Constant Content is what I would call a content broker. They don’t buy content directly, but offer a marketplace where writers and buyers come together. Writers put their work up on consignment, so to speak, and if/when a customer purchases it, the author gets paid and CC keeps a cut. The author sets their own price, but their are guidelines to give you an idea of what to charge.

Authors can write on whatever topic suits them. There are literally more categories to chose from than one could imagine and places for everything from blog posts to full-length feature articles. Constant Content writing standards are higher than many of the other so called ‘be a writer’ sites. Each submission is manually reviewed by an editor and either approved or rejected. If a piece is rejected, it’s very easy to talk to the editors and find out why. Often a few small changes will do the trick.

Authors can offer their work for usage, unique, or full rights. Read the site for full details but in a nutshell, usage means the buyer is purchasing the non-exclusive right to use the work and the author can sell it with the same license to others. Unique means the work is only sold to one buyer and not available after that to anyone else. Full rights means the buyer fully owns the piece and can edit, change, take credit for, or resell the work.

Finally, there’s a marketplace where buyers can specify exactly what content they are looking for. Writing for these requests can yield faster sales since you know there’s an eager buyer for a particular topic.

Overall my experience with Constant Content has been great. While you won’t get paid for writing a piece up front, the payout if/when your article sells can be much higher than ‘paid for page view’ type writer sites.
