I got accepted for the Green Living Channel but I have no idea where to start. Are we supposed to suggest our own titles or are there titles already on there for us to claim? I actually got accepted a while ago but haven't done anything with them yet.

I haven't either. I have found them so hard to understand that I haven't yet written anything. I don't understand making it so complicated and hard to understand. You'd think they would want you to be able to figure it out and write for them.

Hi There:

About how long did it take you to get approved to write there?

Thanks

Hi - I applied for four channels and got approved for all four within a couple days.

I agree - I find the format to be a bit confusing there!

I just got accepted for four channels, as I mentioned in my previous post, during the first week of March. I read through all the training materials and watched the PPT presentations, which were helpful. I also received messages from the editor of each channel - did you get anything like that? They were all friendly and provided all the instructions for how to get started - they all have Google docs filled with already optimized titles in different categories. That's where you find your titles (IF each channel runs the same way - I don't know about the Green Living channel!)

Default Nice place

Been writing at Bright Hub for a while. Started slowly as you can only start by doing 5 articles a month, but that cap is lifted as soon as your articles get page views. I write about 20 articles a month and love the way article ideas are planned for you to grab from lists. Earnt over $200 last month.

There are so many topics you can choose from. Spoilt for choice really.

I wish I had gotten helpful messages from editors. The only thing I've ever gotten was really kind of curt and rude. She deleted an article that I'd started and never answered any of the questions that I had. After about two months, I still haven't written anything for them. They won't answer the simplest questions about where to get started. I found the PP presentations vaguely helpful, but I still don't know where to start. If you ask them, two or three people will chime in with contradicting responses, or they will refer you to PP presentations that don't give you the answers that you asked for. For the pay, I don't know how it could be worth it to be put through all of that.
