Hi all! I've just recenlty signed on with ConstantContent but haven't yet submitted my first article. I must admit that I'm a bit nervous about getting it right. I live in a very small town in Southern Illinois with my husband, 3 daughters and 2 grandchildren. I just recently quit my job of 30 years as a manager/bookkeeper of a local business and am looking forward to having more time to spend with my family. Any suggesionts for getting started in the right direction with my articles? :)

Thank you!!
Connie

Hello, welcome to CC!

You're already on the right track by browsing the forums. You'll find a wealth of tips and information right here. Learn from our mistakes and our successes. I encourage you to spend time in the forum as well as perusing Ed's blog and viewing the articles that many of the top writers are putting out. You'll see a variety of styles, strategies, and price ranges.

Next, look at the "requested content" section and try writing to a few of those. If nothing there catches your eye, dream up topics of your own and start banging on that keyboard. It takes a while to "get" the system here so don't be afraid to ask. Everyone's helpful and supportive. Good luck!
