ever make more than $10.00?
