Demand Studios Review
I just wanted to highlight a good review of Demand Studios by Master Dayton. Demand Studios is not a get rich quick deal but it is also not a scam. From Master Dayton’s review and other things I’ve read Demand Studios has some merit as a site to write for if you need to make a little immediate cash.
Here is another “review of Demand Studios” where one DS author expresses his frustration through this video parody.
Constant Content Review
If you can afford to be a little patient Constant Content is a better choice for selling articles (more money in the long run). Here is an interview I did with Constant Content writer Celeste Stewart to check out how that works.
Xomba Review
I am personally a big fan of Xomba as both a bookmarking site and an article site. Xomba both shares Adsense revenue and allows Amazon and other reasonable affiliate linking from your Xomba posts. I regularly build multiple anchored backlinks right into articles to benefit other articles and blog posts. Tiffany Dow just posted this YouTube video that nicely shows how to use Xomba to create a page promoting Amazon Affiliate links (in her case, weird toilet seats).

ShetoldMe Review
If you have not started using SheToldMe than read my review of the SheToldMe.com site.
Linking Strategy
It is important to diversify your income because somethings will work and others will not. Using multiple sites to interlink your articles can get you on the front page of Google. For example today I’ve got Google page one for the search term “shetoldme.com review” with:
Spot #1: Bookmark to SheToldMe from one of my blogger blogs
Spot #7: The main Innovative Passive Income Article on SheToldMe.com
Spot #9: Xomba bookmark to the main SheToldMe Review
Now maybe these will not all stick long term, but I think the chances of staying on page one with something are better than average.

Thanks for the link to my Demand Studios review. I loved the spoof video on DS. Sometimes I feel exactly like that on the bad days. I may have to go favorite that video on my bookmarks :) I enjoy the blog – keep up the good work!
That video came to my attention just after it was released when someone posted a link in the eHow forums. I understand some of the references like “remove a spleen from a cat” are to real DS titles that go unwritten.
Well I really don’t know where to start. I write articles for Associated Content, Seed and did write for Demand Media. I started about a year ago for Demand and recently have gotten a lot of flack from them including a letter nothing like yours. It seems after doing a vast amount of articles for them and having fairly good responses and only 7 rejections in one year’s time, I have been sent a letter stating they do not require my services anymore. That is because I had trouble with one particular editor and wrote two grievance letters stating so. Needless to say I was scolded and told I would be put on limited account status while they did a review, however the review seemed to be unfair because after over a month time they have decided to let me go as a writer citing no specific issues just that they have decided that I am not right for their site. I was allowed to finish my work and all of them was processed without rewrites, as about 80% of my total work for them. I have learned something very valuable about this whole situation if you write for DS don’t send in a grievance you will get black-balled.
I have been trying to reach Mr. Rosenblatt about the situation because I really loved writing for DS but my emails have not been responded to so I have decided to leave information about the incident on the net see any one of the various sites I work for and type in my name and demand studios rejection.
I am a featured health and wellness writer for Associated Content and make very good money for both Associated Content, Constant Content and Seed.com.

Thanks for sharing. The money is better at Constant Content and I’ve not been impressed with how Demand Studios/eHow treats writers.
