Some great advice here and to the point. Many people try to make their sites all ‘bells and whistles’ and overlook the fact that its the content that matters most.

Sorry for the delay in answering. I got the British Food gig which is awesome. I love it and it is demanding but hopefully in time, lucrative. I just enjoy being able to use a vast store of knowledge I have on the subject.

Good luck with your ventures. I love your blog!

Cheers
Elaine

Congrats. My ex-husband is the coffee writer over there. What topic did you get?
It was lucrative and a great place to work, but after 6 or 7 years writing on the same topic, I was really burned out. I covered one of their spirituality topics, which was even tougher to stay motivated on because my religion became work for me. I still watch the list for new available topics

I have just (succesfully) completed the application process for About.Com and have been hired., Yes it is stressful and it is challenging but I actually thoroughly enjoyed the process as it sharpened my writing and I was intensly focused throughout and am so enjoying building the site to go live. I write tons of speculative stuff that never gets a reply or advice and I found the editor I worked with during prep, direct, supportive and encouraging. Maybe I wouldn’t have felt this way had I been rejected who knows? By the way, if it is so lucrative, why did you give it up?

I think it’s a fluke, actually. I went into the forums and read a couple of posts on behalf of the administrators. They were trying to chip away at backlogs and restore site activity. I checked again today, on the 21st, to no avail. Site areas began locking up and not loading. My blog, submitted many, many weeks ago, is still dead. People designated to approve blogs also posted about their accounts being deleted off without prior notice.

This spells the beginning of the end, if it hasn’t already happened. If I get a few moments, I’m going to try to find another service.

Good points. Unfortunately nobody actually ever believes that people do get duped in freelance. Visit us to get the names (ids) of some people who have proven to be cheats and dupsters in Freelance.

BE is still largely on auto-pilot. Their blogmarks don’t work, their customer service dept has yet to respond to me months later, etc. On the other hand I found this site via BE so who knows.

I waited nearly a month and a half for them to authorize my blog. I thought they just didn’t like the format or something. I, too, have had a lot of extra traffic, but like most people I wonder how much of that will ever be repeats. Oh well, at least people are (ideally) looking at it.
