I’ve written a few posts about CloudCrowd in the past, including a CloudCrowd review, and my biggest beef with this content company is t
hat if you make any little mistake and the editor doesn’t feel like fixing it, your article is rejected and you have no opportunity to fix it. You also do not get paid for your time in writing the article. I previously recommended that you could post the rejected article on Suite101 or similar type of site so you can still get some type of compensation for your time. Well, you don’t have to worry about this anymore.
Last week, CloudCrowd announced that Editors now have the ability to return work to the author to fix any errors or make other changes, and then resubmit it. As long as it is accepted the second time, authors will receive payment for their updated article. It is my understanding that the author will not receive the bonus in this case, but will still get the base pay. This is a step in the right direction, in my opinion, for this company to be more “writer friendly”. Though I will admit there are many more improvements they can made to improve their reputation and the way they treat their writers.
This is a significant change that I think should had been in place from the get-go. But now that freelance writers have the ability to make changes and resubmit their work for payment, I think it’s worth signing up and taking a few credentials test. If for nothing else, simply for the fact that CloudCrowd pays every night and it’s one of the only places you can write and get paid within the same day. This is a good egg to have in your basket when you need quick money, or for filler work.

I have been in the writing business for years. I have handled many beats and responsibilities. I have written everything from articles, to screenplays, to custom essays, to straight news when I was in UK. Now that I am back in the US where I belong. I intend to pursue another writing career that has always been a frustration of mine, arts. Frustration because I feel that I lack the creativity and the patience to draw, much less do it digitally. So I guess I’ll just concentrate on writing.
My deep longing to be a vital part of a essay help group make me want to make sure I’ve got worthy folks to ask for help out! If that would be imposible then I’d just volunteer to some organization that could use my skills. Work probably makes my nuts and bolts to get of over some daily office life and more likely, makes me want to crave for big essay service changes.
