My biggest advice would be to read as much as you possibly can, write as often as you're able, and be patient. Every year you'll learn more and have a more solid perspective of what your plan is. Just try to DIGEST the information you read and apply the advice you're given (but ALWAYS consider the ...

ATTENTION!! As a round up of this thread, I wanted to tell you guys what I was doing wrong. I had entered all three types of prices when I first submitted my article. Then it got sold thrice for the usage price, so of course (I can bang my head against a wall, here!) :oops:, they disabled the unique...

I did that the first time. Checked both boxes and entered the price. That's why I am so confused. Maybe it was a fluke, I'll try resubmitting it.

Oh...about registered offices! Some of them do have registered offices and can be found on file with the BBB. One thing I always look for before sigining up with a site is contact info. If there is no actual physical address, I am not likely to sign up. Before you sign up with any site, read their ...

Ok, I un-checked those little boxes and this is what I got:

Unique Price [ ] No Unique License Offered
Full Rights Price [ ] No Full Rights License Offered

Is this a new feature, then? Malfunctioning, perhaps? What am I doing wrong? The CC support guys haven't answered yet, but I'm hopeful.

Yeah, I entered prices in the blank fields beside them. I think I'll try unchecking them to see what happens.

Thanks for asking this. I was feeling too stupid to ask more questions than I already have.

Something I forgot to ask: My dad asked me how these sites work or what their structure is. What he meant was: what guarantee do we have (as employees of sorts) that CC won't fold tomorrow? Does it have an office in Canada (Thanks, jadedragon :) ) and a registered business in that country? He's worr...

odesk is a good idea, but as with all freelance bidding sites, isn't the competition fierce? I'll probably sign up with them during my summer holidays. I'll have the time to devote to it. Congratulations April! I hope you do well there. WiseGEEK has a page that redirects international writers and as...

When submitting my first article, I checked the boxes beside 'unique price' and 'full rights price'. After they were accepted, I checked my article on CC database, but found only the unique price quoted, the others were N/A. Why is that? Should I not have ticked the boxes? Or is it that only custome...

Ah! Thank you, April. Some of these are sites I haven't yet tried, but a few others are sites that do hire international writers, but only ones who are 'native English speakers'. Like writers from South Africa, I guess. I'll try out all the other sites. Thanks again, April.

Welcome to the world of freelancing! First, I want to say that if you are thinking of quitting college to pursue a career in freelancing...don't. Even if you end up not directly using your degree, your college education will provide you with knowledge that will be used indirectly for the rest of yo...

Thanks Antonia, but I'm already seriously thinking about writing full time. I don't really have the luxury of time after college to think about what I want to do. I have to decide now and then stick to it. So, I guess what I am saying is that if writing articles is not something that is a feasible l...

Hi, I joined late last month and have submitted only one article yet. It's been sold thrice for the usage price and I'm really happy with this. I have been writing off and on for the online article world for at least a year- mostly to pad my measly pocket money. I'm thinking about seriously taking i...
