How many articles do you write in a day?

1 out of 268, wow!! I wish I could write like that. What I am discovering is that the things in my head are really just a bunch of garbage and I have to work hard to find something worthy of putting down as an article. I am beginning to realize that writing is a tough job and you need a lot more than a spell checker and a grasp of grammar to qualify as a writer. My name in helium is the same as my name in mylot. I will check out your articles. Cheers!!

I will check yours out also. You can write, just put your thoughts down on paper and then put them in logical order. After you have the main points then you can figure out how to add more to make it into an article. Good luck!

I have noticed that I'm getting better the more I write. Or I think so anyway..lol. I have one article on Helium that is 1 out of 268 that I wrote on 4/09/08. It was one of my first articles. I have quite a few that are ranked pretty good. Here is my helium about me page if you'd like to look: http://www.helium.com/users/418631 What is your name on Helium so I can check your stuff out.

Did you ever rewrite articles? I know for constant content they check it out pretty well and catch people trying to do it all the time. If I want to use one I've did somewhere else I just put it as usage, but I guess others are trying to reword it and they think that makes it new? I know I see alot of stuff about it on the web too, but I just don't think I could make it sound enough different..lol.

nope, it was all my own original material and i dont write for constant content or a/c because i think it is easier for people to rip off your stuff, just like it is here.

Who do you write for? Do you write for newspapers and magazines in the "real" world?

Well, I haven't heard back from Associated about the one's I submitted for upfront pay. I'm hoping they'll accept at least one of them! Constant content works differently. You submit your work and set the price, then if they accept it they put it on the site and people come to them to buy articles. You aren't paid right away. Triod, you are paid by page impressions on the articles. I wish you luck if you try any more sites.

I don't really have a specialty. I just write about whatever I think of, or if something catches my eye on Helium. You could go there and look through their titles. That might help. Here is my associated content link, if you want to see what I write about. If you do look, I love feedback, so let me know what you think. http://www.associatedcontent.com/user/194937/angel_sharum.html Here is my referral link also. If you don't already write for them and would like to, you can sign up through this. It won't hurt you in any way, and it will help me. You'd be my first referral if you do! http://www.associatedcontent.com/join.html?refer=194937 Good luck with your writing.

Hi, Thanks for the links. :) I have visited the links but have not join the site because I think it is not easy to make money from the site and I'm not sure what topic should I write. :)

I wish you all the best if you do join. I'm sorry about the referral link. I didn't know we weren't supposed to put them here when I posted it. I don't know how to delete it from the discussion, do you?

I'm actually up to 48 articles now. Two of them haven't been accepted for upfront payment, but even if they aren't I'll still have the out there soon. I don't really know that I have tips. I started out on Helium. That way I got to look through their titles and write about a subject already set up. That was easiest. From that I would think of other subjects that I thought I could write about. Now, I just write about stuff I know mostly, like I have articles about losing weight, my health conditions, hiking and outdoor activities, etc. I have also done a few interview articles with friends. I really like those. I have some more of them in the works now. Good luck with your writing.

Now that I look back from 2015, I think those who could write 40 or more articles for upfront payment are really great. Those websites no longer exist. The sites that accept articles now do not pay upfront anymore. There is no way to earn a living though article writing anymore.

Hope you haven't burned out! Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I don't get all my notifications and then I was away from mylot for a few months.

You could do, How to Lose at the Casino, as a humorous article...lol. Glad you didn't lose too much while there. Good luck with the writing.

Hi welcome back to mylot. Haven't suffered burnt out from writing yet. Suffered burnt out playing the slot machines in casino oh. And the worse thing is, for all my efforts in the casino, suffered a loss of $100. Fortunately nearly all the meals are free, redeemed with comp points. "How to lose at casino" doesn't sound like very appealing title for an article. Let me think of something else to write about!

Wow, you did good that summer. I would love to make enough writing for it to count as a full time job. Maybe in time...

I'm getting better. My payments are going up slowly. Everyone says I'm not doing too bad for my first month.

I don't write 40 articles every month. Depends on what's offered by certain sites and what I think of. Also, my health plays a big part in how much work I actually get to do. Recently, I've been writing more fiction than non-fiction/articles. It's alot more fun!
