Comments on: Content Divas – Another Writing Opportunity? http://www.nojobformom.com/2009/08/25/content-divas-writing-opportunity/ Leaving the Rat Race for the Work At Home Pace Mon, 21 May 2012 22:37:04 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Sarah http://www.nojobformom.com/2009/08/25/content-divas-writing-opportunity/comment-page-1/#comment-10906 Sarah Mon, 03 Oct 2011 22:27:42 +0000 http://www.nojobformom.com/?p=1449#comment-10906 I have worked for them, too, and have nothing but issues. They were consistently late in payment and it required hounding to get my funds. And, it would sometimes take forever to get an assignment. If you're really desperate, I guess it's ok. They pay around $8 for a 500 word article. Not great, by any stretch and then they want stellar work for $8. I don't think so... I have worked for them, too, and have nothing but issues.

I signed up and was accepted by CD. I tried to get an assignment only to find out that I was, in essence, bidding against other writers on the CD website. I just couldn't bring myself to continue trying to get in on that “game”. Another thing that was rather fishy is that they copyedit with a requirement that you do a couple of rewrites. That is standard and may not have anything to do with quality, but with CD writing requirements. Also, writers must type over the required length of words requested by their client so that copyeditors can edit down to the required length. So, if the actual article from the client demands 800 words, Content Divas wants its writers to write 1000 words. It was just too much, for the pay is low, to bother with, not to mention confusion of trying to get an article in the first place. You are so right about Content Divas.

I have gone through the same phase so i thought it would be good to add some pennies to the topic.As far as the advice is concerned to write for a content mill you can join Textbroker or Thecontentauthority. I am personally working for both of these and never had payment issues. Though they dont pay very well like the Level 1 Pays you $3.50 for 500 words. You can make a good residual income if you are promoted to a more professional level.TB pays up to $25 per 500 words for there professional authors but requires rigorous attention to your writing skills. get in touch if you need any thing else. Thanks again and best of luck:) Hi guys.Filicia your blog is quite interesting.Cheers!!

Content Divas wants every article turned in within 24 hours and the pay is low. What you'll do is grind away the hours writing for CD for low pay rather. I signed up, but never wrote for them. Oh, at Demand Studios when you choose an article, it's yours to write. At Content Divas, not so, you can choose an article and be qualified to write and still you may not get the assignment.

I wrote four or five packages for them up through the beginning of March this year. At that point my mother (with end stage Alzheimer Disease) became ill, and eventually died on March 24. I put myself on Unavailable on the web site since I had a lot of things to take care of, and was not in the best of shape for writing web content at that time. In late July or early August, I tried to access the web site where I could look at available writing projects and discovered that I was no longer able to do so. I wrote to the company, and they said they had had trouble with the website, and reinstated me. I got a few emails after that, the last one having arrived on August 9th. I tried again today to log on with my user name and password, and once again found I could not log on. I am not happy. I have worked for Divas.
