Deleted Request

Post by agossett »

Hi everybody,

I had submitted a couple articles to a requester for review but now I see that the request is gone. He has purchased quite a few articles, like at least 1300 or them. Usually I don't respond to old requests, but he kept purchasing articles, so I kept working on them. Now I have articles that can't be sold to anyone else and are of little use now...

Is there a system that any of you guys have or use to ensure that a request has been fulfilled before taking the time to write an article? Any tips would help, since this has happened to ma a couple of times now. Thanks!

Unfortunately, there are no guarantees.
You can politley ask through the message system request if they are still looking for content and what needs are yet to be filled.
Don't lose all hope, though, sometimes they come back for more and other sites may pick the article up if it isn't too specific to the requestor (and you could always pull it, edit to make it more general, and resubmit).
Good luck!

Thanks,

I think I'll do as you suggest...Leave the articles up there for a while and then just pull them and re-word if they do not sell.

If you are talking about Don who had requests for computer articles under "all content" -- he still is accepting articles under "All Content » Tutorials » Computers".
If this is not who you are talking about -- then I can not help you & GOOD LUCK selling your articles!

I'd leave the articles in place for now. Even though the request is down the person might come back. I made the unfortunate mistake of removing articles I thought wouldn't sell, and the day after I did, the person who made a request that had been removed came back and made several purchases. Of course mine weren't available. I put the articles back up, but they're still here. I'm not giving up though. After moving them twice I refuse to move them again!

Yes, the requests that both Don and Jason made are still active...however, i'd leave them up anyway, even if they are specific. You can always rewrite them later or rework them to be general and post it up too, just make sure it's reworked completely without any duplicate wordings within the articles.

Thanks, I saw the request and moved the articles under there.

Thanks for the help everybody, Don is a great customer and I was worried that he well had "run dry" lol.

Glad I could help -- even if you already "found" him! I've been writing for him a lot myself and hope it continues for awhile.
