It isn't all bad, but there need to be some major changes if this is gonna be successful in the future.

Nothing over $0.5/word has ever sold on their site. You can actually look at their sales and see that the only things being bought are absolute garbage $0.01 articles. This is the critical problem ContentGather has, there's no one buying. Simply put, there aren't enough buyers on the site. I would probably profit more from putting these on a Medium page and using them as portfolio pieces. I'm tempted to just keep adding more and more to the site but it feels like a huge waste. I got some decent feedback leading me to think the editor actually knows what he's doing, but usually nothing more than a sentence or two.įast forward to a month later, none of them have sold. All of them were very quickly approved and were rated around 8/10 or higher, which I feel is pretty fair considering I wrote these each in an hour or so. You start off being able to charge $0.03/word but as you increase in rank (bronze - silver - gold - platinum - elite) you can go back and increase the price of past articles anyway, making me question why it's tethered to rank at all. So I submitted a few articles for as high of a price as I could. Is the owner of this site under the impression that the top 1% of freelance writers write for $0.10/word? They force you to price articles at bottom of the barrel rates ($0.01-$0.10/word), yet they advertise their "elite" status as the top 1% of freelance writers. It's hard to ascertain what it's really trying to be. If you're looking for a short description of ContentGather - it has potential but isn't quite there yet.Īs a first impression, ContentGather is.
