[Jean]

CC WANT EXCELLENT ARTICLE ONLY WITH NOT EVEN ONE GRAMMAR MISTAKE OR YOU ACCOUNT WILL BE SUSPENDED, I REPT. SUSPENDED, I REPT. AGAIN! SUSPENDED!

I'm depress, but still not wanting to lose.

But I'm simply don't know what to do now in the path of online writing career. Pls help.

Hey Jean, sorry to hear your account was suspended. Based on your post I'd say your grasp of grammar is not strong enough to write for Constant Content. There are books in the library and courses on grammar and writing you can try to improve your writing skills.

If you are looking for valid work online that does not require a lot of writing skill you might try: MTurk Webanswers or perhaps oDesk.

If English is not your first language you might want to try working online in your first language.

Jean,

Just as with any job or career field, if you are not skilled you are most likely not going to get the job. For example, if you applied for an office manager position but had no secretarial or managing skills, chances are you would not be hired. No, writing is not "easy" if you are not skilled at it. Many seem to think online writing is an "easy" way to make money and that anybody can "write"...they are wrong. If you honestly want to improve your grammatical and writing skills, I would invest in some courses. Reading books is another way to get a firmer grasp on grammar, proper sentence structure, etc. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. If it is what you really want to do, don't get discouraged and be willing to invest some time into learning.
If you are simply looking for a way to make money online, you could consider the affiiate marketing or blogging route and hire authors to write your content!

[Jean]

Thanks everyone........you are all very nice people... I really do enjoy writing, just need time to hone my skill. But I need a job during my practice since my parents won't allow me to be in the house doing nothing.
Does anyone has a good system in making blogging and affiliate business? System meaning step by step.lol, yeah I know, this so not the place to talk about it.....

Well if any of you know how to help me in my online business venture........for God sake, do tell. ^ ^

I'm sorry, but I have to say again, you are all so nice people....no annoying people at all here.......

Jean,

I honestly don't know the first thing about creating a blog or an affiliate account (I keep meaning to look into that)...but I am sure you could find info online. Try searching things like "how to create a blog, blogging, how to do affiliate marketing"...etc. Are you in the US? If so, another content writing site you could try is Textbroker. You will have to be skilled to rank at a higher level that pays decently, but I think almost anyone can be accepted at a level 2, and possibly a 3...pays very little, but is a start anyway. It would be a good way for you to practice and gain skills also. Unfortunately, they cannot accept writers outside the US for tax reasons.

Here is the short course on making money on Adsense. It will be slow, but if you spend a few hours every day and treat it like a job you need to be at, over time you will build up a nice passive income.

1. Set up a free blogger blog and write a few short articles on one topic - you pick the topic. Maybe blog about your events and sites in your town. Don't expect to make any money on that at first (maybe for months)

2. Use the blogger blog to get an Adsense Account. (it is easier to get approved that way)

3. Go to Webanswers, sign up for an account, ADD your ADSENSE ID, and start asking and answering questions. Do hundreds of good posts.

4. Go to some of the bookmarking sites and the Tops site I list on my blog that offer Adsense. Sign up, insert adsense, and start bookmarking like crazy. Bookmark your blog, and bookmark other good information you find on the web (like my blog LOL)

5. Go get articles that you can legally republish off Bukisa or other article directories. Put them on your blog to attract traffic.

6. Never click on your own ads.

None of what I suggest involves much writing, and there will be no one checking your grammar. It will however be excellent practice to make you more comfortable writing.

Watch your Adsense earnings grow and keep your parents happy. The best part of this plan is you will be creating web real estate you own and that will pay you over and over for many years to come. Good luck.

Damn this forum is so cool. People here are nice. It is an honor to have jadedragon himself answering my question, let alone gives me a lifetime planning! Yes, I know you Jadedragon, from your website that leaded me to CC. You're like one of the legends in CC ^ ^

I am giving it a try on your method, jadedragon. My aim is just merely 600 dollars monthly is enough......

And thank you Aprilk10 for sparing some time answering my question, and no, I'm not a U.S. citizen......

[Jean]

Oh and this method, how long roughly does it take to get 600 dollars income if i put a full commitment for 30 days, with 24/7 online ? three months? more?

[jadedragon]

I'm just learning along with everyone else. I don't work online full time - more of a hobby actually. I've tried to answer the question on my blog, focusing on Webanswers. Of course you can develop adsense revenue through other sites but WebAnswers has been the fastest with least amount of effort for me.

I have had the same difficulty as Jean. I recently submitted an article to CC and I was told that the article was rejected because it did not sound right to the ears of a native speaker. Now, I am no native speaker. So, I don't even know where to start. It would have been nice if the editors could proofread the articles and point out the mistakes. But I guess that would be asking for too much.
