For Fast Writers: How To Earn $105 With Less Than 4 Hrs of Work Daily

Hi guys,

Just a heads up here.

If you can churn high quality articles fast,
you may want to take a look at Demand Studios.

=> Freelance Jobs | Demand Studios

Demand Studios produces content for high
authority sites such as eHow and Youtube.

They look for high quality writers all the time.

You can choose the topics you want
to write on, and of course, write from anywhere.

You can also decide how many articles
you want to write on. There's no limit.

As I understand, a usual rate for an article is a flat
fee of about $15.

If you think writing 7 articles a day is no sweat
for you, that's $105 ($15x7) you can bring in daily.

It's also possible to do so within 4 hours if
you are fast (if you use Dragon Naturally
Speaking, you can go even faster).

They pay twice weekly. So the income is at least
sustainable and predictable - provided you can
write articles that meet their standards consistently.


Additional Points:

1. You need to be accepted as a writer first.
Find out more here: Freelance Writing Jobs | Demand Studios

2. FAQ can be found here:
Help Desk & Contact Us | Demand Studios

3. As I understand, some of the copy editors there may have
strict demands on article standard. So it's quite possible
you may have your articles pushed back to you for a re-write.

I even read that some of the editors can be quite rude.
So be prepared for that.


Note:

I just gotten to know about them from Alexis Dawes's
(the creator of "Desperate Buyers Only") blog.

I have a lot of respect for Alexis as a writer. And if
she says that Demand Studios can provide good gigs
, I think I can trust her on that.

I did some research and they seem quite credible too.

But personally, I have not written for Demand Studios.
So do your own due diligence just to be sure.


I'm writing this because I figure that this can be a
good side income for many of the copywriters/article writers here.

At least there is an additional avenue to look out for
when times are tough.

I hope this helps someone out there.

Jag

    I wrote for demand studios some time ago and found that the editors are very inconsistent. At times an editor would flag almost everything and fail articles for no reason I was allowed to know while others went through with no problem. It has been by far the largest rejection rate I have ever encountered in all my writing career.

    However, there is money there if your an expert at how to articles on a wide variety of topics. At $15 an article it's a great chance for most new writers online.

    The problem with DS is that it is for Americans only.

      Actually, no. If you are going in as a writer, you can be from anywhere. But you have to meet their selection criteria first.

        I found the process sort of annoying. It is good for regular work but, let's face it... it doesn't take much to find quality content writing gigs. Throw up a blog and advertise - a simple adwords campaign when my workload gets low is always a great way to bring in new clients.

    I just checked their FAQ and they say they only accept US residents or citizens. They didn't seem to make any distinction between the various categories of writers.

    Fair warning, a whole bunch of very professional writers already make regular use of Demand Studios.

    I'm talking about a whole forum the size of Warrior Forum of very good writers who aspire to be professional authors.

    The bar is extremely high, so the typical, barely literate article slop that I've seen in the IM arena is going to be trounced.

    I made $600 this month with Demand (my first month and started very slow getting used to the system). And I was very lazy to be honest.

    Yes, the standard to get accepted is high, and I have about a 20% rewrite rate. But some of those took me only 5 to 10 minutes to edit, and they were accepted. You need to factor in that you just aren't going to get a 100% acceptance on your articles. So instead of thinking of $15 per article, just look at it as making $13 or so per article and keep plugging along. It's still worth it if you need some money now.

    Yes, copy editors can be ridiculous at times and rude, but if you research well and have decent grammar and punctuation, you can do well. The key is to give specific, actionable information. No generic stuff or things off the top of your head unless you know it sounds good. I have written many "how to start a business" type articles almost off the top of my head, but I always find some references, such as a wholesale supplier of the product or something like that.

    Expect to spend about 20% of your time looking for good titles. Some titles are simply impossible or nonsensical, so you have to look a bit to find good ones or things that are simple. If you aren't sure, then just do a quick Google search for references. If you can find references in 5 minutes, save that title even if you don't know about the topic. I am talking about "How To" articles.

    Demand is a freaking goldmine if you are a mechanic. Those titles come up over and over again. And loads of titles exist for how to do simple web editing or using scripts that people in WF should know, anyway.

    Let's face it. We know people here are struggling to make even $100 in a month. This is by far the easiest self-employed money I've ever made. They are adding hundreds of titles a day. The money is there for the taking.

    Anyone who disses Demand is either uninformed, already making a lot of money, or just not a good writer.

    Thanks for the heads up jag. I have a question that i would appreciate any experienced freelancer would help me on this. They require submitting a resume and samples of work. I have no problem with the samples and even live ones but as a new free lancer with no previous writing "jobs", what would your resume be about

        I'll chime in. Hopefully, I can help someone who's struggling.

        About a year ago, when my content writing business was only three weeks old, I applied to Demand Studios. By that time, I already had a full workload thanks to help I received from great friends like Jenn Dize, Alex, and others from this forum.

        My "resume" was simply a letter that stated my qualifications. I simply stated that I am a native English speaker with a college degree, and I've never had a customer complain about my work.

        I included two samples and three testimonials. I was accepted.

        Last month, I was uncertain about my availability because of the birth of a child. Therefore, I primarily wrote for Demand Studios. I made over $1700.00 last month for Demand Studios.

        Once you get the hang of writing for the style they are looking for, it's a breeze. Today, I wrote three articles about various Sony Walkman settings that took a total of a half hour to write. I made $45.00 in a half hour. Usually, I can write two $15.00 articles in an hour.

        I prefer writing for private clients, but Demand Studios is definately a viable option for anyone who can write well and take criticism with a grain of salt.

    From their FAQ:

    Q. I am not a citizen or legal resident of the United States, but I do have a PayPal email address. Can I be paid? A. No. The Demand Studios Program is not available for non-U.S. citizens or non-U.S. residents at this time.That's a bit of a shame. Ah well.

    Demand Studios only pays via paypal, and you must be a U.S. citizen (I believe).

    Yogini, can you please PM me with your email address? I cannot respond to your PM because I do not have enough posts to send PMs. Thanks.
