You can get paid with Constant Content by submitting your articles to the site and listing them in several different ways as outlined in Sell Your Articles With Constant Content Part 1.

Before you submit any content you’ll want to make sure you abide by several rules:

• You are submitting original content that is free of any grammar mistakes.
• Your content needs to be professionally formatted and be professional.
• Anything you submit should not be self-promoting.
• You have stated the word count.
• If you’re selling your article, it must not contain links.
• You include a summary about your article content summing up the general points or major theme.

When Does Constant Content Pay?

The site pays at least once a month, at the beginning of each month as long as the customer’s payment has cleared. Occasionally they will process more than one payment per month. This is done at their discretion and should not be considered the norm.

To receive a payment you must have reached the minimum payment threshold of $50. Upon reaching this amount you will be set to receive payment on the next payday.

Sign Up Step By Step

To get started go to http://www.constant-content.com/ and click on ‘Register’ at the top of the screen.

Now you’ll want to select ‘Author’ from the two choices you can make.

Now fill out your details in order to be properly compensated for your efforts.

You may choose a pen name if you’d like. Doing so is advised if you wish to remain anonymous. Using a pen name may also be a good idea especially if your real name is difficult to remember or spell correctly. However, I don’t recommend it if you’re trying to brand yourself as an author or writer.

The most persuasive reasons to use a pen name include.

• You do not want to be personally connected to your work. After all it doesn’t take much more than a Google search to find the lowdown on just about anyone these days. Using a different pen name for each specific genre of writing may solidify you as an expert in a specific topic.
• If you are writing about a generally gender specific topic and do not wish to endure any gender bias. You can use gender nonspecific names as well like Pat, Terry, Taylor, Jordan, Jesse, Jamie, Casey, Adrian, Alex, etc.
• If your name appears foreign sounding and you wish to appeal to American buyers. This is sometimes the case with freelancers.
• If you share a name with a famous person and wish to distinguish yourself, or maybe you just want to maintain privacy of your online business from prying eyes.

When you’re finished filling in the details, click ‘Create Account’ to submit your information. Next, go to the email address you signed up with to confirm your sign up.

How to Submit Content

When you’re ready to add some content to the marketplace or fill a private request you must first log in to your account. (Remember – You’ll want to follow the strategies in the PI Toolbox to make sure your content is of the proper quality to ensure you receive the most money for your work before you submit.)

Then you’ll want to look on the left side of the CC website. You may need to scroll down until you see ‘Submit an Article,’ than select it.

You’ll be taken to a submit article form where you’ll need to enter the relevant details for the content you wish to submit. The first thing to do is to choose a content category from the pull down menu.

Once you’ve determined the type of content you want to submit you can upload it by selecting ‘Browse.’ This will allow you to search your computer for a file to upload to the CC website server.

Follow the PI Toolbox recommendations for entering the remainder of the information below. Pay close attention to the headline you choose as this aspect is very important to how well your content will sell. You’ll also want to make sure you give a correct number for your content’s word count. This is frequently a determining factor in how much a buyer is willing to pay.

Next, decide what usage rights you’d like to grant the purchaser. Keep in mind that once someone buys Unique or Full rights you can no longer sell the content from the site. Basic Usage on the other hand enables you to continually sell it as much as you’d like.

Add a short summary to be seen from the online marketplace. This summary should highlight the overall theme of the article. It’s the article teaser that gets potential buyers to open the article to take action.

The ‘Content Details’ is where you display a portion of your content so others can get a look at the quality. You do not want to place the entire article in this spot, but you also don’t want to place too little of it.

A good rule of thumb is to place at least 70% of your content in the ‘Content Details’ space to give potential buyers an opportunity to make up their minds.

In the ‘Keywords’ section you’ll want to enter relevant one to two word search terms and keywords that relate to your content. This will help your content become visible during customer searches.

Select the check box if you’ve included images in your MS word file. This is a feature that not too many authors use. Adding images to your listing might help your content stand out and give it additional value.

A great place to go for free public domain images is: http://www.princetonol.com One other website where you can find more then 20,000 free photos to use in your artciles to add value is located at: http://gimp-savvy.com

Finally, choose the ‘Best Offer’ check box if you wish to accept offers and select ‘Next Step (Submit Files)’ to submit your files to the CC website.

Once the article has been approved by the CC support staff, which normally takes one to two days, it’ll be available in the marketplace where it can be purchased. Your content, once approved will remain there until it’s purchased or removed by you.
