Writing for Constant Content – Just Got Better!
I’ve been writing for Constant-Content.com since January 2006. Recently, Constant-Content added what it calls “writers pools” to the mix. These pools are for writing specific types of content such as press releases, blog posts, or even ebooks. You have to apply to join a pool. Once accepted, you will be eligible for these special projects.
While customers will continue issuing public requests for articles, they will now have writers pools for specialized projects – and these pools are currently quite small. For example, the Press Release pool has just 11 writers listed (and one of those is a test account). Like the regular request system, customers can issue private requests via the writers pool. If you’re not listed in the pool, you could be missing out! When a request goes out to the pool, each writer has the opportunity to “claim” it. This is different from the public request system. Whoever claims the article, is the one who is granted the project.
Here’s the notice I received confirming my acceptance to one of the writers pools. It explains the system:
Congratulations! Your application to join the Blog Posts pool of writers has been accepted! In the coming weeks you will start to receive notices of projects being posted for this pool of writers. You can also check the Requested Content page to see the complete listing of these projects. When one comes along that you would like to work on, please feel free to claim it. When claiming a project, you are agreeing to deliver the project to the client’s specifications within the listed timeframe. Once a project is claimed, it is yours alone to work on – think of it as claiming a Private Request.
You can also mark yourself as “available” or “unavailable” for requests which is great for when you go on vacation or have too much going on. If you mark yourself unavailable, your name will be removed from the list until you mark yourself available once again.
Applying is easy. Simply fill out a short form with your background, submit a sample of your work (this can be a link to an existing article on Constant-Content), and wait to hear back.
