Catching up with the content site news
Hi. I haven't written in this blog for almost a year. I got tried of tracking and publishing my content-site income. It got to be too much trouble for the small amount of money I was making. I may start doing it again at some point, on a less detailed scale, but I have to think about that.
For now, I'd like to update what I know about what's been going on with the sites since the last time I wrote here.
Demand Studios
They raised their rates, but they are also looking for more substantial experience, credentials, and degrees in the subject-matter areas they cover.
Helium
They said they will be launching a redesigned site before the end of the year.
Media Piston
Shut down.
Textbroker
They raised rates for their clients, but didn't raise pay for their writers. It seems like a lot of the work has shifted to team orders. On some days, the open order pool is almost empty, although I guess that could change.
WriterAccess
There's more competition for orders now after an influx of new writers, but it's still a good site for good writers.
Writers Domain
A lot of new writers signed on, but they are still accepting more writers periodically. Easy work.
Yahoo! Voices
This is the site that used to be Associated Content. I really haven't kept up with what's been going on there lately, but I've heard some grumbling.
