    It seems they have altered their pricing structure. I have received 2 separate payments today, the first for $2.90, the second for $1.01, the topics now have a "bid" price attached. Not sure how or who bids but this appears to be the fee to be paid, some are as low as $0.34 for lots of words.:confused:
  • Yes they changed the structure. Prices are different : some are low $0.34, some are high: $4 for one article.
  • 2.90 ? pfft.why. not a point in withdrawing that.
  • Basically the title is wrong, we can get more than 2.9.

    Hi
    I might try this site.
    Does anyone know what the percentage sign and green arrows mean on the list of subjects where it says status?
    E.g.. when it says 0% does it mean that they don't need any more comments or have they got 0% so far?

    Thanks
  • 0% means that anybody has started. Sorry about the title, now we can get paid more and less. That what not the case before. The site has changed a lot during the past weeks.

    I have been using the site for a while and have been paid through Paypal as promised, however I have noticed that more of my content is now being rejected. Perhaps they now have a bigger pool of writers and can be more selective, or perhaps my writing is not up to scratch? The payments do vary greatly now but I still tend to write if a topic attracts my attention, every little bit helps.

    Have done a couple of articles and paid for one. The second has been accepted, then rejected, now received an email to say it's accepted. Hopefully, will be paid soon before they reject it again.

    Do they let you know whether a comment has been rejected or accepted? Or do you just assume they haven't accepted it if they don't contact yopu.
    I have submitted one just to see what happens. It got an email to say they would look at it but have heard nothing since. That was 2 weeks ago.

    They first write to say they have received the comment, then they approve or reject, finally payment. I received payment for the comment I did a couple of weeks ago. Payment was something like 67 cents, my MakeTrace payment (together with Paypal charges) ended up somewhere around 27 pence. I wasn't impressed!

    I did another comment early last week which they have received, but heard nothing further.

    It doesn't look worthwhile doing the comments under $1, I don't think I will be bothering.
