Now That Ciao Is Going To Close Soon Need To Know Something

I think if you change some of the wording around you might be able to call it new work. Do you think that is possible? I mean like what we write here. Is this writing as in serious writing or is it just nonsense writing? I mean to say it's not what I would call call A writing like you would put in a book and publish and sell a million copies of it or is it? We are only getting paid a penny for this work at best. So how can this be considered real serious writing? The same with ciao? I mean they never paid you more than three cents for anything, so how can that be considered serious work? I don't know how it all works when you are a writer. I have no idea so I am lost that is why I am asking these stupid questions cause I have no idea. But I would think that if you wanted to protect yourself you are doing the right thing by copying all your work before it is gone that's for sure. I have no idea if you can use it again the way it is written word for word. But I would think that if you change it around a bit you can use it again. But I have no idea. Is there some kind of writers guild you can write to and ask that kind of question to?

I just got done copying my reviews from ciao yesterday. I'm at Helium to but don't really care for it, since they changed what categories they do and don't pay for. And making money there is mad slow, unless you spend all your time on that site. At the moment I don't know of any other sites wish I did. Stay away from reviewstream though. I hear they are bad. Are you still at compareby you? I still have to get my reviews from there, even though there are only 3 I think.

I know Helium allows it apart from AC. Were your reviews so long as 400 words? I have not tried CIAO. Helium needs 400 word articles and you need to modify your reviews if it is less than 400 words.

i would think you could,it's your body of work. unless there was something there that stated ceedance of rights after they paid,i would think you could publish it where ever you like.if they remove the active links,how would they know anyway?

Hi pyewacket,I have just came to know about a new site where you can earn money by posting reviews.I have not joined it yet but I have heard that they are paying 2 dollars per review and the minimum payout in the site is 50 dollars.I think you can give it a try.

hi pye, I haven't a clue about all those sites, but since Ciao is closing, will you be getting paid for all your work that you have put in on that site or have you lost the money? they should pay you in full, good luck in all you do. Bright Blessings. Tamara

I left Gather, but when I was there people would often put their other material up. Or they would put it on AC then talk about it and link to it. I am not sure if that is still the case, but it could be.

I know that it can be done on Helium. You have a good idea there, I hadn't even thought to submit them anywhere else. I don't know about you, but I was not all that happy when I found out that CIAO would be no more. I actually enjoyed that site!
