Constant Content

Do authors here sell non-requested articles also, or does it only pay to submit requested articles? Hope that hasn't been asked already. Thank you so much for such a great site.

Warm regards, Susie

I have sold article both from requests and also when mine was not accepted, later it got purchased by someone else. I have not sold a lot by far, but it ALWAYS a great suprise when you wake up in the morning and see you have sold article, whethere you just wrote them or wrote them months ago...warm fuzzy feelings!

I've sold non-requested pieces, so it's certainly worth doing as well. It's always nice when something sells completely out of the blue!

Beaches and Rachel. Most appreciated. That really helps a lot. Hope we all get that warm, fuzzy feelings quite often.

I focused primarily on requested content for a long time, until I realized that writing unrequested articles is important, too. As CC grows, more customers just come on the site, search, and buy what's already there. If you keep an eye on what types of topics are selling, you can sell a lot of articles that weren't necessarily "requested." About half of the articles I've sold in the past week were unrequested. I just wrote about topics that seemed to be selling.

Southernrose, that's very helpful! Most appreciated and a big thanks.

Yea, most of mine that have sold, were just from articles that I wrote for myself, because I liked the topic or whatever. I've sold some for the requests too, but not as many as the others. Mind you, I write a lot more that aren't for requests, so that might have something to do with it.

I appreciate your help. Hope we all get lots more articles sold!
