Tired of getting pennies for your writing, and want to delve into the realm of real freelance writing? Constant-Content could be the ticket for you! Constant-Content is different from most other writing sites. Here you can really get paid to write about what you want to, much like Associated Content.

However, the prices are much tastier. While you may be doing good to squeeze $2.00 out of Associated Content’s wallet – Constant-Content could provide much more substantial revenue. There’s plenty of websites that promise you will make money writing online, but they don’t tell you how hard it is.

Page views are residual income, but many people will make mere pennies doing it. It’s far from the work from home jobs that everyone dreams of. Constant-Content doesn’t offer any recurring income, but think of them more as a ‘real estate agent’ of sorts. They provide a writing market place for you to sell your articles online. This can lead to big profits if you know what people want to purchase.

Webmasters, and ezine marketers are looking to purchase content that will make their website succeed. They want original, SEO rich, interesting, content that people will keep coming back to read! Many of them buy hundreds of articles just to keep traffic rolling in. Some of these people produce hundreds of websites, and don’t have time to write for all of them. This is where you come in. A freelance or ghost writer can either bid for online jobs on places like ifreelance or find other ways to sell their work.

CC allows you to sell your work as usage, unique, or full rights. These are all three different, so consider carefully how you want your work to be used!

Usage ($5 and up) – You will have to sell your articles for much less, because they are not original. However, by selling under this license you are allowed to publish your work elsewhere! This means you could first publish on AC for upfront payment, and then send it to Constant Content to be sold for additional licenses. You could even advertise these articles on your website or submit to publications. You can submit to AC last, but keep in mind they will not give upfront payment review unless they are first.

Unique ($15 and up) – Just like the name implies, this article will be sold once. You don’t have additional opportunities to make money, but this will make your writing more valuable. You will be able to sell for a higher prices, because the webmaster knows only they have this content. Original content is important, because Google thinks it’s important. This will give your buyer a higher page rank, and ultimately make them more money.

Full Rights ( $45 and up) – This is the most expensive license. Just like the unique license you will not be able to sell this same piece to anybody else. However, under this agreement you are acting as a paid ghost writer. This means you hand over all rights to the purchaser. This means that they can resell your work, remove your name from it, and even edit it as they see fit.

Your prices may be different depending on a lot of factors. Different articles may sell faster or slower – if you want
to make money quicker you might adjust your pricing accordingly. Beware of undervaluing yourself, or selling sub-par merchandise. If you develop a reputation for delivering less than desirable services it might take a long time for it to go away.

Constant-Content requires a firm command of the English language. If English is not your first language, or you just plain are not friends with grammar you may need a proofreader. This can be a low cost to even free service. I’m working with both kinds right now to determine what’s the best approach.

The only problem with a paid service is the possibility of your article not selling. If you don’t find a buyer then you will be out the money on the deal.

ArticleDoctor.net is fairly thorough, and will offer you tips to improve your writing. They’re the paid service I’m using. They will proofread your article for $2.99 + a half a cent per word. Which is pretty fair pricing. If you want a cheap professional proofreading service they’re the way to go. I sent them a couple of articles, and got some nice feedback.

If you want above average help, minus the above average price tag you might try to hire a freelancer. This will of course up your project expenses, but could make you more money in the long run if your grammar really needs help. If you negotiate long term work with them they may be willing to proof your articles for much cheaper than a one off service like Article Doctor.

Additionally, if you want to start off with a totally free proofreading service, I’m trying one of those out too! Puffread is a site where people can go to get their work read by professional proofers to the tune of zero dollars. They offer these services on a kind of self-promotion, portfolio examples, and hope you’ll pay for my services later type of basis. You can even get your work read by more than one person for an extra thorough conclusion.
