I’ve had a nice couple of weeks thanks to Constant Content! Now I’ll admit I haven’t had the time to write any new articles for the site for a while (although I have got at least five sitting on my desktop waiting to be tweaked and then submitted. That’s just gone on my list of things to do!), so my sales there have understandably gone down a bit.
That is, until about two weeks ago. I’ve got my account with CC set to email me if I make a sale, and I suddenly started getting offers for a few articles, as well as a few random sales. That was nice – and I think I accepted all the offers and they all sold as well.
Some worthwhile advice regarding usage rights
Oh, and here’s a good tip while I think of it – if you use Constant Content to sell your articles on, it’s nice to accept any offer for an article where the buyer wants USAGE RIGHTS. This basically means they can publish the article once and that’s it. You still own the rights to it and the article stays on the Constant Content site, ready and waiting for someone else to buy it too. I’ve got quite a few articles that have sold two, three or even four times now like that.
Sell your articles for $$ at Constant Content
It just means you can make an extra few dollars for no work, and you can still sell your article to other people. Why turn down a sale like this? It’s different if you are selling unique or full rights, because you won’t be able to sell that article again. Don’t price yourself too low on articles like that. I will probably post more articles on my blog on the subject of writing for Constant Content, because I’ve earned well into four figures on there now over the past couple of years. It hasn’t been a full time venture either.
A nice increase in article sales
But anyway, back to those sales. It struck me as bizarre that after some quiet months, which were due to me not having put any fresh material on there, I suddenly started selling all kinds of things. And they weren’t all on one seasonal subject either, so that didn’t explain it. It was just one of those nice times you sometimes get as a writer!
So needless to say I will now be digging out those few articles I have sitting around that need to be submitted, in the hope that I can make a few more sales. My work for my various clients has taken over from writing articles for Constant Content a bit lately, but I’m hoping to squeeze in some time to add some more in the near future.
Maybe you want to give it a try too if you haven’t already? Just visit Constant Content and you’ll be able to get started in just a few minutes. Let me know what you think of it! And good luck with those sales.

I’ve not had any luck on Constant Content….not because I can’t get sales, but because they obviously think my writing’s not up to scratch. I’ve submitted several which have been rejected so I’ve given up for the time being.
I know my style can’t be that bad because I’m getting consistant writing work and good feedback from my clients!
But at least it’s working for some :O) Well done!
You know it’s funny – I think there are two schools of thought with Constant Content. Some people swear by it and have sold a lot of work, and others really seem to struggle. I’m not sure why. Like you say, you aren’t struggling with your writing in other areas!
I have given up on writing for certain sites in the past and then gone back to them after a break and had better results. Fingers crossed it works this way for you.
I have eight articles on CC and have sold rights on four so my batting average is good. I need to write more, though.
That’s not bad at all Roy – and I’ve had articles on there for a year or more that have suddenly sold too. You can never tell when they will go!
I am new to constant content but I am from the UK, does this make any difference in terms of payment?
Thanks.
Hi Lucy! Thanks for your comment. I can most definitely say that payment is not a problem, since I am from the UK myself. I receive payment at the beginning of the month via PayPal, and they are always spot on with regard to timing. They never keep you waiting. There used to be a $50 minimum before you received payment, but now they will pay you whatever you have earned from selling your articles for the previous calendar month. You don’t have to request it either.
