How To Ressurect Your Dead Articles (aka "Zombify" them)
One of our commenters pointed this out and thought it might be interesting to see if anyone else had tried this.
Head over to Constant Content and sign up for an account.
Try taking one of your rejected Demand articles, clean it up and use it for your writing sample.
Then, once your approved, you can clean and upload all your rejected DS articles there and put ‘em up for sale.
Since they were rejected by Demand, they’ve got no claim on the articles and you can do with them what you will.
If you want, you can change around the article title. I know we’ve had a few people here discussing the legal ramifications of Demand’s “copyrighted” titles, but I’ll leave that up to you folks to figure out.
So try it out.
See how it goes.
DS_Forum_Lurker: You mention getting their “formatting down.” Does CC have a specific format, template or style that writers must adhere to?

Agreed w/ Wretched. Making money on CC is not as easy as throwing up a rejected/abandoned DS article and collecting the money. It’s all about the topic; if you’re writing about video games, travel tips, hairstyle outfits or one of those hotel, campground, restaurant lists, you’re not going to make money on CC. If you’re writing about making money online, small business articles, stock trading and weight loss, you might make some decent money. Watch the public requests and look at the recently sold articles and you’ll get a feel for what CC customers want.
It doesn’t hurt to put an article on the site…I’ve sold maybe 5 since I joined in Janurary. All those articles were making money online and home improvement articles.
Although I found that the copyeditor (I think it’s just one guy running the site) is strict, if you get the formatting down and you use good grammar, you won’t have a problem.

I have a question about creating accounts at CC and I hope someone with reliable information can help me out.
I filled out the registration form, and under the Pen Name section, I put a pen name. Under the first name and last name sections, I put…a different fake name. I have reservations about giving CC my real info, and since they don’t ask for my SSN, I assume this is ok. Is it ok?
Now I’m wondering if CC will send me a 1099 if I make more than $600 (or whatever the threshold is, the exact number isn’t pertinent to my question). Does CC send a 1099? I don’t see how they could if they don’t ask for an SSN.
Is a real name necessary for receiving PayPal payments? will Paypal put a hold on my account if I receive payments for a name that isn’t my name?
I guess my question is, does anyone else here use a fake real name with CC? Should I just take a leap of faith and sign up again with my real name? Thanks for any advice.

Constant Content is good but there is a bit more to it than just cleaning up the title and placing it on the site. That is just simply not going to make you any money. First, the editing process over at CC is strict. Uniform across the board, but strict. I know of two writers that are doing well over there. The keys are good SEO and hot topics. The hot topics are weight loss and making money. But if you can get good keywords, and have well written articles you can realistic bring in a couple of grand a month if not more and pick up regular clients. DMS articles are not going to cut the mustard though.
