Many months ago, I signed up with Constant Content. Back in October I put up an article which was accepted right off but remains unsold. I was just happy it wasn't rejected on the first try.
Then near the end of last year I put up another article that had been a sample I'd written for a gig I wasn't selected for. I tweaked it some and put it on Constant Content, but this one did get rejected because I had a pesky misplaced modifier (I do like that they have strict editing policies, though.)
Eh, okay, so I waited a while before putting it up again because I was afraid it would get rejected for something else. With their 3 strikes rule on rejections, I wasn't in a rush...The other day, I finally re-read and corrected it, and re-submitted it.
I got a notice this morning that my article was accepted then SOLD 16 minutes later for full rights!
I was shocked! I mean, not SHOCKED but I really didn't expect that! I understand this isn't normal, but I'm pretty proud that it sold just about as soon as it was posted.
I now have $35 for an unused, barely tweaked sample that I wrote off the cuff in about an hour.
I need to go back through my files now and see what else I can use and submit!
