Hi, we're aware of it and are fixing the problem. There is a small vulnerability on the site that someone is exploiting. We should have it fixed and cleaned up shortly.

Re: Welcome (48 replies, posted in New Members)
Hi Jonathan,
Welcome! Look for something you like. There's plenty to choose from on your homepage or the read section of the site. In terms of critiques, look at what other writers are leaving. Don't stress too much. Start reading and reviewing and you'll get into the rhythm before long.

A question as well: I have a piece I'd like to submit for the flash fiction contest. Can I edit it after I submit it? Or will the first draft that I post be the one that is submitted for judging?
You can edit it up until the contest deadline.
Welcome!

Hi Dagnee,
Go ahead and post it on the site. I can take it from there. Shoot me a Quickee when it's up so I know to look for it.
Thanks,

We're going to get it fixed at a programmatic level so it doesn't keep happening.

Re: Make Money Writing Articles (6 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
It doesn't need to be your expertise. You need to do a few minutes of research online and use that to write the article. It's only 400-500 words so it's not that long.

Topic: Make Money Writing Articles (6 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi all,
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I am getting some emails from people interested in tapping the writing talent on the site. This is mainly Blog writing. If there is an interest, I will post the topic and you can let me know if anyone is interested.
The first topic is to write an article on:
X New Trends that are Changing the Way Lawyers Do Business
It should be a 400-500 word article. The pay is $20.

Re: New tool (11 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
From my observation, the posts only disappear from the front page once I've opened them and otherwise stay until they are displaced by other newer ones up to the box limit.
This is how they are supposed to work. Sometimes, depending on browser cache or local browser characteristics, they may not behave exactly like this, but that's the idea.

Re: New tool (11 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
However, it'd sure be nice to know if those Facebook, twitter, posts I do are resulting in any clicks to my books
Not just clicks, but sales on Amazon. We've developed a way to track sales.
My favorite pet peeve, as you know, is that new forum posts disappear from the home page before I know they even exist.
Problem is everyone has a different pet peeve and one person's fix is another person's pet peeve. Bug we will fix regardless but we're very cautious now with new enhancements since we made a bunch of changes based on user feedback and they weren't well received by everyone.

Topic: New tool (11 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi all,
We're thinking of creating a new tool for self-published authors who have published work on Amazon. The tool would do the following:
- Allow you to see how your promotional efforts are working to send traffic to Amazon. You'd see which sites are sending traffic to your book's Amazon page: Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, Emails, etc.
- Allow you to see which of these promotional efforts are driving actual Amazon sales.
Is this something that you would find helpful in your promotion? I'd love any feedback.
Thanks,
Sol

Ok. We can look into adding that feature back. I wanted to remove some of the coercive features of the old site but people seemed to like them.

Re: New Member- hope I'm doing this right (6 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi Peter,
Welcome to the site! One thing I noticed is that you didn't post your first piece in TheNextBigWriter Premium. As a new member, you really want to post there first because it's the largest group and it's also a points group. Points are the currency on the site and if you don't use them you probably won't get feedback, especially as a new member. To read more about the points system, click the link below.

You can add your content to the Premium Group by editing your writing and adding it as a Group on Step 4 of the publishing process. It sounds like a lot, but it's pretty easy once you go through the process once. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Best,
Sol

Re: Are we stagnating? (9 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
People tend to come and go based on the time they can dedicate to their writing as well as what stage they are in - writing, editing, publishing, promoting, etc. I'd love to find a way to keep members engaged through all of the steps of the process.
