Build this in 300 words!
The titles at Demand are all generated by a computer program. This program looks at what people are searching for on the web and then spits out a title for an article on that subject. This results in some rather humorous article titles (ie: The “How to Toss Someone’s Salad” incident). There’s a forum on the Demand Writers page where you can ask for clarifications regarding these titles. I’d just like to touch on some of these funny ones from time to time.
The one I stumbled across today was “How to Build an Indoor Gun Range”. Lord help us all if you’re setting about to build an indoor gun range and the first entry that you find in Google is the eHow article. In the forum, the writer for the article suggested that the title was a bit confusing, and instead suggested they focus on the aspects of building an indoor gun range – sound abatement, ventilation, bullet trap, safety features, etc.
What was Demand’s position on this?
While I think your topics are great, the actual process of building the structure needs to be addressed.
Yes. They want you to sum up how to build an indoor gun range in 300 words.
Which is what I feel like part of my job duty here as a writer at Demand – DIRECT PEOPLE TO AN ARTICLE THAT IS ACTUALLY HELPFUL AND WRITTEN BY SOMEONE KNOWLEDGEABLE ON THE SUBJECT.
This is also a good illustration of one of the key points about making money by writing for Demand Studios – stay the hell away from any vague titles.
Thanks Wilfried! Been to the Emerald Isle a few times myself.

Great post! I had written on Demand Studios in my blog as well, and it seems the more you dig into the topic the more dirt you find. Keep up the good work!
