Made $30 on two articles today

Unless they've recently changed their requirements, I had just added a single link from Onlwire's site to a free blogger blog as a one time deal. (check their FAQ or TOS) Once I did that, I never have to add Onlyiwre links to anything as a requirement .

Thanks. One other thing, any tips for deciding the headlines for articles?

For my first few I did this, for example if it was Call of Duty for the PS3: PS3 Game Review: Call of Duty

But, would it be better to just put Call of Duty Review for the PS3 ?

Someone would be more likely to search for 'Call of Duty review', but I'm not sure if the word order affects search ranking.

Thanks

For those of you that haven't purchased Reds ebook yet, buy it, lots of information that you'll find in there that you can't find anywhere else. To top that off, he seems like a top notch guy too.

Completely agree with this. If you're thinking about it, buy it. Without doubt the best $17 I spent, and it would be worth 10 times that!

Your keywords would be Call of Duty so you'de want those keywords at the front of the title like "Call of Duty Review for the PS3: Gaming Excellence Exemplified!"

This would be better than your above example. You want your keywords at the front of the title, but you also want to use the title to draw in potential viewers/readers. Make the title as interesting and exciting as possible.

But again, video game reviews don't do well with AC just as a reminder to everybody.

Hope this clarified

My Best AC just $8/Article

 

[LetsGetIt]

Anybody figured out a way to keep using copyscape without paying?

 

[redtide1969]

Yea, you can create a free blog at blogger and upload the articles to the blog, then copy and paste the url of the blog into Copyscape. This method is too time consuming though when you've got AC scaled up.

Good luck

Is it a good news or bad one? $8/article is the best of the best but your comment is not synchronized with what you got. or maybe I'm reading it wrong

 

[redtide1969]

@ LetsGetIt - Thanks much for the interest. What happened to your account?

@ firefly - I thought the same thing. Considering that I talked to a number of top sources at AC that shared with me what they're getting for upfront offers and none of them were getting $8 per, I'm thinking the post may not exactly be "accurate," perhaps it's a typo

I'm on the lookout for rewriters. Man, some of these guys are really annoying . Complaining that they usually write for much higher rates, yet when I get their rewrites, they are lacking. Got to keep looking though, anyone tried craigslist?

 

[redtide1969]

lol yea they are, and again, the first thing I say to myself is..why did you frikkin bid then??
But yea it's just part of the weeding out process dealing with the flakiness. You'll know when you've got the ideal writers, and then I do what I can to keep them happy. I give them little bonuses when I can, and I always let them know that I'd love to be able to offer them more per batch but my budget is just so tight.

That's true.

I got my first applicant from GAF e-mailing me more than 5 times a day just to ask ... when I need my articles..

after he keep asking that question.

I just replied, did you read my instruction and the 2 sample, than do it , and send back to me.

However when I received the result. it was hard to read.. seems they use a software to spin the article.. I have try if spin level too much , then the meaning of the rewrite would be hard to understand..

 

[buck88]

yeah many lazy candidates use spin softwares to speed up their job

As result you receive crappy articles and they pretend to be paid ahahah

If they send me spun articles, I don't pay them a dime and just move on to the next candidate :AR15firin

If they "pretend" to write decent hand written articles for you, then you can just "pretend to pay them" lol :biggthump


Also you guys, it's a good idea to put in your GAF/Elance/Odesk ad that you will not accept any software generated articles, that if the articles are spun you will not be able to pay them and they will be fired immediately. Again, this way you are covered in the eyes of the site and don't have to worry about not having to pay them for the spun content.

Red, do you know if book reviews pay well by any chance?

 

[redtide1969]

Hi Dodge,

Actually they do...especially if they're a new release and even more so if they're a pre-release. Of course all other factors apply like how well written the review is, keyword density and usage etc. But yea, they've always done really well for me mate

Hi dear, yes I tried Craigslist for hiring my rewriters. I hired one ad poster who was a CL expert, I was getting 5-8 reply a day per ad and some of those writers are still working for me. But keeping your Ads live at CL is a tough job, if you can manage your ads then you are gold

 

[redtide1969]

Very true...I've got a great new source for hiring rewriters that's totally free but I don't have time to type out an explanation at the moment. I'll be back later and post up about it. I've been told you can get some really great rewriters for less than $1 per article as well.
