Constant Content

My name is Jester King; that is, of course, a pseudonym. I was told about Constant Content by a fellow writer some time ago, but until recently, I have not taken my craft seriously. My forte is generally fiction, but I have scratched by with informational articles for a different site up until now. I see Constant Content as a venue to write what I wish and pray that it sells.

As soon as I've posted this, I'm going to spend a few minutes perusing some of the "hotter" topics that have gotten more conversational traffic to see if I can learn a thing or two. I've already heard that only about seventy percent of what I write will actually be sold (assuming any of it sells at all). That being said, I suppose Constant Content is my desperate effort to make enough money to pay my end-of-the-month bills.

If you have any constructive advice, please feel free to share; I'm all ears.

Welcome, Jester!

You are on the right track in reading the forums. I've been here two months and I think I've read almost every post on CC. There is much to learn from both veterans and beginners here. Spending just "a few minutes" will probably turn into spending a few months!

Be sure to read all the writer's guidelines, FAQs, and tutorials too. My first two rejections were for silly formatting mistakes (font, and title mismatch), things I would have known about if I'd read the guidelines better. Luckily, if you are a good writer who can self-edit and learn from your mistakes, CC is very understanding about those foolish formatting errors when you start out.

Good luck to you We'll all be watching for your first sale!

Yo Jester, Do what Debbi said

From my limited perspective: Ask every question that pops into the ol bean. I write a bit for other sites and absolutely none of them communicate with the writers as well as CC. That even goes for the almighty eHow. Bone up on your English skills. I never went to college and now I am wearing out my wife's copy of "The Little Brown Handbook".

Glad to have you aboard. Take care. - Phil
