Re: I need an editor

I never saw your public request for an editor in the request section. But sometimes they don't show up there for me... I don't know why. I've always wanted to study Greek. Two years of Greek and three years of Latin are needed before a student could study the Aramaic language at my university. I fin...

Re: I need an editor

Chris.. I agree with you, English is a simple language in a lot of ways once a person can get the *rules* down. Languages like Greek or Portuguese are more highly inflected and can be a lot harder to learn. I can read and understand spoken Portuguese because it's so similar to Italian and Spanish (b...

Re: What does well in CC?

That's inspiring. Writing is a talent that people can have and not necessarily place a lot of value on it... because it's easy for us. I think figuring out a way to capitalize off of a talent, that may not come easy to others, is a gift in and withof itself. It seems as if there are a lot of differe...

Re: What does well in CC?

Hi Celeste... I completely see where you're coming from. I think it's a good approach too. Like you said, it's something you already have experience with because you've done the research on a personal level. It's much easier to write about an article we have experience on. At the end of the day, it'...

Re: I need an editor

I'm guessing you would have to write the article, post a public request seeking a writer to edit it for you and then set a fee you'd like to pay for their services. Hope this helps, I'm sure people hire CC writers to proofread or edit a work for them. Out of curiosity, which three languages do you k...

Re: What does well in CC?

Not a problem. LOL that's my first time answering a question instead of asking one! Also, try carrying around a little notepad and a pen. Whenever an idea pops into my head, I just jot it down so in my freetime to write I'll have a lot of topics to choose from. I find that when I look at recently so...

Re: What does well in CC?

Hi Jasper.. I've noticed that health/nutrition and computer/software articles do well here. You can see what is trendng on the site by checking for recent searches performed here as well as the *recently sold content* section. These will give you an idea of what is actually being searched for, and w...

Re: Premium Content

Thanks Celeste.

I can't believe I never saw them in the categories list until now. Were it a snake it would have bitten me!

Premium Content

I just noticed that there are premium articles available here. I have no idea how I *just* became aware of their existence because I've been here long enough lol... but I digress. My question is this, what are premium articles? They seem to be on a wide-variety of topics and a little lengthier than ...

Re: WTH? Request not Listed

Celeste: You always have really helpful advice; I really appreciate it. I remember when I used to write on e-lance and after writing for a few clients, they ended up using me regularly for well-paying assignments that I didn't have to *bid* on. So I can understand that public requests could lead to ...

Re: WTH? Request not Listed

Denise: I'm with you 100%. I think I'm going to stick to writing whatever I want and perhaps leaving the requests alone for now. I have written 7 articles so far and one was purchased the same day it was approved. Of those 7, two have never even been viewed by the client, one was approved too late a...

Re: WTH? Request not Listed

A hit counter to show how many have already been purchased would be a good idea too. Or anything that gives some sort of idea as to how close the request is to being filled. Writers here have such stringent guidelines to follow, I feel it should be mandatory for clients to close their cases if they'...

Re: WTH? Request not Listed

I often wonder if a request is filled before the expiry, does the request drop out of the queue or does the client have to manually close the case? I ask this because sometimes I'll see older requests for one article that are still there and between all of the writers here, I would assume that they ...

Re: WTH? Request not Listed

Hi Celeste, Speaking purely for myself, what confused me most was the fact that I happened to be logged into CC when the requests came into my inbox. I immediately went to go look at them on the request queue and they weren't there-- in fact, none of the requests showed up in the queue until the ver...

Re: WTH? Request not Listed

Honestly, I have no clue. Because I don't see how they could have been requested then subsequently written, reviewed and purchased (in a matter of moments) all without ever showing up in the request queue. They must have initially been submitted as public requests because I received 4 of them in my ...
