WRITE AN ARTICLE
I will gladly sound the trumpet anywhere that factoidz is indisputably one of the best; if not the best; paid article writing sites anywhere in the web. There are reasons why factoidz is the best around; ranging from outstanding pay rates, sleek platform, fantastic earnings on views, affiliate program, etc.
The management of factoidz recently upgraded the sites and added some really cool features. Even now, there are lots and lots of product reviews compared to the good old days. Factoidz has really come a long way and the writers are happy here; I believe.
However, am aware of some issues really troubling the hearts of my fellow writers; as they have been speaking out in the comment sections of some articles that they are not totally down with some goings on in the community.
In this article, actually the 4th in the series which I have so painstaking written, I will examine some of the areas that fellow factoidz writers have been crying out for improvements for long and suggest tips to make it better as a way of making the factoidz platform the best environment. This article is not a criticism; rather the opposite. We want to make factoidz unrivaled forever in the paid article niche. I guess we should get busy then.
Areas That Need To Be Improved Upon
Factoidz pays by PayPal which is a fine means of payment. However, not everyone can open a PayPal account legally. Some countries are banned from opening and they are here in factoidz. Also, these persons could get discouraged from producing excellent work as they might just be writing here to market themselves as good writers for freelance jobs elsewhere. This cuts away exceptional writers that would have been invaluable to factoidz. Including other payments methods would sure help the community; and factoidz has gotten big enough to do that.
This is one area that most writers at factoidz have issues with; management never gets back to us. It’s like a daddy refusing to speak with the child. The child will become all gloomy and perhaps fall sick. Some writers who can’t just take it have fallen sick and they are nursing some ill feelings against the management. This is perhaps the greatest shortcomings that the factoidz platform has.
It has come into the open that there are plagiarists right here in factoidz; under the nose of the management. I have actually seen some of my reviews; comparison reports actually; been used verbatim to form new comparison reports. With this scenario, not only the writer will be affected but the site as well, as search engines will be reading duplicate contents in the site; thus affecting ranking. I suggest that such persons not only be demoted but removed from the program for such blatant transgression.
I only just became a staff writer and one of the benefits is that your article gets published immediately. Imagine my pains when after writing two articles, the system refused to accept it. These were unique articles; no spinning here. It appears as if the system is highly sensitive; even for staff writers whose articles are original.
Voting in the factoidz platform is a way of encouraging each other and appreciating a job well done. Votes have its advantage as it takes you up in the most votes page; meaning more views. However, the votes appear not to go round well. Am not saying here that we all should get tens of votes but 10 votes for factoidz writers, 15 for staff writers and 20 for featured writers would do well. This is because most of us have large amount of followers who write fantastic content that we like to vote up.
Sending private messages these days have become a big deal. I have tried on occasions to send private messages to my friends here at factoidz only to be delayed by the captcha. Sometimes, I can’t help but give. True, the captcha is good against spamming but it should not be made case sensitive.
Well, these are some of the areas that I feel needs some improvements here at factoidz. If there are other areas that should be improved, you are free to air your view. We are one big family and are all working together to make this platform one hell of a platform.
Well detailed with truth and solidity. Thank you.
Returning with a well deserved vote.
Totally agree with the non admin feedback for writers. One of my gripes is I wish we had our user forum back on here, we could all help each other out and we wouldn't need to bother admin with our queries.
Personally, I'd like to hear some of the other writers' horror stories to see how they compare to mine . . .
The captcha thing is horrid in general. I wish we had more selection in the Article assignment thing - although I realize many sites do not even have that - so many are geared towards American destinations only. I understand why that is, but as a Canuck, it makes it somewhat limiting.
I'd like to know what's going on when trying to upload a photo. I'll find something appropriate for my article on morgeFile and download it, but the picture that comes up is totally different and not appropriate for the article. My current article regarding E.coli infections is an example. The picture should be of ground hamburg and instead it's tea and herbs...ho'd that get there?
The only thing I can upload are videos. Everything else is deleted. The system won't even accept images I personally own. Also, it has deleted dozen of images from past articles--many of which were my personal property.
And I thought the picture problems were only peculiar to me! My pictures will have to be uploaded at least twice before they register and they become lose some shape. The system always tells me there is a problem with my pix; but thank God I dont have Madam Sandy or Sir James problems. Those are really tough ones.
James, I have found the same problem with pictures, including my own, being altered or deleted on some of my past articles. Added to that problem is the fact that I can no longer edit my articles to compensate for the lost image (some of the text doesn't make sense now without the photos). It's so frustrating. However, my biggest beef is that Admin never responds to my emails - ever.
I completely understand, Sharla.
I completely agree with the fact that admin does not respond. When I just joined factoidz, I had an article that took one week to be published. I queried during the period to see if something was wrong but got no response. That is a big problem.
Nicely written article. We will strive our best to maintain Factoidz number one paid article writing site and voted up!
I really like your article. I have not been able to send a message to other writers on factoidz for over a week. It keeps saying the captcha is not entered right and this is not true. I have sent dozens of emails to support and have not recieved an answer. I need to sent the messages to other writers to thank them for their support and comment on their articles. I love writing for factoidz but they need to help people that have a problem. Thanks Norma moitoza@att.net
This is exactly my point. I have 3 consecutive articles rejected do to spinner articles, but they are all original content from articles I wrote for my university. All three articles were deemed the best written articles in my class. Do to the three consecutive rejections, Factoidz put me on 1 month suspension from publishing. When I emailed 5 times for clarity, I still got no response. Your article is timely and hopefully something will get done.
