I joined iwriter and tried an article. It would not go through and I realised I had misread the key word. I wanted to change this. There was no way to contact the writer as far as I could see. The support told me to write directly into the place for submitting next time. I thought that odd. How can anyone proof read and double check using something like Grammarly. Even the best of us make mistakes when we are writing and the eye does not pick them up. Of course, my first article was rejected. I know the person wanted "rustic kitchens," not "rustic kitchen" as a keyword. On Zemandi,you can at least email support and tell them you need to resubmit. They also send articles back for a rewrite when you make a silly mistake like I did this other day spelling San Francisco. That means you don't lose the assignment even if they get slightly annoyed at a repeat.

Meant to add that you can also ask for more time. Not as well paid as iwriter, but a much nicer and user friendly system if you are prepared to write content for little money. (It does seem to improve the more you write for them.) They also give you more time if you ask for it. I have done that several times and there is no problem. Add this to the fact that your article is seen by an editor. They make changes, but you get the money as long as the article is accepted. MyLot is nicer, because you write your own stuff, but payment is probably easier on Zemandi. I can usually get past their 20 dollar bar and get something weekly.

Sorry to hear that. I just went and checked out the site, I think it's paying quite good if you can write good articles. I guess that's certainly not a site for me, as I am not a professional writer. I still enjoy writing and learning in mylot, more casual and fun.
Hope you'll find a better website to work on.

I like sites like this one. You can write what you want and interact.

I think I am on some sort of commando mission with iwriter. They reinstated me and all I've done is email 2 clients for clarification. Today I asked client if he wants his order filled only by writers familiar with his previous request.
I'm a little more seasoned now and these are questions I should have asked before wasting brain cells on articles in the past. It's like, come on clients, a vague special request section is going to get you excellent texts? Seriously? Then I saw another order wanting a higher word count than originally specified. The reward? A higher rating...

Me too! I was banned, but reinstated yesterday. Went on, chose an order, but instead of writing it I sent an email to the client for clarification of his request "how to peek(sic) out a fitted matress". And also he wanted a longer post so I asked about compensation and more time to write. Another mylotter inspired me to give it another go. So we will see what happens.

@hema7213. Finally found article with subject I am familiar with, wrote it and got paid. That seems to be the key to iwriter, cut down on the research time. We will see, that was last week, haven't seen anything else this week. Will just keep checking the site. Signed in with Copypress today, passed initial test and now need to submit 125 word product description. Probably do submission tonite and see what happens.
