At least with this site, you have an idea of what you're getting before you spend money, which is priceless to me. Also, I get my blogs posted a lot faster than if I had to start with an empty slate.
So, I love Constant Content, it's perfect fit for my needs. I've been making purchases from the site since After the pandemic happened, they used excuses to refuse to pay writers. They still owe me my money.
Don't work with them. Constant Content is a great resource for writers. Not only do you get amazing support as a new or seasoned writer, but the fact that you don't have to drum up your own business is a lifesaver.
Constant Content will send you the work; all you have to do is write and deliver on time. I highly recommend this service! This review is based on my experience regularly writing product copy for an established e-commerce client, after being put in touch directly by a past coworker. It has been great! Consistent work, prompt pay, total flexibility as far as what time of day I do my work assuming deadlines are met, of course. A CC manager is assigned to our project and works as a liaison with the company, so that is super helpful.
I've worked with a couple managers during my time on this project, and both have been responsive and supportive. This has been a great part-time work option for me as a SAHM with a young toddler and I would highly recommend it, especially if you can get on board with a large client writing regular content.
I have not tried writing and selling an article yet, so I can't speak to that aspect of CC. I have a wide range of interests, so it is probably unsurprising that what I like most about CC is the relatively constant flow of projects on different topics.
I was writing for Constant Content for a few months and they always paid on time, until the June 15 payment, which apparently never happened. They said they had problems with Paypal and asked for patience.
Around the end of June, they asked for my name and bank details as they said they would be sending payments through direct transfers as a short-term solution to the problem. I haven't received any such payment up to now. They said they sent my payment but put in the wrong account name, so they had to wait for that money to be returned by my bank before they could send it again. Ummm only you can write a killer article in your field. Of course you will need to add technical things and maybe some better images.
They are always well written so adding my own technical facts is simple. I wrote an article which include one typo and two blocks of text in the short summary when there should have been one. The feedback was that the content was marketable, and I should make the changes and resubmit.
It took about two minutes so I did. I did. Nothing happened. I made a subsequent query and received a prompt reply that they would look into it. I made a second query after a month. The platform is great - really good idea. But there is just something wrong with these people. They need to get editors who are not fantasizing that they're working for The Atlantic. I like that you can sell articles you've written in a marketplace-like feature.
There's also a lot of jobs available all the time which is a plus, but only after you've worked yourself up more to have access to them when starting out, there's barely anything to pick from. I got hired to work as an editor for them and they were vague about details, then a month after it started, the work from the client company just stopped suddenly and our editing team was asking what happened and where our work was. The CC people wouldn't respond to us for 3 weeks, literally left us wondering where our job was or if we even had it anymore.
Finally told us they were trying to negotiate stuff with the client and they'd message back in the next few days. Another month later, they finally said the project was cancelled.
Yet another job I got hired for fell through with them after weeks of wondering what was going on client backed out and CC just didn't bother to tell the writers they'd hired for it. I dumped CC after that, they are ridiculous. I just found another similar website like constant content, it's articlesauction.
We have been using Constant Contact for over 12 years and it has been an excellence source to keep in touch with over 2, subscribers. I don't understand many of the negative comments. It has worked very well for us. And the customer service has been very good. They are constantly making improvements.
Their seminars are helpful. Having skills in editing and formatting a good newsletter is helpful. There are tricks of the trade but they can help you with that. It is the center point of our social media and on-line resources. Keep up the good work Constant Contact. Since they updated their payment process, Constant-Content has become easier to use.
There are many good writers and valuable content on there. They do need to improve their UI, especially filters. Constant Content is a good venue to gain writing experience and reach a variety of customers.
Be creative and write what you like; or submit contribution for requests. You can test the market; or negotiate your rate with a specific customer. My articles were approved, then one editor suddenly started rejecting everything and told me each time I was prohibited from resubmitting a different style. This all happened within one week. When I reached out for help, not only was there no response, but my account was suspended. I am a top-rated author on another site.
Constant Content is not accepting good content, nor are they constant in their responses! Tip for consumers: Do not use Constant Content! As a content writer, my experience with CC has been quite good.
There was a time when approval used to take more than 10 days, but lately, that has come down to 4 days, which is very acceptable. During the initial days, rejections were common, but I learned from each one of them and improved my writing. These days, only about one in 10 articles is rejected and it usually takes me only a couple of minutes to fix them.
So, I have no problem with the editors. Although most of my work is eventually sold, some articles tend to sit in the catalogue for months.
This is where it gets really good! As soon as you login to the site you are taken to your Dashboard. The second will be the open requests. Ignore them for a second and scroll down a bit. Further down on your Dashboard you will see two large tables.
One is for recent article sales and the other is for recent search topics. These are constantly being updated and are a great way to see what types of articles are trending. You should get into the habit of checking them often. The Dashboard is writer friendly, easy to use and you should have no trouble finding your way around. Your first stop should be to create a profile. Including a picture will improve your chances of many writing jobs as well as make it more likely for clients to hire you.
Use a logo if nothing else. Beyond that, just wander around and get a feel for it. As the name states, there is a constant supply of content on this site. As a writer, you can supply content in a couple of ways. The first is through Requested Content and the second is through article sales. Requested Content is found on a tab at the top of your Dashboard. This is a list of content pieces that clients need and what they are willing to pay for them.
If you think you would be a good fit then you can contact the client and submit an article. If you have an article for sale that matches what the client is looking for you can simply submit that one from the list that will appear. You can also tinker with the price after the article is accepted. Lowering the prices of articles that have been in your catalogue for more than six months is a good idea.
You can demand even more if you offer specialist advice. Experiment with your price bracket to find the sweet spot. You reap from CC what you put in. You can make regular sales only after a few weeks or months of work. The key is consistency. Set yourself a goal and stick to it. Three, five, ten articles per week—the more you write, the more you sell.
Content is for informational or entertainment purposes only and does not substitute for personal counsel or professional advice in business, financial, legal, or technical matters.
Guys, anyone registered at Insolvo platform yet? Got an invite from a fellow designer, looks pretty neat, but have yet to try it out Good and informative article. I just passed my application in Constant Content minutes ago. Hope the site meets my expectations. Impeccable, really.
The content quality is not equivalent to the cost. I say hire someone you know who is local; so you can work with that person to develop the type of document and level of quality you want. Then negotiate the fee. Good review of CC. That may seem like a low success rate, but I've found that you do have to give some articles time to find a buyer. For example, the first article I posted there 11 months ago finally sold a couple of days ago.
On the other hand, an article that was approved yesterday sold today. So, I'd definitely recommend it. Starting a Business. Business Names. Business Plans. Workplace Issues. Human Resources. It directly referenced a post from the Content Marketing Institute:. While referencing is great, the entire section was merely rewritten based on CMIs post. Compare the bullet points above to each numbered point on CMIs post :.
References should enhance your point, pulling a point or stat from the post, not the entire post in your own words. The information cited was great and from high quality, high domain authority links. This is a hallmark of high quality content. Ignoring word count alone — Would you publish this piece on your site yes or no? The fallbacks: boring intro, hard to read sentences, and the use of a passive voice.
This article needs more TLC before I would hit publish. Bullet points help with readability, but having bullet points consume the majority of each section is just lazy writing. The quantity of articles on this topic means that they can easily find a better article. And that pogo-sticking will decrease rankings even further. There are lots of places to add images, even in this post. Or some images of good white papers, infographics, ebooks, original research, etc.
I can tell that whoever wrote this article and maybe it was a small team that put it together has no experience or familiarity with content marketing. They Googled information on content marketing for minutes, and then wrote what they found and put it into this doc.
It should have personal anecdotes, stories, lessons learned, non-generic advice.
