Please refrain from submitting spun articles to make a quick buck.
Even though your article is spun to a point of passing a copyscape test, we review each article manually before posting it. We are well versed in article spinning software and will know right away if your article is spun. Spun articles will be rejected.
If you do wish to use spun articles as a starting point, please revise the article to make sure the sentences flow properly and read in proper english.
This program is meant for people to earn a few extra coins for writing about something they are passionate about. It is not a system to be gamed.
The prices we are currently paying may seem low for some. We are currently working with advertisers to get a larger budget and will be paying accordingly. We are also working on a loyalty program offering larger payouts to frequent contributors as well as a future voting system / traffic monitor to give the best performing articles author's an extra bonus.
Keep submitting your articles. Good things are in the works and loyal contributors will eventually be rewarded.

Even after the absurd price rise you are paying 8 dollars for a original breaking news article, do you expect to receive any of those ? Well, at least all the prices are so low that it seems unlikely you won't pay the poor writers. |

Even after the absurd price rise you are paying 8 dollars for a original breaking news article, do you expect to receive any of those ? Well, at least all the prices are so low that it seems unlikely you won't pay the poor writers. We usually take care of the breaking articles ourselves. Keep in mind we are simply a small blog for now. We are getting about 1000 hits a day so we are still getting up off our feet. This is merely a program so people can write about what they are passionate about and earn a few bucks while doing it. Simply by looking at the numbers, it simply wouldn't make much business sense to pay out more than the article would generate. Also, we're simply asking for a 400 word article here, we're not looking to award anyone a Pulitzer prize  Once the site gains momentum and reaches a wider audience, we will be able to afford to offer larger payouts and perhaps even hire full time writers. Writers which could very well be found by simply submitting a few pieces of work on our site. |

That which is worth doing is worth doing well, why are you promoting halfassedness? |

This kind of justifies the concerns expressed herebelow: This is merely a program so people can write about what they are passionate about and earn a few bucks while doing it. Simply by looking at the numbers, it simply wouldn't make much business sense to pay out more than the article would generate. Also, we're simply asking for a 400 word article here, we're not looking to award anyone a Pulitzer prize Explain why you think bitcoin needs or would somehow benefit from excessive mediocrity. That which is worth doing is worth doing well, why are you promoting halfassedness? Now consider the proposition you offer here: cryptosource.org/submit-news/earn-be-heard/ Compared to what your OP offers: Payment- Payment amount for the articles are at the discretion of CryptoSource.org staff.
- Payment will be made once an article is posted.
- Articles can be held by CryptoSource and posted at a later date. Just because you submit an article today, does not mean we need to post it today. The posting date is at the discretion of CryptoSource.org and is dependent on our current budget.
- Full pricing information can be found on CryptoSource.org
These things where an author submits everything to the whims of your discretion is unattractive unless you can establish some sort of WoT presence. I'm looking for opportunities to write for other venues but right now your terms and the impression your content leaves me with is unattractive. |

That which is worth doing is worth doing well, why are you promoting halfassedness? Not at all. We review each submission for spelling, grammar and content. As I said, this isn't our primary business model, it's simply an small added feature for those who are interested to submit something and earn a few bucks. If you think the rewards aren't worth the effort, then don't submit. It's as easy as that |
