Have old articles lying around? Most content writers do, simply from jobs where the deals fell though or samples that were never purchased. The good news is that you don’t have to wait for the right gig to come along to sell.
Sign up at Constant Content, and you can make some cash from those old articles without even trying!
Constant Content is great because you can choose your own price as the author of the piece. The process to submit articles is fairly straight-forward, and you can list your article in one of three categories:
1. Full Rights
The person purchasing the article owns it completely, and can add it to multiple websites, resell it, put their own name on it, add links, or whatever. Once an article is purchased for full rights, it is removed from the CC database so no one else can buy it.
2. Unique
This is almost the same as full rights, but the person cannot remove your name as author or resell the content when using it. Again, once it is purchased, it is removed from the CC database.
3. Usage
Someone who buys usage rights is paying to use the article as you wrote it with your name attached. However, they are acknowledging that the article can be purchased again and used by another person. Once someone purchased usage rights, the article can no longer be bought for unique or full rights.
Every article on CC is reviewed before added to the marketplace, so you can’t just upload anything. You have to proofread and make sure that your summary reflects the article itself.
Set Your Own Prices for Each Level
Again, you get to set your own prices for each level, although they do give you guidelines as to what the average writer is asking per piece, according to word length. In addition, if you want some extra cash, you can check out the article requests – people looking for specific topics. I personally haven’t checked out this part of the site much, as I’ve been doing quite well with submitting articles on my own. One of the features I do like, though, is that a buyer can request you for a private job, so if you produce quality work, you’ll continue getting work for the prices you think are fair.
Paid for Photography, Illustrations, and Videos
Constant Content also gives artists the ability to upload and sell photography, illustrations, and videos, so if you’re interested in making money with more than writing, you do have that option as well.
They take a cut of the profits, of course, but since you can name your price, you can account for this in your settings. I wouldn’t recommend writing articles solely for CC, but this is a great way to make some extra cash with articles that you’ve not sold in the past, for whatever reason.
