This article will explain many different to sell articles or books, which you have written, online.

Websites that are build to sell writings.

Constant Content

Constant Content is one of the best in its work. You can sign up as an author and start publishing your writings. This website can be used very easily and it has many options.

You can sell articles, photographs, illustrations and videos. But we'll just stick to articles for now. When you want to sell an article, you can list it in many different categories and sub-categories which make it easier for buyers to find your article. To make this even better you can add several keywords so buyers will find your article when using the search-option. You can add a short summary as description to your article that buyers will be able to see before buying. You don't have to publish you whole article publicly, because then you have the risk that others will try to copy your work; instead you can choose what you show publicly and what you don't, as long as you publish at least of the full article.

There are three ways of selling an article: usage', unique' and full rights'. Usage means that when someone buys it, the article will still be published, and the buyer will be able to add the article to one newspaper, website, etc. but without changing the content (except for adding links). Unique means that the article will be removed from the website once bought. The buyer can add the article to several websites that he owns. When selling the article with full rights, the article will be removed and the buyer has every right on the article, it's as he wrote it himself; so he can change everything. You can also sell the article for the three licenses and give them all different prices, so the buyers can choose which license they want to buy.

You can also reply to a private or public request. Then you can write an article on command and if the buyer that requested the article, finds it a good article he can buy it from you.

Constant Content lets you have an easy-to-use list of statistics of the articles that you wrote and sold.

When you have sold an article, you will get 65% of the price that the buyer pays. Once you have made $50 or more, this will be transferred to your PayPal account. (This is the only way that you can be paid.)

Associated Content

There are two disadvantages of this website: First, you have to enter your whole article instead of just , this
