    The problem is that if you write any factual piece, it is likely that it will be discarded for’plagiarism’  because somewhere in the world someone wrote “Donald Trump was elected President” .  This allows the Admin to play with plagairism so as to prevent you from cashing out.

    • It is really disappointing to live with women like that, and to think they are aspiring to be nurses? How would they help heal their patients when they do not know how to take care of themselves when it comes to good hygiene?

      • We have the worst nurses in the world. People die of unsanitary conditions in our hospital. You can go in with an injury that will become infected. One has to leave Jamaica to get good care.

    I was invited to join a writing site.  Unlike the crowd, I do my research first.  I have been on so many sites since 2007 that I am qualified to write this article.

    In ancient days a writing venue would pay for w […]

    • What sites according to you are trustful to write articles for?

      • As of this minute; this site, Mylot and possibly, Niume… although I was paid once from Niume I am not yet fully convinced

    • This is so true, I have tried many sites in the past some have been great some have been awful. I gave up on writing online for a while but am trying some new sites out now. This being one of them.

      • This site is pretty good. But let me warn you. if you write factual pieces the A.I. might flag you for plagiarism. For example, if you write; “Cyclone Debbie caused major damage, torrential rain and power cuts to tens of thousands of homes”. Your item will be flagged because that is how the BBC describes it.

    • Very well said, and it is true as we online writers had experienced. I am glad Literacybase and myLot are included in your list of trusted sites.

    • Thanks for the info. I am on two writing sites only and more active in LB. I guess it’s because I am new and yet to get paid. I have been off LB for days now, due to work. I have been so busy in the office lately, once I get home, I’m tired.

    • Tried many sites and many were fake, but still have faith

    • Have you ever enter short story writing comptions?
      like what writer digest has

      • I entered one at webooks which deteriorated into a zoo… because crapwriter got the most votes because he had duals and friends.

    • That’s a really good snapshot photo of President Donald J.Trump. I read your post. Honestly, it’s a very poor use of analogy of a proverbial expression. His winning is the American voters’ win, as well, of a good leader, and winning back America, fairly and squarely.

      Americans are not your worst enemies in this day and age. It’s ISIS caliphate. It’s terrorism. It’s the illegal aliens entering USA. It’s the dark side of totalitarian liberal Master Plan in the “production of unaware and compliant citizenry” which the Democrat were exposed to be doing as Podesta and Hillary agreed with Bill Ivey’s Master Plan. Thanks to the Internet. These leaks do have their good serve.

      If only the barking mad rabid dogs, whose wild howls and yaps betray their own deseased state–would just stop the raving insanity and anarchy delegitimizing the President. And stop calling the good women Trump-voters “stupid”. So gross imagination you’ve got there.

      Nevertheless, watch out your own worst enemy that’s within you. Let it not become your own devastating stronghold. It’s not good for your health and well-being.

      Cheers, Kaylar.

      • While you are worshipping him, his popularity IN AMERICA has dropped to 37%. He is a laughing stock all over the world. Non whites are being targeted. There has been a lot of violence, murders, all kept off the front page.

        I hope you are lily white, because if you are not… you are your own worst enemy.

    If one attempts to write a good article, something that can be quoted they must use facts.  To use facts would open the door to plagiarism.   For example; imagine that you read;

    • What you say is true. I agree that we should be using words without naming people as that would keep the writer safe and the article safe from the problems stated above. One can also write other topics like short stories, incidents which took place in ones life, places where one went and interesting things happened. Something which only we know and not many other know about it such things would keep the writer safe.

      While there are places where all topics can also be covered and written. One can search for them for such articles. While we can follow all these it is better we use the checker which is faulty and check as the site is using the same. If it shows that anything is repeating at some other place simply do not publish the article here. That is better way of playing it safe and not being called names.

      • I’m going to avoid topical factual items here and post them on other sites. This will just be a pop corn site.

    This is why this site is lowly rated.  There is very little to read.  You can NOT post about a political situation in Your country which would be of educational benefit as you would be calling the names of real people, describing real incidents, which would likely be mentioned in newspapers and texts.

    I will cease from posting anything of real value.

    • That was my problem when I wrote for a client on one of the writing sites. When I used facts, all of the alleged plagiarized data will have yellow marks on it, meaning it was plagiarized! So I always call the attention of the site owners, then they will let my article pass!
