I think you've still got a relatively good chance of doing well if you're only selling usage and unique rights. The large majority of my sales have been for usage and unique rights, with only a handful of full rights. That's partly as a lot of the usage ones are reprints anyway, and partly as I'm no...

Wow, well done, Word Gypsy!

Thanks. I've been busy with lots of other things the last few months (other work, moving house and wedding plans), so haven't been on so much, but it's really good to see everyone thriving on CC. Glad the lack of notifications isn't just me. I appear to have sold another since my last post, which is...

Is there a problem with the email notifications at the moment, or is it just me that isn't getting them? I was happily browsing through an email newsletter I get when I realised two of the articles were ever so familiar and were in fact mine! It was a lovely surprise (especially as it's a newsletter...

I haven't had time to log on for a while, but noticed this morning that you're now the number one seller - congratulations!

Wow, well done! It is great to know that some buyers here are prepared to pay that much.

Yours wasn't by any chance the $600 sale was it? I'm very impressed with whoever sold the piece that went for that figure!

Yes, there do seem to have been load of new customers recently.

One of them came from me, via a recommendation to use the site, and I know he's found it really good. Obviously don't know about the others though!

Oh, fantastic, thanks for sorting it out!

Actually, since posting before I did discover that someone had left me a message on one of the requests and that it could well have been there for ages, as I'd not known and not checked. I felt really bad, as it may have come across like I wasn't interested :cry: So I'd love author alerts even more ...

Yes, that would be really useful. I've had the same problem recently - not knowing that someone had responded to my question - and I don't want to appear rude by not answering quickly!

I was worried about that happening too, but apparently there's no way around it. You could always post a message to your private requester to check and ask if they purchased the article and, if you look under 'Licenses for your content' it should say who bought it. Additionally, you could also look ...

Well, I only said hacked as it said hacked on the strange screen that popped up! All rather bizarre and a bit of a strange place to hack really, but I'm glad you got it sorted out quickly.

Was the forum hacked earlier on? As I got a strange Turkish Islamic Group screen/message when I tried to get here this morning! If it was, you've obviously got it sorted out quickly!

Thought this article about Wikipedia may be of interest - http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/art ... 58,00.html

Apparently, people keep changing facts, so do watch out if you're using it for reference purposes!
