Check some of the welcome threads for advice, read the stickies in the forums, read the author guidelines and extended guidelines and triple check your first submission. This is NOT your run of the mill writing site - this is about quality and better prices.

Welcome! I second JadeDragon's suggestion to get veeeeery familiar with the forums. This place is a GOLDMINE!

And be patient, with yourself and with the system. CC is a fantastic place with high standards and a great reputation. It's fantastic to be part of it!

Hi,

Welcome to the best community of writers and the best website for selling your articles. My advice is to immerse yourself in the forums, and to proofread your articles thoroughly before submitting. CC is a great website because we authors do not have to bid against each other for work, so we can form genuine friendships and help each other. In fact, you are more likely to see experienced writers here recommending that newer writers put UP their prices, instead of trying to undercut everyone else. That's cool and makes CC different to other websites that pit freelancing writers against each other. Customers pay higher prices here because of the quality of the articles: hence the strict guidelines and the need to provide high quality articles without mistakes.

I wish you good luck in your writing endeavours on this site.

Kind regards,

Hayley
