Constant Content is one of the most intriguing paid writing sites on the web. The site has an intimidating structure that scares most people off before they even begin, evidenced by the fact that even after years of existence the number of authors listed on the right hand side of the page is only a few dozen as opposed to the countless number of writers submitting to most sites.

The standards for acceptance are enormously rigid. Think of it like an English teacher out of your worst nightmares. The slightest grammatical or spelling error will result in the entire article being rejected point blank. That is just the beginning. The vast majority of submissions are not accepted simply because they are not high quality enough. Even though there is no set standard for writing per se-other than a handful of the usual rules-the emphasis seems to be on lengthy articles with an extremely large vocabulary.
