I began the application process with Demand Studios, but could not submit because I don’t have a website/blog, facebook fan page or twitter account. Are these all required or do you know a way bypass these fields and still submit an application?

One more question, what about the ssn or the Id number for taxes? I took your advice and reapplied and it worked great, however it keeps telling me that my ssn is already in use.

Please help!

Demand Studios isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, they’re a pile of shit. They promise to keep you posted when things go bad, but then reneg on their promises. Do yourself a favor, go on welfare or deal drugs for a living. It’s more lucrative and there’s more dignity than writing spammy bullshit for a worthless, souless content sweatshop from hell.

Hi Christina;

Thank you for all of the great information you posted here! I am a nutritionist consultant as well as a personal trainer. I have written couple of articles in local newspapers and decided to apply for DS. I got accepted, wrote my 3 articles, and because 2 of my 3 got rejected, they dismissed me as a writer. How long do you think I should wait before reapplying?

Thanks again,
Jessy

I got fired from DMS after 3 years of working there. I had scores well above 4 on my scorecard for gram/research. One day randomly I recieved the infamous “we are no longer in need of your services” email. I’m a single parent and relied heavily upon DMS to support my family. Can you reapply for DMS using a second email if you were fired?

Another reason why you can reapply is I think is because they have a lot of people to review applications. And odds are you will get a different one.

I was rejected for a copy editing position and tried reapplying using a different email address, but the system wouldn’t accept my application. I don’t really understand why I was rejected in the first place because I have well over two years of experience as a copy editor and my work is strong. I’ve sent a request to the help desk to see if it’s possible to have my application reviewed again, so we’ll see what happens I guess. Maybe it’s because I’m currently employed on a full-time basis and they think I won’t be able to complete the minimum targets.

Hi Christina,

Thank you very much for this very interesting article. I’m glad you did get on board with DS because I can’t see any reason why they wouldn’t want you as a writer.

I was wondering if you happen to know how writers can gain access to better writing opportunities like Livestrong, etc. I was accepted as a DS writer a while back and seem to be stuck with article topics like “How to Put on a Speedo” or “What Characteristics Does a Male Centipede Look For in a Female Centipede?” (Okay, I’m being sarcastic, but you get my drift.)

Do you have to have a four-year degree to write better articles? Do you have any inside info on how a DS writer can get “promoted”?

Thanks!

Kathleen
