Fed up with Examiner / myLot

Canada

I am so fed up with Examiner, they have reviewers that keep rejecting my articles, and they give these generalized feedback that half the time doesn't even apply to me. I have asked for clarification and they don't give it. In the new year when I look for better writing sites, I think I am just not going to bother with them anymore.

I can understand. I've written for them for about 18 months. The results seem to depend on who does the reviewing. And if you ask for clarification, you get referred to the style guide. Good luck in your search for another site.

yes the style guide is so annoying I need specific feedback not generalities.

I had two titles with them and they really did that with one. Eventually they told me they didn't need me for that title. Needless to say I shut down the other title. They are not that great to write for unless you make money for them. They are always changing what they want and not telling you. I feel your pain. I suggest finding somewhere else to write, especially since it sounds like you won't be there much longer especially if they aren't clarifying. Good luck.

yep as I said in my discussion, I will be looking for new sites in January after the scrabble tournament is over. They ask too much for too little in return.

@winterose I hear you. I joined examiner back when Associated Content was around and paid well. So I didn't do too much with it until a couple of years ago. I guess since I never did much and then tried after they changed the format it was a lost cause. I never made much on their anyway.

If you're not finding the results you desire and it puts too much pressure on you then it's best to find something more fitting.

I know that, that is what I said, I am not going to bother with them after the new year.

Did they bother even explaining you said no they really should open their eyes to something that could make it .

no they just give broad explanations such as don't use bold statements at the beginning of the article, but I don't have any bold statements that I can find.
