Last December I decided to write an article to try and sell on Constant Content. It took a day or two for the article to be reviewed, but it was posted on the site on 31st December. Today I received an email from Constant Content informing me that my article has been sold.
When you post an article at Constant Content you can offer the buyer different rights to your article:
- Full Rights: This is the most expensive option for the buyer, but purchasing a Full Rights license allows the buyer to treat the work as their own. They can edit it in any way they see fit and even put their own name on it and say that they are the author of the work. The real author has waived all moral rights to their work.
- Unique (Exclusive) Rights: As soon as a buyer purchases a Unique Rights license Constant Content remove the article from their site and neither they nor the author can sell that article again. In purchasing Unique rights the buyer has bought unique content for their site. It has not and will not be published elsewhere. The buyer is free to make some changes to the format and to add any links that they may want to, but they have not got the right to edit the article and it must be published under the original author’s name.
- Usage License: This is the cheapest option for the buyer, who may make changes to the format and add some links. Many people can purchase the same usage rights on the article though, so when a webmaster buys only usage rights they are not guaranteed a unique content for their site. As soon as usage rights have been sold, Full Rights and Unique Rights are no longer available for that article.
I sold the usage rights on my article for $20. Constant Content then took 35% commission on the sale, leaving me with $13 in my account at Constant Content. This is not too bad for a 500 word article and there is also the possibility that I may sell further usage rights on the same article.
