Nicely done, I especially like how you created something of great value to help pull new inspired writers to these publishers. Anyone reading these comments should take advantage of these opportunities as they are a fantastic way to build revenue.
To change the subject:
What if any do you know about this site? GZYN http://www.gzyn.com/ I just want to know if you are familiar with them and maybe share some incite.
GZYN is a new site. The model is similar to that of Helium or AC in that it shares its revenue generated by ads on site. However, it is hard to see how it will be able to produce very much based on the type of ads the site currently displays. One to watch and wait to see how it develops I feel.
Wonderful article,and very useful for all of us trying to get into print. We will have to keep a watchful eye.
