Promoting your account

Post by Synleejm »

Hey everyone. Another quick question by me. Does constant-content, in any way, shape, or form, have any restrictions on how you promote your articles written on constant-content outside? For example, if you have a myspace website and you wrote an article about Brussel Sprouts. There is no restriction as to how you promote your article to be seen, correct? Of course, I would assume that if you give FULL RIGHTS, then you would want to stop that promotion since full rights have gone over already and you don't want to pass the work off as YOURS. Am I right? Any help?

Hi,
You can promote *links* to your content here, such as "Check out this article I wrote at *constant-content.com link to article*" but you can't copy and paste the text of the article (unless it's only offered for usage). For example, I'm promoting my CC articles via Twitter along the lines of "Article for Sale:_Title/Link_ (which is a link to the article directly to CC)."

If the article has been sold and published, then yes, you'd need to be aware of the rights sold. If the article was use/usage, then you could link to it in your portfolio or website as appropriate. If the article was a full rights purchase and your byline dropped, then you can't necessarily claim credit for the content as you've sold that right.
