I guess my challenge is to do more writing of my own.

and can help your own writing - especially those of pro writers.

after you post an article there, you have to wait until someone comes along who wants to buy it. Then Constant Content takes about 30% if I remember correctly. You also have to reach a minimum amount before you get paid. They do have a page on their website where you can bid on writing jobs. I haven't tried that section yet.

would need to write well to encourage use or sale of your article. Good practice perhaps.

And it seems as though they are trying not to pay American bloggers much any more either. They don't need to if people are willing to just let them have it for free. I haven't written a new article for them for a while, but my bonus for reads on the old ones they purchased from me add up to about $10 a month so far for December. Maybe something similar will start up in your area and they could say, "no articles from US citizens allowed."

were too busy back in the parenting days to sit back and really enjoy them. They are fascinating little creatures sometimes. And, as a grandparent, when fascinating turns into exasperating, you can always leave and go home. :)

Communati.com is where I blog most of the time. You will notice quite a few names you already know if you go there. I have made one click there since I started way back when. But there is a community feel there and an active Admin. If our sweet little community here falls, you can find some of what you have here by giving Communat a try.

but I've not been active there. I too was disappointment with the low number of views/clicks - oddly enough there has alway been more action on that front here. But I do not like the strange folk who "contaminate" this site.

there. I'm also at Associated Content, but, like you, am finding them a bit too demanding to try selling them much. I make about $5-$6 a month from AC without writing anything just from reads. Now, if I just put up about 500 articles there, I might have a nice little ammount coming in monthly. :) I just have this thing against giving them anything for free, but I guess we do it at blogsites all the time anyway. The difference is that on a blog site, you at least have a chance of earning a little from clicks. AC doesn't let us profit from the ads--only from reads--and not much even then.

I only make a buck or two on reads per month at AC and my last 10 submits have been declined. I have left them there, but like you, it aggravates me. Maybe we ought to just submit and submit. That 400 word minimum gets me though. I can easily do 300, but 400 just seems to stretch a bit much. I've submitted poems that are far less and they accept them. So I'm wondering, if they aren't going to pay for a piece anyway, why not just submit a piece no matter the word count?

BTW - Thanks for reading my posts.
