GetPaidWriting.org Employs Gradual Content Delivery
As of June 24, 2010, GetPaidWriting.org now maintains a Gradual Content Delivery system for all membership materials.
I have found that new members often log into the website and get overwhelmed with all the choices they have for freelance writer. So overwhelmed, in fact, they might get discouraged about making money.
How It Works
The Gradual Content Delivery system unlocks specific articles during the duration of a membership. Articles pertaining to certain sites, such as Associated Content, London Brokers, InfoBarrel and Bukisa, are open immediately. More premium sites like Break Studios and Bright Hub don’t open until after the first 14 days of membership. Finally, Demand Studios opens after 31 days of membership, as this is one of the more picky websites to get accepted into.
Using the Gradual Content Delivery system, new members will no longer get that feeling of exhaustion before even starting the road to making a living as a freelance writer.
I encourage all new United States members to begin writing for Associated Content. Since so many writers have been successful with this website, and it takes no formal application process to sign up, this is where all new users should start.
I timed this class so members could read and apply the material within three days (hence, the “Get paid writing in three days or less” slogan). However, this is not enough time to write several articles, so I recommend writers work on Associated Content for the first two weeks of their time at GetPaidWriting.org.
*Note* After the first two weeks, more premium freelance website material will be unlocked, such as Break Studios and Bright Hub. This is for the members’ benefit. Some companies only allow one signup per lifetime – if you’re rejected the first time, you can’t apply again! So I want new members to have a fighting chance at their application by having some writing experience to their names with Associated Content.
If members “jump the gun” and try to get accepted to the higher-paying sites first, chances are they don’t have the experience necessary and will hurt their chances of acceptance in the future.
Some members might not even feel ready after the first month of paid writing experience. That’s okay – there’s no pressure to sign up if you’re not ready! Make sure you read the supplemental materials that pertain to all websites (found toward the bottom of the Member Portal) to grasp a working understanding of how paid writing works and what’s expected of writers.
What Happens If I Try to Access Locked Materials?
Readers will likely receive a “404 Error” page when they try to access materials before their membership reaches the appropriate maturity level. Please do not freak out – this is not a glitch!
