More than Constant Content?

I have question. Are there any websites like Constant Content besides Associated Content? I signed up for Constant Content a week ago, and after refusing two articles for grammer arrors, they suspended my account. I understand needing to have articles written perfectly when submitted, but to cancel my account for my lack of proofreading ability? And it's not like they were completely rediculous mistakes. It was one or two errors on each paper. They took my about four seconds to find and fix. Has this happened to anyone else?
So, I guess my questions are...
1) Are there any other sites like Constant Content besides Associated Content?
2) Has anybody else had the Constant Content account suspended for grammer errors?

Different writing sites have different standards and different levels of professionalism. People are paying directly for your work on Constant Comment, and if they are professionals, they want professional work only. If CC rejects your writing, then you have work to do to improve. In the meantime, it's more likely that Associated Content will accept you.

That's what I figured and that's why I'm asking for any other sites, also.

To put it more bluntly, you're not entitled to set the standards. Try raising your own standards instead. And to judge by your writing in this discussion, you need to pay attention to spelling as well as grammar. If you consider being rejected for a couple of errors as just picky, you're obviously not ready to submit your work to professional sites.

I know. Like I said, it was a couple small things that are, in my opinion, just being picky about. Grammer is definitely not one of my weak points in my professional writing.

Both these sites pay per page views

I had an article on Constant Content for a long time before it finally sold the other day and I was thinking of submitting several more. I guess I'd better check the grammar extra carefully.
Helium.com doesn't pay a lump sum for your article, but you get a little bit of money every time someone reads the article. They are not regular articles, just comments on the writing of others, or you can start a discussion of your own. It takes a little while to catch on to it, but you get to rate other articles and you have a page where you can see where your article or reply ranks. The goal is to make it to #1. Once you write your article, it continues to earn money for you as long as it is active. One of my articles that I wrote almost a year ago has earned me $1.75 so far since January. Some others have only brought in a few cents, probably because people tend to read the articles with a high ranking number and skip the others.
Anyway, go in and give it a try. You have to have a minimum of $25 coming before you can request a payout.

Thanks, but I've already been a member of Helium for two months now. LOL. I'm looking for something a little more substantial.
