How many articles do you have pending at one time?

Hello CC,

I was wondering if some of you can help me with a question that I have had for far too long. There are many days where I can write 4, 5 or even 6 articles when my business is slow. I enjoy writing, but I don't want to have 30 articles pending and lose my account because of the 3 strikes rule. How many articles do you produce a day for CC? I do receive edit requests, but they are always very minor.

Most I've ever done I think in a day for CC was 10.

I kind of gauge it by word count. I can do 3,500 - 4,000 if I have nothing else going on that day.

Thank you both for your answers. I was afraid to submit too many articles at a time due to the 3 strikes rule. With the wait time for editor reviewing, I was afraid I would only be able to write 2 or 3 articles a week.

I've submitted 10+ per day when I've had the time to write... and I am probably the queen of rejections. So long as you learn from them, you should be fine.

Thank you so much for your response Laura. I was so worried by hearing horror stories of writers having their accounts banned that I have been afraid to write often. Let the writing begin!!!

From what I've heard and experienced, the 3 strike rule is just there to get rid of writers that don't write to CC's expectations (I'm guessing non-native writers that are often on content mills writing for less than a penny a word). Constant Content's guidelines are stringent, but you do get used to them after time. If I have a big period of rejections, I usually walk away from the computer for a bit until I'm calmer and ready to attempt to rectify things. So long as you read their corrections and rectify them, you should be fine. Good luck!

I second what LauraGinn said. And I'd like to add that the errors that CC finds have all been legitimate for me. I felt a little stupid to have not found them myself.
