All

I just got the same email from WS:

Hi Andy


I was wondering if you can help.


We have been trying to get back on MSE to answer some of the communities questions but have been banned for a week.


Is there anyway you can find out from the admins why that is (we haven't been able to get a response from them).


Our username is: Writers:Share


Also can you write a note on our behalf to let the community know the situation here.


Thank you.


W:S

Hi ANDY597 ... if you tie the e-mail I got (post above) and the line I have highlighted in your earlier post - I think it is you.

But - how on earth are you meant to tell us what is happening at W:S, when a) they haven't told you and b) you are trying to find out the answer just like the rest of us.

Crazy!!!

ANDY597

Sorry all, but i have highlighted all the communication I have had with them and will make sure that I post any updates immediately, as Im on mse daily.

I have double checked my spam folders also, just in case one slipped through the net.

Regards
A

You have no need for any kind of apology Andy - none whatsoever, not as far as I can see - you can't tell us what you don't know - which is what W:S were asking of you. It is them we should be hearing from - via you is fine, but they have to give you something to say, and that is the bit that was, and still is missing. It's the same for elliemoo, who has delivered info to them to help - and got zilch response/info in return.

I have been told by my contact that they will keep me informed - but again that is 100% dependent on them being told the situation - just like you.

Computer system problems I can understand, sympathise with, and be 100% patient over - but why issuing acceptances or not, and paying what is agreed seems stuck is frankly beyond me - the more so when it is stuck against what we have been told was to be a week to week system.

Another day and nothing new to report. I have checked my emails, checked the Writers Share website and their Facebook page and still nothing.

I told you they were talking out of they're backend!!!! I'm only waiting for a pound i feel so sorry for all you guys who are waiting for more. Do you think there is any hope left or is this one dead in the water?

I am getting fed up of waiting now. I checked my stats on 20th May, 10 days have passed so I checked them again - still the same. It says I am owed £10 for approved comments and 20 comments still awaiting moderation, so potentially £30.

I mean, honestly, how long does it take to read and accept/reject comments. I can understand (but am understanding less as the time goes on)if they have got probs with the website, but surely they must have people reading the comments.

If we are not going to get paid then I am going to submit my comments elsewhere as I saved them all in word. I think we all just want to know one way or another now.

I did 8 comments on 2 May and they are still "Awaiting moderation"!

^^^LOL^^^ like it

On a side note, now this site CAN be a little tough but for those hard working article writers, there is a site you can register on called Helium
(biting of my own nose here, this is my little earner site but ahh well...) http://www.!!!!!!/ once you have registered check out the market place tab and there you are offered topics and how much you will be paid for a GOOD article, they can be tough so be warned, it is in dollers, so I just half the amout to get an average. Might be worth a little look about But I do warn you it can be tough so don't come crying if it goes a bit **** up, <--- being polite there

Sue

thanks sue
i've had a look at helium
because it's american though, do they tend to accept a lot of articles from english people, i.e. written in english style ?
the marketplace where certain magazines are looking for articles, they are all american arent they?
it looks a nice site anyway though:)

Hello everyone.

After realising I may be waiting for Writers:Share to be back up and running for a while I have turned my attentions to attempt to earn money online through other means.

I have realised that sites such as 'Sponsored Review' pay decent money for reviwing products on your blog and so forth and placing links.

Alot of these places need your blog to be of a good standard and to be open for at least 30 days.

I know alot of the posters on this thread have vast amounts about this sort of thing and I would appreciate it if you could perhaps look at my blog and give me your personal impression. I have only created it today but I want to make sure it has the possibility to draw some attention.

Any additions of posts would be gratefully recieved by me as I have a long way to go!

Many thanks.

PS. Please tell me if it is illegal to post a link to a blog of some sort, or advertise it etc.
