Constant Content

Hi all,

My November project to meet the "just do it" challenge was something slightly different. Normally, every challenge relates directly to writing and selling articles on CC, but I decided to make my challenge this month a project that I've wanted to write for quite a while. Today, I have launched a new ebook called "Sales Success on Constant Content", which explains how CC works, walks new authors through the submission guidelines (and includes a submission guidelines checklist) and explains how authors can succeed on CC. In the 30 pages, I have put together all the advice I would normally give to new authors, or my affiliates, and the things I wish I had known before I started (or that I found out the hard way - ie those dreaded rejections ).

Hopefully, this ebook finds a market, but whether it does or doesn't, I must admit it was a very interesting project to write. I thoroughly enjoyed putting this ebook together, something I had never tried before. The ebook has a different style of writing to my usual articles and it was challenging to write a larger project without making it boring. I think that's really the purpose of the challenges - taking us authors out of our comfit zones and stretching our abilities as writers.

I hope this post doesn't count as spam!

Hayley, I think it can benefit the new people. CC is an odd site in a way. It takes a lot of understanding and patience. One thing I think is advantageous is that I had already been around the online content block, so I had an understanding in a way. You still kinda get a culture shock when starting CC. If you aren't a grammar expert, you realize all your mistakes and understand you need to get your stuff together. Several people I've referred have quit but some people have done well here, and I am happy for them.

I think an eBook about CC is good. It's a learning experience for sure, and I'm proud to say I'm getting close to the 100 article mark! I try to point writers to CC, because I truly think it's an awesome site for buyers and writers. But, it takes some learning at first. As someone who makes plenty of mistakes, I think Ed and the staff at CC are pretty fair.

GL for your book!

Thanks Lysis. I really hope the ebook finds a market - I spent a lot of time on it. However, it was fun writing the ebook too, so I haven't lost anything if it doesn't. I loved writing it because I am so passionate about how good CC is and I want everyone else to succeed on the website too. It's just full of all the information I wished I had when I started instead of spending ages discovering it for myself. Any newbies out there who need a starting will find "Sales Success on Constant Content" extremely helpful. You can find it on expandingcreations.com.
