Hi everyone,
I'm still new here, and have replied to lots of requests that I thought I could write for, but have never recieved a response. Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong and not getting my message to the right person? Maybe somebody could help! Thanks Abby :cry:

Diane,

If you wrote to them on the Q&A and received no response - this happens more often than not. You will find that some of the buyers will respond quickly and others never will. Try to not take it personal, if this is the case - it happens to ALL of us, at one time or another. Dont give up or let it bother you in any way.

If this is not what you meant, then please explain more details.

Hi Diane,

Instead of responding in the Q&A to a request, try writing an article for the request. Write well, check for grammar and spelling, check again, ok... check one more time. Submit and after the article has been approved send the requester a message in Q&A that you've written an article for the request and include the link to the article. One last thing, writing for public requests requires speed, so work fast, but always put your best writing out there. Hope this helps.

It's often better to write for recently announced requests if you are new to Constant Content. The ones that have been up for several weeks have likely been filled.

Thanks,
Ed
