Nice job guys. This year, I think I’m only going to show the top number of authors as the number of the month. April is the 4th month so I’ll show you the top 4 authors by submissions. May is the 5th month and in June I’ll show you the top 5 authors by submissions in May and so forth.
Last month we accepted 20 articles every hour of the entire month, and promoted those articles to 9,297 of our permission-based new article email alert members. In addition 6,346 articles were forwarded to a friend in April!
May 2006 is going to be a GREAT month and many of our new full-time team members will be completing their training so I expect our service/speed to improve.
I am very inpressed with all the writers who have achieved the top 3 pages of Expert Authors and now I notice that the first page spots require over 140 articles. When I started it was under half that. So the average is going up and that means the average benefit for the authors is going up too.
One thing I have learned is that it is hard to write high-volumes of articles, but the answer is to carry around a note pad and every time you see something or have a thought write down a title. When you gethome put that title on the top of a MS Word File. Then write one paragraph. If your ideas flow keep going until you get to 350-400 words, if not leave it and go onto the next and it will come to you later.
