What to Do with Rejected Articles

As a freelance writer, you should expect for your work to be rejected from time to time. If you work one-on-one with a client, or through one of the freelance sites such as vWorker, and a client wants you to make changes to the work, this is easily done, and usually has no affect on your rating. Once those requested changes are made, the client generally accepts the work, and you get paid.

This is not the case on freelancer sites like iWriter. Once a client has rejected an article, the article is rejected. They may ask you to make adjustments, and to resubmit it, and you should do this, providing that the requester has not given you a bad rating. If the requester has given you a bad rating, you don't want to submit any further work to that client.

You should, however, give that client a bad rating as well - especially if you know that the work was good. Do this with the star rating system, without using words. In other words, rate them at one star, and do not leave a message with your rating. Your words could easily get you banned from the site, and this is true for any freelancing site out there. You should also keep a list of clients who reject what you know to be good work, or clients who give low ratings for good work.

I'm not sure how iWriter would feel about me publishing the names of requesters that should definitely be avoided, so I won't do that here. However, if you want my personal list, you can contact me, and I will be happy to share that list with you.  If you have such a list, feel free to share it with me as well!

So, what should you do with your rejected articles? Publish them as fast as you can. Set up a free blog or submit them to an article directory. You can also use them to make Squidoo Pages or Hub Pages. It doesn't matter, as long as you publish them fast. This way, if the requester or buyer is trying to steal the work - and there are many out there who actually do steal the work by rejecting the work - they will be publishing duplicate content, since yours is published first.

A day or so after you have published the work, run it through CopyScape to see if the requester/client was stupid enough to use the work anyway. If they were, report them to their Webhosting service, any company with which they are affiliated, and of course you should report them to the freelance site as well. Do not let them get away with it if you can stop them - but if you can't stop them, rest in the knowledge that Google knows which work was published first, and their site will be penalized for duplicate content.

What You Should Know about the Polar Heart Rate Monitor 2

This was an article that I submitted to a requester on iWriter. It was rejected, because the requester claimed that the article wasn't complete because the bottom sentences were cut off. I viewed the article, and the entire content was there and viewable. I will publish all of my rejected articles here, to protect the work from being stolen, and to prove that I stand behind my work 100%. 

Here is the article: 

With more focus placed on health and physical fitness today, it is important to have the right tools at your disposal to help you to achieve your personal fitness goals. Monitoring your heart rate before, during, and after physical fitness is essential not only for optimum health, but for effective workouts as well. This is why so many people today depend on the Polar Heart Rate Monitor 2.

Keeping your weight down, and building strong muscle, including the heart muscle, is essential when it comes to preventing and even curing many health issues that we face, which is why we not only have to do the physical work to stay fit, but we also need to invest in tools that help us as well.

A big part of achieving overall physical fitness is understanding your heart rate, and monitoring it carefully. Top athletes know this, and their heart rates are constantly being monitored so that they get the most out of every training session or workout that they have.

Regardless of the type of physical fitness that you participate in, or the level that you are at, you need to monitor your heart rate for optimal performance, and optimal results. Every type of athlete will benefit from heart monitoring, including cyclist, runners, walkers, and even weight lifters.

It doesn't matter whether you are training for endurance or strength. By monitoring your heart rate during strength training, you can easily find out the best time to rest between sets, also known as a cool down period. You will also know when it is time to stop resting, and you won't have to guess when these periods are, or use complicated math formulas to figure it out.

One of the best things about the Polar Heart Rate Monitor 2 is that it is very small. It can be used on your hip or your chest, depending on what is more comfortable and unobtrusive for you and your workouts. Additionally, it can be used with smart phones and other devices, and integrated with other tracking applications, such as distance trackers or calorie counters.

The Polar Heart Rate Monitor 2 also has the capability to connect to smart phones and other devices via Bluetooth technology, for wireless connectivity. This makes it easier to track everything concerning your workout, including your endurance, which is based on your cardio-respiratory output. This type of endurance can only be measured by monitoring your heart rate during physical exertion.

With your purchase of the Polar Heart Rate Monitor 2, you will also have access to the Polar Personal Trainer Service. This service will give you a complete analysis of the progress that you are making with your continued training or workouts.

The Polar Heart Rate Monitor 2 is useful for all levels of athletes, and it should be as important in your workout or training arsenal as any other fitness equipment or technique that you may use. With today's time constraints, it makes good sense to get the most out of your workouts and training sessions by using the right equipment and the right tools.
