AOL Gets Into the Content Game With Seed.com

Writers and photographers have a new place to search for assignments and to submit their work in hopes of acceptance. Seed.com (http://www.seed.com) is a content website put out be AOL.

I signed up for Seed just to check it out. The process was quick and simple. They didn’t even make me do a writing test. Publishers’ assingments are listed in the member section and you can claim the ones you want to write (or photograph). The payments for articles are quite a bit better than other content sites that I know of, but the requirements for the articles are also much more stringent.

This makes sense, of course!  Higher pay for quality work.

Each writing project can be accepted by an infinite number of writers. All submissions for the project in before the submission deadline are then reviewed by the publisher and editors for the site itself, and a decision about which article to accept is made. Only that person makes the money. If your article is not accepted, it appears that it reverts to you and you can do whatever you want with it.

If I had more time, I would give Seed.com a serious try.
