Ok, I have to brag!

I have to brag, but not about me. I referred my sister to CC last week and she wrote her first raticle on hiring a bookkeeper and submitted it for approval last Friday. I reviewed it for her first to make sure the formatting was correct and I decided it was a great business article and had an excellent chance of selling. Every day I checked her profile to see if her article had been approved and by noon today it still hadn't been approved. Then a few minutes ago I checked my status and saw that some money had been added to my account. What? I hadn't made any sales today. Then I checked the Recently Sold list and there was my sister's article! Approved and sold in a hour or so!

Congratulations Sis! And since I get 5% of her sales, happy days for me too!

I think she will do quite well here on CC. She has so much knowledge about business and that topic seems to sell really well.

Thanks, Celeste :) I think I'm more excited about my sister's first sale than I was about my own - if that's possible.

That's great for both of you! I love that you were checking her profile every day, how cute is that. My 3 sisters are all terrific writers although they don't do it professionally--I was thinking about telling them about CC now that I've started to have pretty good luck with my own sales here. Let's see, 5% x 3....;)

Antonia, hahaha!

When I told my daughter about her aunt's first sale, she said," I guess you're a writer's pimp now, hunh?" I thought, hey, why not? and immediately went to Facebook and posted my referral link for all my friends. Some of them are great writers so maybe they'll sign up. I can just sit back and wait for the cha-ching to roll in..... 8)

Yes, it is chocolate bought in Toronto from the Cadbury place. I know this because I loaded a semi rig full of thier chocolate and took it to Laredo Texas to be enjoyed by all. :mrgreen:

Yay! Once again I have to brag about my sister. Her second article submission was approved and sold in just a few days. I am so proud :) Keep it up, Sis :)

Congratulations to both of you! That's great. I'm still relatively new here, so I'm not sure if this question is gauche, but . . . wondering what she's writing about that gets snatched up so quickly . . . ?

Business articles, finances, bookkeeping. She's a certified QuickBooks specialist. She doesn't have much time for writing. I wish I could siphon off some of her knowledge to write about!

Psst, Debbi! Tell your sister not to use two sets of colons in her titles!
