Has anyone had any experiences with www.wiseorb.com ? It is a site that pays you royalties to write articles for them; they pay based on how popular your article is. I joined this site in early January and wrote a couple of articles for them. It is now middle of February and these articles are still "pending under review". I sent them an email and asked if there was a problem with the article submissions, but never heard back from them. I was wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with them?

I've never heard of them, and I'm pretty active in freelance writing circles. That sounds like a scam site, to me. I stick with Associated Content and Helium. They pay at AC isn't huge, but it's steady and they do pay and they pay as soon as your article is approved - which takes about a week. I've been paid multiple times by them.
Helium also pays and pays well. Better than AC. But their standards are higher and they don't allow you to choose your own subjects to write on.
Good luck!

Who do you drive truck for (what company)? Just curious, because my ex hubby drives truck, and I used to go with him in the early days, that's been a while though. LOL

We are leased on to Baggett Transportation. We own our own truck (it is like a small RV and has shower, bathroom, and kitchen!) and haul military freight. We have been with this company for almost 6 years and will stay there until we come off the road in a couple of years. Did you enjoy getting to travel?

I will check out Associated Content, I don't think I have even been to their site yet! I already write for Helium, and have for a couple of months now. I have managed to earn almost $4 - I joined in November last year, but my computer crashed right after that, plus my husband and I drive a truck for a living, so I don't get online as often as I would like! Thanks for the leads, and I will definately stay away from Wise Orb from now on!

I've never heard of them. I write for Associated Content. They take about 7-10 days to review an article. If they accept the article, they pay you upfront, into your paypal account. The pay varies $5-$20 depending on the article. You can check them out if you like. I really love the site. http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=15512
I hope you hear back from Wire Orb. You could always take those articles you submitted to them, and submit them to AC, since you haven't heard back from them yet. Just a thought. Happy posting and writing.

Sorry about it sounding like a scam. AC is great because they pay you up front, you don't have to wait until someone else purchases your article. I already belong to Helium also, but thanks for the thought. I haven't had much luck with Helium. I want to thank you also for best response. I appreciate it. I hope you find good luck with AC, they are really great.

I saw on another post that wiseorb was mentioned, but no precise info about it. It has been brought up several times so guess we all may need to go check it out.
