More on The Content Authority

After I posted my last make money fast article, I’ve had a couple of conversations with Shawn, one of the head guys at The Content Authority. He corrected a couple of misunderstandings I had about how TCA works, and filled me in on a few more things as well. Here are a couple of excerpts from his emails to me, edited slightly for clarity.

…regarding the turn around to write an order – All articles, once they are picked up by a writer, are required to be written within a 8 hour time frame. There is a timer built into the article itself, so its always best to be ready to write when you pick up an order. Doing it this way has helped us to keep articles moving through the queue.

…

Regarding time frame – As you said we work under a first come first serve basis but once an article is greater than 72 hours old, then it receives a priority status in the queue. That means if all articles are more than 72 hours old then the writers have free reign on what they would like to write, but there is an understanding that if we have “Priority Red” articles in the system then everyone jumps in to make sure we clear through the queue. While you may have to wait, 95% of all articles are completed in a 5 days time frame – there is no other company out there now, doing the volumes we are doing that provides that kind of service.

In the last 2 weeks we have done close to 2,500 articles and have been doing over 1,000 articles each week for the last 6 weeks.

Because of the volume of business we are doing we have over 700 writers that have gone through a vetting process where they first submit their application and then are on a 5 article probationary period, where each article they write is reviewed prior to them being able to pick up another articles. Once they pass that test and withstand the time frame of waiting, they are able to write freely.

As I mentioned in my previous article, I’ve had quite a few articles written by TCA and have always been impressed with their service. The articles are nearly always top quality, and the few that I’ve gotten that needed to be rewritten were done so quickly. The only complaint that I’ve had with TCA is the length of time I’ve had to wait to get the articles back, but I’m not sure if that’s a legitimate complaint on my part or just wishful thinking – I’d always like to get the stuff I outsource back sooner.

Like I said before, if you’re looking to make some money by writing articles, or if you’re looking to have someone else write some of your content, definitely check out The Content Authority.
