I write for the IBM Midsize Program only, as I'm waiting on other tech programs to appear. It's just unfortunate that the return requirement coincided with a weekend. Articles that are not used can indeed be published elsewhere and I have published several in this manner, both on my own site and others. I write my articles in MS Word and save them before pasting on the platform. <br /><br />Hopefully, Connie took the same approach. In her case, she could just have resubmitted the article for review. Not sure if the system allows it as I've never missed one of these deadlines. Any other queries, feel free to contact me using Google info. https://plus.google.com/106205740069418569409Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898842353440217361.post-67066818767924473432012-10-15T09:36:44.819-07:002012-10-15T09:36:44.819-07:00My sister sent me some listings from this site.

I think you should contact them about your concerns, because they're most assuredly not a scam. I'm actually paying all of my living expenses on my Skyword earnings now, and treating writing for them as a full-time job. They have long-standing contracts with some large international companies, and they would not be able to maintain those contracts on a long-term basis if they were a scam site. <br /><br />Just to touch on your points, because other interested writers might pass up writing for them based on this:<br /><br />They have live help available every weekday for writers, there's a bright green tab in the upper right corner of the editing tool that says "Live Help" - if clicked, someone comes on and answer your questions immediately, and they are also very accessible via email at other times. I've even had questions answered at 3am by one program manager. <br /><br />I've done well over a thousand articles for them now, and have always been paid promptly after approval, on the first and fifteenth of each month, for both writing the article and for the residuals based on page views after publishing. I did have one article that got lost in their system, but if they don't pay for it, the writer stills owns it and can put it on some other site, so just back up your work to avoid losing it if something goes wrong, but if you've been writing online for any amount of time, you already know that tip. <br /><br />I agree the editing can be kind of slow, but they have been much faster the last couple of months, and it also depends on which programs you write for - each program has its own editors, pace, and pay scale. The news programs are quick - the evergreen content ones take longer. (I'm in six different programs with them right now, and would recommend any of them to interested writers. I was in seven, but one recently ended.) <br /><br />I can see where the rewrite time allowed would be a problem, too, if you take time off, weekends, or "days together" during the week. I write every day, so I haven't had the bad luck to miss a rewrite request. I also check my email several times a day, and they always send a rewrite request in the email. It's never a matter of having to log in to see if you have a rewrite. If you take weekends off or don't check your email, then you can lose work, so there again, make backup copies - if they don't pay for it, they don't publish it, and it remains your property. <br /><br />I have had articles they opted not to publish after approval, and even then, they never deducted a single penny from my earnings. They still paid the agreed-on amount. That part of your comment makes me wonder if we are even talking about the same site. Once it shows up in your "Total Earnings" column (There is no "To Be Paid" account at all on the Skyword site I wrote about above - is it possible there is some knock-off site with a variation of their name?), after the editor approves it, they don't take a writer's earned money away.<br /><br />Do you still write online? I can tell you are good at expressing yourself from your comment here, and would love to read some of your other work if you feel like sharing.

I believe they are a scam. You can write for Skyword and never hear a thing for weeks while your article is in review and your earings lounge in your account, a "to be paid" imaginary account, and then they will come back at you on a Friday and request changes that have to be made within 48 hours. You show up at work on Monday and realize you are supposed to make changes, but it's too late. By this time the "nice people" at Skyword have stolen your article, deducted your "earnings" from your account, and are off happily laughing that they got another sucker to write free content for them.

I did it initially just to pay my web hosting fees. Then I found out I liked writing a lot.<br /><br />Long story short, the fees quoted there are not ground in stone. After you've written about 30 articles with excellent ratings from various requesters. You are moved up to a higher paying status. <br /><br />I went from making $3.00 for 500 words. (I know now that sucks) to as much as $20.00 plus. You can decide how much you want to write for. I had some request really low rates. I simply declined their project and informed them what I would write for.<br /><br />Most were fine with that.<br />I no longer write there, I've moved on and now charge a lot more. I book direct now.<br /><br />I think a lot of the confusion on iWriter fees is because the information about the site is written poorly. <br /><br />I never had a problem getting what I asked for. But there are always people who are just simply cheap and want something for nothing. <br /><br />Many of which are Internet Marketers who really don't care about quality. So naturally, they don't think they need to pay more than a dollar or two. <br /><br />I also know a lot of IM'ers are used to getting articles written by someone who doesn't speak English very well. The costs are cheaper but the quality is horrible.<br /><br />I don't haggle and I don't work for cheap. At least not anymore! :) I write with quality in mind, every time.<br /><br />I would not recommend iWriter at this point. Knowing what I know now about the business and fees. <br /><br />No way.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406810696233530883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898842353440217361.post-66622847068824726602012-04-10T12:01:15.050-07:002012-04-10T12:01:15.050-07:00Being a brand new CopyPress writer, I don't ha...Being a brand new CopyPress writer, I don't have much experience with them yet, but I'd be happy to share what I've encountered there so far...<br /><br />After a rather confusing sign-up process, I received emails stating that I would receive my first assignments on a specified day. This day came, and while I received a couple of emails, there were no instructions on the client's desired style, word count, pay rate or form at all. <br /><br />Within the email, there is a deadline for acceptance, which I responded to in plenty of time (including a 3 hour time difference) asking what the specifics of the assignment were. No response from CopyPress at the time of deadline. So I have just lost out on my first assignments because of lack of instruction, time difference, and a very confusing process.<br /><br />It should be known that I have been writing for the web through various web content mill sites, and understand the process very well. So far, CopyPress has been a big question mark in my mind, with seemingly no answers in sight. Even researching them on the internet does not yield much, which leaves me with a bad feeling in my gut.<br /><br />Don't know if this has helped much, but I thought I'd share what little experience I have had with them so far.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05285175729615617284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898842353440217361.post-54199020380288969272012-03-26T07:43:13.160-07:002012-03-26T07:43:13.160-07:00I think sites like this are a good starting place ...I think sites like this are a good starting place for new writers, and as a fill-in source of income when work is slow on higher paying sites. That's actually why I started this site, I had a really hard time finding information when I first grabbed my keyboard and started looking for paid writing work.<br /><br />If there were more hours in the day I would apply to all of these sites so I could share first-hand information here, and at first I was only sharing the ones I had personally tried, but there are a LOT of them and only so many hours in the day. So, lately I've been going ahead and sharing what I find and what other writers tell me when they give me the go-ahead to do that.<br /><br />If anyone else has any information about this site, or an opinion on any of them, the comments boxes are always open, so feel free to share if you want to.<br /><br />Ooh, now have to go check out iWriter.L.L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15749766547652119516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898842353440217361.post-49048515818316655082012-03-20T15:01:10.775-07:002012-03-20T15:01:10.775-07:00These rates are very similar to iWriter.

For Writer Access, do you have an idea of the word count or type of content they're looking for? $5 for 200 words on something that requires no research is a bit more palatable than $5 for 500 words on a niche topic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898842353440217361.post-16182792117255252682012-03-06T17:06:31.717-08:002012-03-06T17:06:31.717-08:00Thanks for the tips, I will try this strategy.

Now, with the free membership you can only post comments on other people's posts. <br /><br />For full access, it's $5 per month or $12 per year. I never ended up earning from the couple of posts I got up before they changed the plan, so I didn't invest in the paid membership. <br /><br />If you don't mind paying and you have the time to invest in it, I'm sure it's a good deal for the $12 yearly payment, but it didn't work out for me.LJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215748665912288504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898842353440217361.post-19892980320857719092012-02-27T07:18:05.103-08:002012-02-27T07:18:05.103-08:00Is this site still operating?

I am an editor on the site, and moving from one category to another one is partially dependent upon how often somebody writes, as well as their availability. Quite often, there are more assignments than there are available writers to go around, especially ones that have to meet "last minute deadlines" to get to a client. As for filling out your profile and the pay per word, while it may not seem worthwhile to some writers, once there is a group of articles on a topic you are knowledgeable about, you can fly through those articles and earn a nice payment for the time you spent writing.<br /><br />As for approval times, on the vast majority of assignments I've worked on, you typically get paid within a month. While an editor like myself will approve it within 24 hours usually, it still has to go back to the client to be approved, and they have plenty of other things on their respective "plates" as well as approving copywriting, so if you submitted an article on the 2nd of the month, it would be approved by an editor rapidly, but it doesn't always get approved by the client by the 15th of the month, so you would end up getting paid by the 1st of the next month.<br /><br />If you have a consistent batch of articles written and submitted, it's nice to get paid twice a month. Anyway, hope this helps a little and gives you somewhat of an insight into the process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898842353440217361.post-86777067115791909192011-04-24T04:17:31.776-07:002011-04-24T04:17:31.776-07:00One thing I really like about Smashwords, is being...One thing I really like about Smashwords, is being able to check the page views, not just the eBooks sold.
