FWJ is pleased to announce a partnership with Demand Studios
As you may have heard, Demand Studios and Freelance Writing Jobs have entered into a partnership. In return for Demand’s sponsorship, I’m spreading the joy at conferences, this blog, and across the social networks. Contrary to the grumblings of a couple of writers, my support of Demand Studios isn’t a new thing. I’ve been singing Demand Studios’ praises for well over a year now. I feel they’re perfect for new writers who are looking for a place to start, and, also, an easy way for established writers to supplement their income.
Back to My Humble Beginnings
Those of you who have followed FWJ since the beginning know I once wrote for a website called “Write for Cash” before launching a successful blog and getting into the social media space. WFC was a lot like Demand Studios. We logged into our dashboard each day, picked the jobs best suited for us, wrote, submitted and waited for the love from our editors. I credit my clips from WFC for helping me land my newspaper column. Most of the articles I picked had to do with saving money and thanks to those clips, I was selected to write about frugal living on a regular basis for an area newspaper. I think this is why Demand gives me a warm, fuzzy vibe. It takes me back to some good times. It reminds me of my humble beginnings.
Writing for Demand Studios
I signed up for Demand Studios a couple of years ago, though I never actually wrote for them. I was intrigued, but didn’t have the time for any new projects. Still, I supported Demand and posted links to their gigs often. Some people question my support of Demand Studios, and I can understand why. If you look through this blog over the past few years, you’ll notice I’m not happy with many content sites because I don’t like the way they treat their writers. However, Demand Studios is one place I recommended to the writers in this community from the get-go. They pay higher than average content site wages, treat their writers in a respectful manner, and they have a strict hiring policy, which means quality content. I can appreciate and respect that many writers wish to receive hundreds of dollars for their articles. However, it might interest you to know many highly paid freelance writers also write for Demand when they’re in between clients or would like a little extra income.
When we began discussing a possible partnership I revisited my Demand Studios account. I felt I couldn’t endorse them properly without making sure they were, indeed, a good place for freelance writers to work. I’ve been writing for Demand for the past month or so, and I must say I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s exactly like my old friend Write for Cash, right down to the ..umm...interesting article titles.
If you’ve thought about writing for Demand Studios but wasn’t sure about how it worked or if it was a good opportunity, let me take you through the process. Really, it couldn’t be more user-friendly. Simply sign up and upon approval read the guidelines, pick your articles and write within the allotted amount of time. Yeah, Demand has a lot of rules and guidelines, but this also ensures clean, thoughtful, well-researched content. There are reasons for “the rules”. Demand Studios provides content to several different clients and articles must be created and formatted accordingly. They expect the best from their writers because their clients expect the best from them.
About Those Editors…
Now, I read comments on various forums and blogs about rejected articles and how editors must be biased. I can’t say I’ve had this experience at all. What I have noticed is that the editors at Demand Studios are strict. Because of this, I’m taking more care with my writing. My sentences are tighter. I’m re-reading my work and self editing. I lost a lot of that when I began blogging full time, and it’s good to get it back. I find myself thinking as I write.
Yeah I had to rewrite a couple of articles, but not for anything bad – I made some silly mistakes. I didn’t include my references, which every article must link to. This is something else I appreciate about Demand Studios. Writers are held accountable. They can’t just Google and post. Our editors want to know how we came upon our information and to provide links to our references. I, for one,appreciate knowing where writers find their sources.
Every writer has access to some stats. Our stats tell us how we did. We’re scored on our writing and our research. It’s also noted how many articles are rejected. Plus, our editors leave comments on our articles so we can get an idea of why we scored as we did. I know some writers don’t love this feature, I find it to be quite the motivator.
Payment is made via PayPal every Friday. For writers who appreciate the regular cash flow, this is indeed a perk as most content sites pay once per month. The process is like clockwork and it’s very rare to hear a freelancer complain about lack of payment. I only write a few articles each week for Demand, but I like that little something extra each week.
Why Now, Deb?
So now you’re asking yourself, “Is Deb only singing Demand’s praises because they have a partnership going on?” Well, yes and no. If you look back you can see I’ve been recommending Demand for almost a couple of years now. However, as I promised transparency, I probably wouldn’t have dedicated this entire post to them if we didn’t enter into a partnership. You know me by now, though. It’s very rare I do endorsements and sponsored posts. When I do, I offer an honest review. If something sucks, I’ll say it. If I didn’t believe in Demand Studios, you wouldn’t be reading this today.
What can you expect from this partnership?
You’re probably wondering how the partnership between Demand and FWJ will affect the FWJ community. I hope it’s for the better. I’m going to be attending conferences on Demand’s behalf to talk to you and other writers about the Demand experience. I hope to meet as many of you as possible and welcome new writers into the FWJ community. Consider me Demand’s Ambassador of Freelance Writing and Social Meida. You can also expect a Demand Studios “Tip of the Day” right here on the FWJ blog, plus first dibs on job openings at Demand.
I know many writers who invest several hours a day writing for Demand Studios. Many of them earn betweetn $2,000 and $3,000 per month. That’s not a bad thing. Again, Demand Studios may not be for you, but for the writer just starting out it can lead to an amazing career. I should know. A site just like Demand Studios did wonders for mine.
I like Demand Studios. There are some things I would change, but that’s with every client. But when I am in between clients, I spend two hours in the morning prospecting and then I write a few Demand articles. When I work at it like a steam engine, I’ve made some really great money. And the articles aren’t hard to write, once you get started and know the guidelines. It’s also good if you don’t have portfolio, you can link to the articles that are published. It’s not the be all, end all of writing, but it’s good for it’s there for: a few extra bucks when I need it.
I’ve also written for WiseGeek and I really like Demand better. I love the interface where it ranks me on the my research and writing ability. It also does tracking of how many articles I’ve written and how much I’m being paid.
I find the Demand interface to be user-friendly as well. I find the editorial comments to be terrific feedback for new freelance writers and will only further their careers. Thanks for your thoughts!
I love Demand Studios – I’ve been writing for them for nearly a year now and I have no complaints. They treat their freelancers like professionals and I find that the pay is adequate for the types of articles that are available. The good thing about DS is that there are a huge number of titles to choose from in a variety of formats. It’s also nice to get paid automatically each week, instead of having to invoice a client, wait thirty days, invoice them again, etc.
Thanks, J.
It was Demand’s treatment of their writers that led me to consider this partnership. I’ve been writing for the web for ten years and have seen many content sites come and go. Many sites lower rates and terms for writers on a regular basis. Some kick them to the curb for disagreeing with a policy or asking questions. A little respect goes a long way.
I’m glad you are having a good experience with Demand Studios. Up until yesterday, I was as well.
In fact, I’d had two good years with Demand Studios. I have written them much content and sent them countless new writers, because I believed in the system.
Last week, I had problems with instructions from a content editor. This is the first time I’ve had any disagreements with a content editor in two years working there. Using the help desk, I was given instructions which I felt jeopardized the integrity and truthfulness of the article’s content. Since it was an article for eHow, I feel that was a particularly important issue and I made both “Steven” and “Sarah” aware of how I felt.
As a result of concerns that I brought up with the help desk, I received a delightful letter from Sarah Me telling me that my services would no longer be required on Demand Studios. After two years of writing faithfully for the site, I was in fact fired because I questioned the questionable tactics their instructions editors provided.
That is not my idea of treating the writers with respect.
I’m having a similar problem that some of the writers are having. There’s no editor continuity. I wrote two articles, in the same category, with similar formats. One is approved and the other is rejected and the editor wants the article completely rewritten in a different format. I can’t wait to see how this one turns out…
I LOVE Demand Studios. They basically paid for my rent when I got laid off and I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have them. They are very professional and I like that we can pick our assignments. I’m a writer for Trails.com now too (a part of DS) and I’m loving it. Congrats on the partnership!
Thanks Kelsey and I’m so happy it’s working out for you!
I just started writing for Demand Studios and I love it. As a new writer, I also love the feedback from the scorecard.
Congratulations on the partnership!
Thank you, Sarah. I find the scorecard to be a great motivator. If my score starts going down, I do what I can to get it back up again.
I like DS. It gives me something to put on my resume and I get paid decently. I overall am pleased and glad I had a nice starting point for my freelancing career.
Thank you for your comments, Lauralee. I’m pleased it’s working out for you.
I applied to DS when I was just beginning to freelance. They turned me down and now won’t let me reapply as a writer. I’m pretty bummed.
Congratulations on the partnership! I work for Demand Studios and I got the lead from FWJ. I love FWJ and am truly excited to see this endorsement from you, Deb. FWJ offers so much to the new and seasoned freelance writer. I look forward to your Tips and interaction with Demand writers, others.
Thanks, Debra. Consider it a marriage of two great communities.
I LOVE DEMAND STUDIOS!! I have been with them for about a month and I could not be more pleased! This is my first ‘gig’ and I am so grateful to have this opportunity. For a new internet writer, this is a dream job.
Congratulations and Appreciation….

Congratulations to you as well, Kristi.
Funny…I was just looking into Demand Studios. I’m trying to decipher the rules and regulations. Do you have to be a US citizen to work for them? It sounds to me like you do, but they list an awful lot of countries in the country drop-down menu.
Hi Laura, you have to have a social security number or some way of being paid in the U.S. I know a couple of ex-pats living oversees who write for Demand because they have a social security number.
This partnership is no doubt a lucrative one for you or you wouldn’t be getting into it in the first place, so kudos to you. But I wouldn’t write for Demand, as they don’t fit into my business model. Here’s more on my take on this:

Michelle Rafter
WordCount: Freelancing in the Digital Age
As I mentioned in an earlier post, Michelle, we all have choices. You choose not to work for Demand, thousands of others are happy for the opportunity. I’m happy and honored to represent them.
In your post you mentioned freelancers as being “up in arms” over this. So far, this hasn’t been my experience. However, I knew before signing on the dotted line there might be some rumblings. So I entered into a partnership despite disapproval from certain camps because I believe in Demand as being a positive beginning for new freelance writers. If this makes me unpopular, I can live with that.
Thank you for weighing in.
I don’t quite understand all the venom. Both Erik and Michelle’s posts were bitter and, well, snotty. Why would I take their advice or sway to their point of view when they’re so biased and insulting. Thank you, Deb. You always have our backs and treat us with respect, even if you disagree with our choices.
Hi Tweety, I’m not sure I understand the bitterness either. I feel there can be disagreement without name calling or insults.
I’m hardly bitter. Why would I be? My business is moving along quite well. I do get angry when I see companies paying a pittance for what is the writing equivalent of piecework and treating writers as disposable commodities. DS specifically is well-funded and makes significant revenue, but a number of the other mills also have received tens of millions in start-up money. It’s not like people offering small amounts because they’re trying to start a venture on a shoestring. I wouldn’t write for such companies either, but at least understand that they may want to pay more if they can get established. DS is established but simply happy to keep the money in its pocket. From the DS writers who have weighed in on my site and in personally emailing me, they feel that better isn’t possible. But it is. I and Michelle Rafter and others spend a lot of time trying to show how to go after and get better business. Why be satisfied with making $2K or $3K in a month if you can do $5 or more with less time hunched over a keyboard?
Hi Erik,
Thanks for your comment. I also discuss the higher paying opportunities available to writers. I blog about the different ways for writers to find these jobs. I offer tools and resources for going the extra mile. The decision of what to do with these tools is up to each individual writer.
Not everyone in this community wants to go the higher paying route though. We have a policy at FWJ not to post any jobs paying under $10 or $10 an hour. This may not seem like a lot, but it’s a lot better than many of the opportunities available for beginners nowadays. If I could only post $1,0000 jobs, I’d certainly do so. I do this so newer writers will stay away from the work for free or work for a dollar guys.Sure I’d like them to go higher, but many won’t.
This blog was created as a way to show work at home moms they can earn more than a couple of dollars. I’d much rather they took a $15 job than a $5 job. There’s no denying we’d both rather they took $500 jobs but many of my fellow WAHMs have no intention of seeking these opportunities. Plus, these opportunities aren’t as easy to obtain. Would I recommend writers go broke while in between projects? No, I recommend they use a content site to keep fresh and continue earning while waiting for responses to queries and applications.
Instead of telling writers they’re wrong or suggesting they’re bad writers, I’ll help them find the best opportunities within their comfort zones.
I’m realistic. Content sites won’t go away. There will always be writers who want to work for these sites. Why not encourage them to find the most lucrative opportunities from among these sites if that’s the route they choose to go? I have always suggested writers use the highest paying content sites to get their start and supplement their writing income, but then to take these skills and use them to further their career.
I also hear from Demand Writers on a regular basis (and you can read their stories here as well.) Many of them do know the choices available but don’t wish to query editors or find private clients. I will always respect their decisions. Many Demand writers are journalists, copywriters, technical or other type of high paid writers. They’re using Demand (and other content sites) to supplement their income between projects.
I like Demand Studios. They treat their writers well and give them useful tools and skills to become better writers. The editor feedback is so valuable. I have no problem partnering with a content site that is a positive place for writers to get their start. Unlike other places who take advertising dollars from content sites, I’m not going to hide my affiliation. If being vocal makes someone question my methods or credibility, I can live with that. At least I’m honest with my community – and myself. After all, I worked for plenty of content sites. A site similar to Demand helped to supplement my income when I first left my job to become a freelance writer. Unlike other writers, I’m not going to pretend I was never a content writer or that content sites are evil. Unlike many writers, I don’t use a pen name so no one will know I write for content sites and I don’t decry them in public but write for them in private.
I find this situation interesting. So many writing sites are accepting sponsorships from Demand, yet I’m the one everyone thinks is evil. Why? Because I’m honest about my affiliation? I’ve been posting jobs from Demand for two years now, to say I don’t support them would be hypocritical.
There are good content sites and there are bad content sites. I’m proud to be representing one of the good guys. I’m sorry you don’t respect my choice, but I will always respect your opinion.
Have a great day.
Deb, congrats on the partnership! You’ve obviously worked very hard on FWG for a long time and I’m sure it’s been a labor of love for you. This has been a very interesting post and discussion. I also read Michelle’s post (which is what led me here). I haven’t written for Demand myself, but if it’s true that writers are earning $2,000 to $3,000 per month, that’s not chump change. I look forward to hearing more comments surrounding other writer’s experiences with Demand.
Thanks for providing your perspective.
Thanks for dropping by Denene, I hope you won’t be a stranger.
I think this is a wonderful partnership opportunity that just makes good sense. DS is a great place to pull down extra bucks, which, by the way DeneneWrites, there are DS writers who are pulling down $1000+ per week!
Sure, it’s tireless, eye-bleeding work, but the opportunity is always there and plenty of DS writers are pulling down respectable home-based incomes, which is a gift from God in this economy. The weekly payments via Paypal are just icing on the cake.
Thanks, Ryan.
Deb: Re: my “up in arms” comments – there’s been a pretty hot debate about this going on today over on the message boards on FreelanceSuccess.com, (which is subscription based or I’d include a link, sorry). And another freelance writing blogger, Erik Sherman, who I think you know, has been laying bare the problems he see with writing for content aggregators on a regular basis on his blog, Erik Sherman’s WriterBiz, http://www.eriksherman.com/WriterBiz/.
I think we’re all in agreement that there are many different business models freelancer writers can follow – it’s not a one-size fits all profession.
Michelle Rafter
My only gripe is that Demand doesn’t let you reapply. I first signed up a long time ago, when my writing wasn’t that great… Now, I want a second chance, because I’ve gotten so much better, but they won’t let me try again.
Hi Heidi,
I know other writer who HAVE reapplied. They either waited about six months or they used a separate email address. See if that works for you.
Congrats on striking a deal. Hope that both parties have an experience that exceeds expectations.
I read the slightly critical post above. Even broke my multi-year vow of silence on rate-related issues to blog about it: http://tinyurl.com/n2ull6
Take care,

Replied backatcha, Carson.Don’t be a stranger.
After reading this I promptly raced over to Demand Studios to apply, only to discover that it’s only available to US citizens…
What’s a poor South African freelance writer to do?
I’m not sure why Demand Studios doesn’t accept overseas writers. I’ll ask and see if I can shed a little light on it.
Thanks. It would be great to hear why it’s US only, and if there are any plans to accept foreign members in the future.
In this day and age of sites like Paypal it can’t really be a payment issue.
ok, I’m confused. went to demand, got accepted, and went to look at the available assignments. they are ALL highly technical, and way outside my areas of expertis — things like specialized DIY projects, software programming, etc.
my specialities are things like autism, homeschooling, fundraising, science education, hands-on projects for kids…
am I missing something obvious??
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
I know – so many of the article topics are way beyond my realm of expertise. I always manage to find something though. There are new topics added regularly so I hope it won’t deter you, I just know you’ll find something you can write about.
Hi, Lisa. I thought that was all there was, too, to begin with, but when I did a search under my areas of expertise, I found a plethora of them available. You can also narrow down your search to a specific type and pay for the articles. I typically write $15 articles and search under terms for my expertise. I bet if you try that, you will find many article titles for which you can write.
Hi Deb, I’m a freelance writer from India. Though I never posted any comment over here, I must admit I’ve been closely following your blog, and have really found it to be one of the most warm, helpful and friendly blogs aimed at freelance writers of all genres and levels. Kudos a lot to you for your awesome job!!
As regards DS, hearing so many nice things about the site from you and other freelance writers makes it damn tempting for you to wish you could write for them, and equally sad when you find you can’t, as you’re not from the US (or don’t own an SSN). My query here is, even if I’m not a US citizen, is there some legal way out so that I might get a US SSN, which might enable me to write for the wonderful DS?!!
Also, as you seem to be in nice terms with the DS fellows (way nicer than we guys at least), it would have been real nice if you could have asked them to consider the Non-US writers too (only those who fairly qualify the strict DS terms and writing tests to ensure they can provide as wonderful services as their US counterparts).
I hope I didn’t bother you a lot Deb, and my heartfelt thanks in advance for your kind help.
Hi Arvind,
Since so many of our international friends are expressing interest, I wrote to one of my contacts at Demand and I’m pleased to report they’re looking at some of the ways they can hire freelance writers from other countries. I believe they’ll have something in place in another month or two!
Thanks for writing and don’t be a stranger.
Thanks a lot Deb, for your wonderful and prompt response. It really makes happy to see the way you support the international freelance writers too upon your blog, and the newly introduced international category in the opportunities section is a clear example.
By the way, I’ve got a friend over here in India with whom I discussed the possibilities of beginning a new Freelance Writing Service on the lines of QualityGal, but with a minimum pay rate of $1.5 per 100 words and paying on a weekly basis. The good news is, he has agreed to fund the site, which ofcourse, will entertain efficient writers from all around the globe.
I sincerely need your help in this context, and if I could get your email address, it would have been way better as you are going to be one of the most important resources who are going to make it happen!!
Although your blog is in itself a big name to reckon with now in the arena of freelance writing, still we will be happy to offer you a free sponsorship at our site.
Thanks again for your valuable support!!
- Arvind
Unfortunately, Demand Studios is more than happy to bank the information of international applicants without ever mentioning that they don’t hire non-US citizens during the application process. They flat-out refuse to delete any information that they collect even if they will never hire you and presumable have no use for the information.
Hi Deb,
Thanks for the post! I just wanted to mention there are similar writing gigs that should not be overlooked. Suite101.com, for example, has a writer who earned $5,000 last month. I believe this was their highest earner, but they have a lot of writers who earn $2,000+ each month (myself being one of them). AND, they continue to pay out over a lifetime (which is such a fabulous perk), whereas Demand Studios stops paying revenue on articles after 5 years. That said, DS seems to have quite a lucrative program as well, I just wanted to mention my current gig as a comparison not to be overlooked
~J
Wow, what a Demand love-in today! As a DS writer, congrats Deb! Just promise that you’ll still keep us posted on things happening at some of the more respected writing sites too? And for the international posters lamenting that DS doesn’t hire outside the US , you should mention Suite101.com. They don’t require that you be in the US and they also pay much better than Demand. I write for both.
I had a column with Suite101 about ten years ago when they paid a monthly fee. Now with residuals I’m actually hearing good things – from writers and the members of the Suite101 team that I’ve spoken to on the phone.
However, as they are still a residual site, I’m not sure how much the average Suite101 writer earns. Hmmm- you just gave me an idea for a survey.
I used to be a part of team “against DS” (and other content mills), but I wanted to note here that there are higher-paying opportunities through DS as well. They have special projects every few months, which often pay more than their regular articles. It’s hit or miss whether you actually qualify (depending on the topic), but I’ve been a part of teams for special projects in the past (and I’m part of one now), and the pay isn’t shabby by any means.
Hi Allison,
As I said, Demand isn’t for everyone and I respect all choices. But yes, you’re right, they do have special projects that are very lucrative.
Thanks for the reminder!
Kudos to you for partnering with Demand Studios! All that matters is that you made the best choice for you. If others would step out of their ego for a moment, they’d see that you may inspire other writers who want to take it to the next level.
BTW…I signed up for Demand Studios, but I haven’t written anything for them. I’ve been marketing my freelance writing business at networking events and online.
Good for you! I also network at conferences and events. How is it working for you? Have you achieved much success? Share!
Congratulations on the partnership! I have been writing for Demand Studios for a few months now, and all of the great things you mentioned have been true for me…up until this week. Usually, my articles sail write through with only minor revisions required, so I guess I have a good idea of the voice and style Demand is looking for. Maybe this was just a rogue editor, embittered by the crummy economy and having a bad day, but I received the nastiest comments ever on a recent submission. Words like “unacceptable,” “extensive rewrite” and “inexcusable” were used. Ew. I’m waiting a couple of days to mention this to the Demand Studios staff so that I don’t accidentally cop that copyeditor’s attitude! Don’t get me wrong: DS has been wonderful for me, and this was definitely an atypical experience. Had I been new to them, though, I probably would have quit.
No one deserves that kind of treatment. I hope you’ll let someone know about it so they can have a talk with that editor.
Good luck and keep us posted!
I sent a carefully-worded email to DS poobahs last night. I ruminated about it all day when I should have been thinking about other things. My “extensive rewrite” is due today, and I really feel icky about it.
Thank you for your transparency, Deb. I appreciate how you don’t try and pull a con or fast one on us and clearly mark your sponsored posts. I understand why you agreed to a sponsorship and admire you for not pretending you’re not being paid to promote Demand Studios. I sometimes see sponsored posts that are supposed to look like they’re not ads. You make sure we know when you’re paid to post something.Thank you always being honest with your community.
Thanks Karen.
I’m a little concerned by the comments about Demand not letting those they once turned down try again. I could see if there was a waiting period, but never? A little harsh.
This makes me nervous to apply. Its an opportunity I don’t want to miss just because it would be my first submission/application into the freelance world.
Hi Ryan,
I know several writers who weren’t accepted with Demand but reapplied later or used a different email address and were accepted that way. If you apply and your application is denied, contact the Demand Team to find out why and see if there’s a way you can work together to fix the problem.
Keep us posted!
Hi Deb,
I wrote for Write for Cash, too and now I write for DS in-between my high-paying gigs. I strongly recommend them for anyone who wants to learn how to write for the web and make some money doing it. Us writers that have proven ourselves get hired for gigs that pay $25-$30 per 400 word article. Since I can bang one or two of these out in an hour or less, the hourly wage is fantastic.
Ali
I definitely like the sound of Demand Studios as a filler for those weeks when I don’t have a couple of $500 jobs lined up in the pipe. Say what you will, but it’s amazing what even $150-$200 a week extra can do for someone living really thin pay check to pay check. I’ll definitely have to give DS a shot. Thanks for the review!
Hi Deb,
Just want to clarify about Demand Studios writing assignments. If you can claim 10 at one time, do you have to wait until your article is approved to claim more articles? Or can you claim after you have submitted the article while it is pending approval. If you have to wait, then you lose out on a few days of writing depending on how long it takes them to approve. And if you don’t have to wait if you’ve written for them before, how about first-time writers for DS?
Thanks & you’re doing a great job.
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer – You can claim a new assignment as soon as one is complete and out of your queue without waiting for approval.
First of all, I want you to know that I highly respect you and it’s apparent that many others do, too. I have to ask the obvious, though. How can you tout a company that you have no experience working with? You said you’ve never written for them, so you really don’t have a good personal grasp of what it is like to experience working for Demand Studios (DS). Don’t get me wrong I submit articles on occasion to DS to supplement my main writing income, and I really don’t have any negative to say about them. I’m just curious why you are so passionate about DS, though, without any tangible background with the company?
.-= Sherry Zander´s last blog ..Write for Seed =-.
Hi Sherry. I got my start with a company exactly like Demand Studios. It paid $15 a post using the same “choose a title” guidelines. I used those clips to land some very lucrative contracts. I think opportunities like these are helpful anyone wishing to get a foot in the door.
I sought out DS for sponsorship for several reasons:
* They’re choosy about who they hire
*They stress quality content
*Every article goes through a copyediting process
*They care about what they put out there.
The quality content issue is a big one for me and that’s why I’ve been recommending DS for a couple of years, long before I accepted a sponsorship deal.
Also, I signed up for DS in 2007 when they sent me an invite and I’ve written about 20 articles for them in the past year and stand by my original post.
Thank you for the clarification, Deb. I missed that part of your post — don’t ask me how! Sorry about that.
.-= Sherry Zander´s last blog ..Write for Seed =-.
Congratulations on the partnership. I’m sure it will prove positive for both parties.
The one criticism I have of the videos is that they make reference to activities that can be a little costly for those just starting out.
