Selling articles on listverse
I came across a site called listverse while watching a youtube tutorial on how to make money from writing articles. The site in question was listverse. It is a site where you submit a list of whatever it is you are writing about. For example “Ten weight loss hacks.”
You do not need to be a writer according to the tutorial. All you need to do is to go on to a site such as Articlesbase or Articlesfactory and copy an article from one of these sites.
Then you go to a site such as spinbot or quillbot and get the article rewritten into your own words.
Next step is to go over the article to make sure it makes sense.
Then you submit the rewritten article to listverse.
I decided to use one of my own articles to submit to listverse only to find out that the minimum number of words per article was 1800. My articles are between 400-1000 words. The articles on Articlesbase, Articlesfactory, Ezinearticles, and the like are all under 1000 words therefore will not be accepted on listverse. One would need to add to the article until it reached the minimum 1800 words.
I kept working on my article until it grew to over 1800 words then I submitted it to listverse.
It was rejected because it was not what they were looking for.
Listverse does not accept articles on self-help, opinion, product rankings or reviews, money making guides, personal experiences, health advice, gaming or sports, and social justice.
They also inform me that they receive over 100 articles submissions each day and of those, only 3 are accepted for publication.
These are not very good odds when you are competing against some very skilled writers.
None of this was even mentioned in the Youtube tutorial.
My advice is to look elsewhere if you are looking for a site which pays for articles or do a google search and type in “Listverse alternatives” and see what crops up.
Incidentally, the article which I sent in was titled “Ten weight-loss hacks,” which was my own article. I posted this article on several free article sites such as ezinearticles, livejournal, articlebiz, justpaste.it, and others.
