I second this motion -- that's one thing I'd definitely take advantage of!

For fiction, paying to publish is not the way to go. You'll sell less than 100 copies, often less than 50, no matter what you do. Isn't the effort you put into writing a book worth more sales than that?[/url] Too true. I used to work for an independent publisher "review company". It was a...

That's awesome that you manage to sell more at the end of the month! I'm jealous because all of my sales seem to happen within the first week of the month, so I get to stare at my money that waits around for three more weeks. And then I never seem to sell any more articles... until the start of the ...

Well, there are at least three customers who do not care about keywords, because I sold three articles a while ago and don't write with keywords in mind. I have seen a few public requests that mention SEO, which I think has to do with keyword density (or something), but other than that it's not some...

And Ed saves the day!

I don't even know if anyone has ever sold illustrations from C-C... Hopefully I'm wrong! I am wrong! These are the "most recent" sales from the illustration section. Based on the fact that there are only three and they are from (almost) a year ago, I'd venture to say they might be the onl...

As far as I know, the illustrations, photography, and video sections have been around for a year or more, but they are sort of the neglected step-children of the site. I don't even know if anyone has ever sold illustrations from C-C... Hopefully I'm wrong! As someone with a BA in studio art, I'd lov...

Congratulations!

If you are sure that the customer does not want an intro and conclusion paragraph, then I would just write a short note to Ed when I submitted the article for review. I know private requests often ask for things that are technically contrary to general C-C guidelines, like written in first person, a...

I wondered that myself. I have one that has been in "waiting" status for about a month weeks now. I'm not sure if I got paid for it or not since it was selected during a period of time when I got several sales. If it's still listed as "waiting" and never changed to say "sol...

Oh, another thing to consider is that the approval process for an image is much, much longer than the approval process for an article, although this may have changed recently. When I submitted images last year, I think it was several weeks to a month before the image was approved. Articles usually t...

They are either waiting for the money to clear, or I think it can also be sitting in someone's cart. I've had articles listed as "waiting" that never actually "sold," but I think I could still view them and I don't remember it ever showing as money paid to me. So that's a good si...

Just so people know, a nice, well written note can also get the customer to visit your page. I contacted a writer with an article I thought was appropriate for her request. She didn't by the article I suggested, but did purchase another about a different topic shortly after. I don't think she would ...

Can you just put a note in your short summary that there is an illustration to match the article if the customer is interested? I'm not sure how many customers are interested in also purchasing comics and cartoons, especially if it makes the article more expensive. You could try leaving a note for E...

I can't help it I have to ask...what was so funny that you laughed at this post? Mostly it was funny because I was awake for way too long, but the idea of a store that specializes in shoes and flowers is kind of weird. It's just a funny combination. There was a store where I live that used to sell ...
