Content Writing for Content Mills


WLE World 250x250Do you know there are good online content writing opportunities available on the internet. All of them are free to join. Most of them pay through Paypal. Paypal is free to join and use as well. You can receive payment into your Paypal account and if you have linked your bank account to Paypal, the money in USD will be converted to INR according to prevalent exchange rates and paid into your savings bank account.

If you are a good writer and can come up with original, interesting content on a variety of topics, on a consistent basis, you could be generating income in hundreds of dollars every month. Being paid in USD for your writing skills, you are effectively exporting your writing skills to bring in USD. I just checked the USD-INR rates to learn 1 USD = 62.32 INR. A 500 word article getting sold for USD 10 can fetch you RS 623. Not bad really. 

In India writers are offered Rs 15 per 100 words. So, a 500 word article may fetch you Rs 75. or Rs 50.

I used to write for Constant-Content. The experience was great. I wrote a few articles there, which were accepted and later bought by their clients. The revenue sharing was 65:35. So for an article which was sold for 40$ I got paid 26 $. But the problem with C-C is their tough editorial team which is very quick to suspend writers who do not meet their exacting writing standards. So when I was writing for C-C, I was concentrating more on grammar and syntax errors, than on content. So, I gradually stopped writing for them. Then I changed my decision and wrote again for C-C and my article was rejected for some misplaced commas and wordiness. I was relieved that I was not suspended. I stopped writing for them.Very recently I signed in to discover they had suspended my account without even a notification.
I was relieved.


Now I have stumbled upon another site called WLE, which encourages you to write. They assess your work and grade it 5,4,3 or 2. Obviously 5 grading means the writing is top class and acceptable. I have written 10 articles and most of them are rated 5 or 4. One article which was rated 3 was sold a few days back for 4.14$. There is no fear of suspension.

So, all I have to do is to submit original content consistently and when the content is sold I will get the money, according to its rating.
To aspiring online writers I strongly recommend WLE, to make your writing skills pay you a part time income in USD.

WLE is a great writing site



WLE World 250x250
I started writing at WLE in the last week of Dec'14. I notched up 10 articles and was waiting for results. Last week my first article was sold for 4.14 $. I am not eligible for payment yet but I know that as and when my remaining articles start to sell, I will make money. So, all I need to do is to write original content on a regular basis. The payout threshold is 5$.
The good thing is that I'm no longer scared of being permanently suspended. The editorial team here will see my work and rate it. Even if my work is rejected, I won't be suspended. I know I will get an opportunity to make corrections and deletions and re-submit my work. So far, only one article was rejected and when I re-submitted the article was accepted and as of now I have 10 articles waiting to be sold in the market place.
I'm happy about the ratings too. Most of my articles have been rated 4 and 5 and the one that was sold first, was rated 3. Ironic, I suppose but now I know there are better articles that will find takers soon.
Good writers aspiring to make some good money by writing online will do well to write for WLE. The guidance and support is great for enthusiastic writers who are keen to take writing seriously.and make some good money on the side in USD. The conversion to INR is possible as the amount reaches your Paypal account in USD, where the money is auto converted to INR.

Are you looking around a lot for a phone holder for your car ?



 Are you looking around a lot for a phone holder for your car that is steady and doesn't shake too much?

 Have you purchased many of them thinking they would do the job (as advertised)?


Would you take a look at iOttie One Touch windshield car mount ?
According to satisfied users this is the steadiest car phone mount you'll find! Some even use it for the dashcam app on their iPhone and get very stable videos.

Pros


-Best car mount for the iphone 4s. Usually car mounts won't accommodate cases for the iphone and it's a pain to have to remove it to dock the phone. This is great because it accommodates skin case, silicone case, otterbox, basically any case on a phone.


-When they say one touch they mean it. You need one hand to dock the phone when you get in the car. No more fiddling around while driving.


-Suction sticks, even in hot weather the suction has not broken or melted


-Price for something that is simple and just works, 20 bucks with S&H included is a bargain.


Cons

-The side buttons feels a little flimsy. If you are rough with your things this may not last as long.

Beware of Content Mils that don't Pay- Bubblews Is One Such Scam site









Bubblews, a short post content mill, has not paid me for months now. There are three payments pending for the months of Aug Oct and Dec '13. I have been sending them emails regularly and they have been acknowledging a few of them with the commitment to sort out my problem of non payment.


Recently I recd an email saying that I have violated their norms(Rule no. 5) by posting a pornographic or semi pornographic image . Therefore, they will not pay and my Bubblews account is likely to be terminated too. The letter is produced below:

You are Aware of Your Body, Mind and Intellect but Totally Unaware of Your Real Self

Submitted by conquertheself on October 16th, 2013 – Flag this news as inappropriate
Category: Ideology
We are body conscious beings. We identify with our physical selves. From childhood we develop likes and dislikes. That is how we are brought up by our parents and elders. We pick up likes and dislikes from our elders and peers.
As we grow into adolescence there are rapid transformations within our bodies and we become acutely aware of our basic instincts. We sense the world through our minds and the mind is heavily dependent on the sense organs to feel the world. The eyes, nose, ears, skin and tongue guide us in making discoveries and judgments.
We learn to discriminate by using our intellect. If the intellect is well developed the human being evolves into a rational person. If his mind is dominant, he becomes an emotional person. With these tools at his disposal he sets about creating the world for himself.
He does everything possible to improve the objective world but forgets to focus his attention on his real inner self which is obscured by his body, mind and intellect. The scientists are working seriously to improve the world that we live in. The subject that is supposed to enjoy this world is struggling to cope with the advanced technologies and is suffering from stress and strain. Another set of people, the saints are going deep within themselves to identify their real selves so that the subject, the individual is developed. This study or philosophy is called +Vedanta and deserves more attention than science and technology

  Here is the reply sent by me. I am likely to lose the money (more than 80$) and my account which has 

955 followers and

 more than 100 original short posts(some of them are long too)

"The image does not qualify as pornography or semi pornography. 
A naked girl in a non-sexual pose may not be considered porn (especially evident in art, nudism). It's somewhat technical but common sense should be able to distinguish images that are appropriate and ones that are considered pornographic. 

Pornography is often distinguished from erotica which consists of the portrayal of sexuality with high-art aspirations, focusing also on feelings and emotions, while pornography involves the depiction of acts in a sensational manner, with the entire focus on the physical act, so as to arouse quick intense reactions.Pornography is generally classified as either softcore or hardcore pornography. A pornographic work is characterized as hardcore if it has any hardcore content, no matter how small. 
Softcore pornography generally contains nudity or partial nudity in sexually suggestive situations, but not explicit sexual activity, sexual penetration or "extreme" fetishism 
 Hardcore pornography contains graphic sexual activity and visible penetration.
The image that you find offensive is artistic and may qualify for semi nudity but where is the suggestion of sexual activity or situation here.
Clearly , you are guilty of nitpicking and are trying to evade payment of my 3 redemption dues which have been pending for months now.
I have added value to this content site by my original authentic writing and you take one image and are trying to foist charges of obscenity, which is highly ridiculous.
Desist from such unjust and unfair practices and pay up."

My conclusions:
1. I wasted my time writing for such cold blooded thieves who want the value addition that I give them but are unwilling to compensate me for my work.
2. The mounting pending payments are withheld by citing such callous and amateurish explanations. 
3. The delay in payment is deliberate. The poor writer ends up writing content which is going to fetch royalty and new advertisers but the poor writer will never get paid dues. New writers will take his place and keep producing original content.
My warning: Do not write for Bubblews, they steal your content because they do not pay you after a few initial payments. 
Do not believe the testimonials, they are from the initial bunch who have been paid. Some, who are older and experienced members and claim they are getting paid are either lucky or lying through their teeth, I don't know.
