Update on Constant Content


There’s a tiny but important change to constant-content.com: The page footer now says it’s “A Division of Moresby Media Inc.” As I mentioned in my earlier post, the footer previously identified RevenueWire as the parent company. The FTC fined RevenueWire for helping shady “tech support” companies to scam people.

Writers are saying that Constant Content has sent out an email telling them they will soon be getting payment through Stripe. Others say they didn’t get the email. It’s plausible that the mail had trouble with spam filters; bulk email promising payment tends to be viewed as spam. Alternatively, CC may be sending the mail out in batches.

Setting up to receive payments by Stripe is straightforward; payments can go to a bank account or a debit card. However, it’s not available in all countries, and that could be an issue for some writers.

If Constant Content is now severed from RevenueWire, that’s a very encouraging sign. However, Constant Content is still disclosing very little. My online research on “Moresby Media” has turned up nothing relevant. Perhaps it’s a newly created company. You’d think Constant Content would want its customers to know about any changes, but maybe its management hopes no one will notice its connection to a scandal. When payments to writers are interrupted, that’s an unlikely hope.

Constant Content offers a marketplace for articles. Writers can post articles and set prices, and customers can buy them. CC is known for its erratic and sometimes arbitrary editorial process, but it’s popular with writers with articles that have been rejected elsewhere and would otherwise go to waste.

Again for full disclosure: I’ve submitted articles to Constant Content and gotten paid for them, though not recently. Whatever happens doesn’t have a direct financial effect on me. Constant Content shouldn’t be confused with the better-known Constant Contact.
