Re: When to hold, when to fold?

Thanks Celeste, It's awkward wording and some comma misuse. But the first time it was formatting the spacing, which funny enough, wasn't any different from any other pieces I've submitted.... I guess I'll re-work it. I'm so afraid of getting booted off this site, I feel so lucky to have found it and...

When to hold, when to fold?

Ok, so I've had about 10 articles accepted no problems - no edits, just automatically accepted and have also sold two. I think I need to let this one go.... It's been sent back TWICE for edits and I'm afraid to touch it now. Should I let it go or send it back a third time? Is it just a dud? I think ...

Re: Where the article is published?

I've been wondering the same thing. I have no answers. I've tried googling parts of my article that sold but it hasn't shown up anywhere.

Question about spacing

Hi guys, I'm so embarrassed that I got a rejection for font and spacing! OOOOPS. I have a problem though. I can't figure out if it's supposed to go like this: This is the topic heading This is my paragraph, blah blah blah blah etc etc etc etc. OR This is the topic heading This is my paragraph, blah ...

Re: Newbie Question: Your Article Has Been Reviewed means what?

Don't be discouraged! You are able to review and edit your work and resubmit it. Read the editor's notes very carefully and make sure you understand exactly what changes need made and make them. After you have made grammatical and spelling changes re-read your whole article to make sure it flows fro...

Re: Share Your Milestone Marker!

This is so encouraging! Too see the number of articles listed compared to the number of licenses sold is proof that articles really do sell! I sold my first article this week so I guess that's my first milestone :D I've only been here for a few weeks, so here's to many many more!!

Re: SEO Software that Works Around Copying Long Summary

wow this is really scary! I was just wondering last night about the long summery. I put up two new articles and used the whole piece in the summery. I don't usually but thought it might be good for sales. Now I wish I hadn't! So, when a client comes on CC to purchase an article they don't get to rea...

Re: Need encouragement

WOW I am just so pleased and encouraged by you all. I talked to my hubby and we decided I should 'go to work' one night a week outside the house. I am a stay at home mom and the time away is good for fresh thoughts and getting my space. So here's to writing and growing my portfolio! Thanks everyone ...

Need encouragement

Hi everyone, I'm not here to beg for pity or praise! I just feel discouraged. I've got five articles up now, and they get a lot of hits but no sales. I can't help but think that's because the topics are good but the writing is not. Good enough to click on, but not good enough to buy. How many clicks...
