E-How Closing the Doors on the WCP

Early last week E-How announced that they would be closing the doors on the Writers Compensation Program (WCP). All new article published after the cut off date of April 13, 2010 will have to be published through Demand Studios (DS), the parent company to E-How. Both companies are in the process of moving writers over to DS if they meet the acceptance requirements. Those that do not meet the requirements can apply on their own. DS offers both upfront pay and residual. The upfront pay ranges from $3-$15 depending on the type of article. They also have many special projects available that pay even more. Although I have never used their residuals program, I am told that it is similar to E-Hows pay. They have added features that allow you to select your own title and have changed their policy to pay lifetime residuals. DS does have editors who check all articles. The pro to editors is that they can encourage us to become better writers. The downside is that rewrites and rejections are frustrating.
I have recently just published my first 2 articles with DS, and although I did have rewrites for a few minor things, I can say that the editors were very polite and helpful.
For me, I view this as a good thing. I was accepted at DS several months ago because I wanted the editorial oversight to improve my writing However, I have never published with them until now, I was to nervous that my work would not be accepted. Now I am in some ways being pushed to publish using DS, and I think that this will help me to improve my writing greatly.

When it comes to working from home people are skeptical, and I completely understand. I have invested alot of money into to working at home, and it turns out that some of the best opportunities are actually free. I am not here "selling" anything. I am here to share the information that my years of research have come up with. Most of the opportunities that I will share with you are free. I only share legit opportunties.
