I know that I‘ve written about Constant Content before, but since I have had a lot of sales this past month, I thought it was worth an update. Tomorrow I will be paid $198 from this site, and that is pretty good, considering I haven‘t even written much for them since my son was born!

I also have another $60 coming to me for 4 private requests which are pending but probably won‘t make it through before payout. Not bad for a handful of 150 word articles! If you are a decent writer and would like to earn some extra cash, I would recommend this website.

Basically, Constant Content is a website for writers and those looking for quality articles. You can write and submit articles on just about any topic you can think of and once approved, they will be put up on the site for webmasters and the like to search through.

You set your own prices and Constant Content takes 35% off the top. They pay once a month through PayPal, and accept people from anywhere in the world. There is a referral program as well, and as I have noticed that only one of my referrals has sold anything, I thought that this would be a good time to offer some tips.

- Try to build up a library of your work. I currently have 60 articles on the site and wrote most of those a month ago, before my son was born. If you write consistently, you will be able to take a break later on and continue to earn on previous articles.

- Don‘t undersell yourself. I see some articles going for $2 or $5, which is really low. While you might sell fast at those prices, wouldn‘t it be better to sell one article at $40 instead of twenty at $2?

- Write a variety. I have recently sold articles on parenting, saving money, credit tips and holiday destinations. By writing over a wide variety of themes, I have expanded my audience and am probably earning more than those who stick to just one area.

- Check the Recent Requests Section. There are public and private requests, although you probably won‘t get private ones until you are fairly well established. Writing articles specifically for requests doesn‘t guarantee that you will sell them, but it ups your chances.

- Make sure you write high quality articles. The editors are very strict and many people get discouraged when their first couple of articles are rejected and never write any more. Read the guidelines first and then write. Your chances of being accepted and selling are much higher if you follow the rules.

I hope this helps anyone who is currently trying to write for Constant Content. If you haven‘t tried them out yet, I highly recommend this website. They pay promptly on the first of each month, which is more than I can say for other writing gigs, and with the freedom to write what you want, it is a pretty sweet job!
