Okay I can't find this anywhere. Apparently as a title creator or editor we can take out a lot of titles. I was wondering though what are deadline is on those titles?

Yeah you can claim a lot, I took 40 or so at a time. I'm not sure exactly on the limits or time spent on them though. I couldn't seem to find that information.
And the titles do seem weird because you have to keep the keywords in that order even if it makes no sense, but I asked about it and they said they will be changing that soon so we can have more freedom with the titles.

I'm hoping that'll happen soon Jenn and that we don't get a lot of rejections in the meantime bcause we do the best with what we're given.
Also... Are we supposed to use proper capitalization in the titles we create?

I have been, just in case. I am trying my very best to make them sound as good as possible with what I am given, lol. But the rejection rate is low.. today I wrote 90, and only 4 were rejected.

Yeah out of 182 I've only had 4 rejected. I wish they'd tell you why they were rejected as feedback is always nice.

Well I made a major problem for myself but have managed to struggle through it and come out good on the other side.
I was on one of the subject pages. One of my categories. I had done a search for titles available. There were only maybe 40 on my page. I scrolled down and it said claim all. LOL I did thinking it just meant THAT page. No no no no. I got over 300 lol
I emailed in and they did say that we have 4 days to complete titles. I actually have about 200 of them done and only 3 rejected. Not bad.

OMG I'm soooo glad I know better than to do that LOL I was under the same assumption and would never get them all done. I'm glad you've been able to do it though.

Every content company I have worked with that has a claim all or claim these option was for just what you could see on the screen. Like when you are checking and deleting large amounts of email or spam. So, yeah I didn't know better because no other company I've dealt with has done that. I learned that they do though so lesson learned.

Hi,
You have 14 days.
We'll make some changes soon, so you can see deadline in your profile
You can reject titles. Just click red button.
I can't find that information either. And I have another question. Can we reject titles that are nonsense? Or is having the keyword in them and correct categorization all that matters? For example, I just saw one that was like, "how to find business place ireland store." This is not an actual store name, but seems to meet the few title requirements they set forth.
Or how about "home for sale in denver" -- meets the requirements, but sounds like the title of a classified ad/isn't very writable. :confused: err on the side of acceptance?
"home for sale in denver " have to be "How to find home for sale in Denver".

Proper capitalization is not required.

Just got hired on yesterday as a Title Editor and Article Editor and did quite a bit of work yesterday. But today I hardly see any work at all, is this normal? Also, I"d like to add other categories to my profile in order to access more work but not sure if I can edit my profile on my own. I tried to email them regarding these requests but haven't had an answer yet.

There hasn't been as much title work so that might be why there isn't much to edit. But I think I have around 100 titles to do later tonight.

It depends on what categories you're in. I picked up 400 titles to create earlier and did about 200 tonight

Well, I emailed them yesterday and now I have access to all categories, yeah! Still haven't seen tons of titles to edit today but I did pick up about 25 articles to edit at least. And I know it says payout is on Friday if you have at least $10 in your account, so when is the cutoff for pay? Thursday night at midnight EST or a different time zone? I can't find that information anywhere.

How does one apply to be a Title Editor? I did that with DMS for a year or two and enjoyed it.
Thanks!
