re: Submitting whole article

Hello everyone,

Since I read that Celeste places the whole of her articles in the sample box I've been doing that too. However, I haven't noticed an increase in sales and I've been worried about people copying them.

What do others think?

Best Regards,
Lisa

I've been posting the entire article too. I'm not that worried about people stealing it, but I've only been using CC for a month, so can't claim wide experience! I figure they're more likely to buy if they can see what they're getting.

Posting entire article

From what I understand from the current submission guidelines, we don't post whole articles anymore now that there are no free promo articles. The guidelines say to post at least one-third of the piece. I usually post about half of the piece I am submitting, and sales have been pretty good. It is only my first month, and I have sold 10 articles or more. I think you can decide how much you want to post, but it must be at least one-third of the article. Hope this answers your question!

I only post the full article if it is for a public request or private request so the buyer can see exactly what he/she is buying. With public requests the buyer usually has more than one to chose from so it helps if they can read the entire article. Otherwise I only post 1/3 to 1/2 of my article. I haven't had a problem with article theft so far...knock on wood.
