Hello,
This is my 1st time posting on a forum and it is about articles I had rejected...........the first ones I turned in, so I'd like to find out what the problems are before I go any further. Here are the three:
Cabbage Soup Diet came back stating spelling errors and no amount in the usage. I found no spelling errors and I put 0 in usage which I uderstand is correct.
We could not accept your content, "Is Aspartame and Artificial Sugar Hazardous to your Health?" We do not accept docx file type. (If you don't accept word doc.s what in the world do you want?? ) Article titles must be properly capitalized. (As you can see - the title is properly capitalized)
We could not accept your content, "Treating High Blood Pressure and Chloresterol Naturally" --Once again, We do not accept docx file type! Articles must be placed in appropriate subcategories upon submission. (What is the category -- Health??)
Thank you for your time,
LizG

Re: new to CC
Hi and welcome.
A few little nuances with CC take a while to learn. For example, the .docx format is too new to be accepted since it hasn't been widely adopted by customers just yet. Instead, save your Word documents in Word's original .doc format and you shouldn't have a problem. Otherwise, a customer that does not own Word 2007 won't be able to download and use your article without going through a major hassle in order to open it. None of us want that.
Also, you must put a price in the usage field even if you don't want to sell for usage rights. A price of $0 in the field makes it free and I don't think that is your intention. Instead, put your full right's price in the usage field. That way, if someone buys it for usage anyway, you'll get the price you wanted to make for full rights. For some reason, it works the opposite for unique and full rights. With those licenses, you can skip them completely and they won't be offered unless you place a price in the field.
On the title, I'd capitalize "Your" as well as consider using the plural form: "Are Aspartame and Artificial Sweeteners Hazardous to Your Health?"
Hope this helps. I know it takes a little getting used to the system.
