Is Demand Media Studios legit?
Absolutely. They are, by far, the leading publisher of freelance writing on the Internet. Demand Media's IPO the New York Stock Exchange on January 26, 2011 raised its market capitalization to $1.9 billion. In comparison, the valuation of the New York Times is $1.56 billion. The Better Business Bureau gives Demand Media Studios an A- rating. (Click to read BBB review) Demand
Media Studios is a real company offering real work to
freelancers. They always pay on time. In fact, they send payments to
your Paypal account twice per week.
Demand Media Studios has more than 10,000 freelance writers, most of whom are happy
working for them. Take a look around the Internet to confirm this.
There might
be some grumbling like there is about any company but no one says it is a scam because it is
not. A San Francisco Chronicle article calls Demand Media Studios and its
parent company Demand Media "the next Google." (Click to read SF Chronicle article) Demand Media had revenues of $114 million in the first half of 2010, up from $91.3 million for the same period in 2009. They also cut their debt in half. (Click to read the details in Editor & Publisher)
This is Steven Kydd, Executive Vice President talking about working for Demand Media Studios. Since this interview, they added several thousand writers and doubled the assignments they offer.
Demand Media Studios pays twice per week and offers health insurance.
So... is the pay lousy?
It is if you don’t know how to maximize your earnings. Those who
complain that the Demand Media Studios pay is low don’t know how to work the
system for maximum profit. They waste their time on low paying assignments, costly rewrites and rejections. It
is simple to earn thousands of dollars per month from Demand Media Studios working just a few hours per day. A Time Magazine reporter writes that he can make $60/hour writing for Demand Media Studios. (Click to read the Time Magazine article)
Work from home on your own schedule.
Could I make a living with Demand Media Studios?
Yes, many people do. Demand
Media Studios offers health insurance to active contributors, so it can be just
like a full time job if you want it to be. You have the added
benefit of being a freelancer. You can work whenever, wherever and however much you want. It is an ideal situation for stay-at-home parents, retirees, students, travelers, the unemployed, and those who want to make a few extra bucks in their spare time. Some people quit their day jobs when they find that they make just as much money from Demand Media Studios while working a fraction of the time. Others travel around the world financing their trip by writing Demand Media Studios articles as they go. All you need is a computer, an Internet connection and some expertise.
Earn money while you travel. This is the author working while traveling through Europe.
Is there enough work to go around?
There's plenty. At any given time there are about 300,000 assignments available on every subject imaginable. Demand Media Studios needs articles on subjects like sports, fitness, cooking, cars, finance, computers, fashion, video games, entertainment, raising children, travel and health to name a few. Whatever your hobbies or expertise, there are Demand Media Studios assignments that you are qualified to write. The problem is finding the perfect assignments for you among the thousands you don't want.
Is Demand Media Studios a good way to start a writing career?
It can be. Demand Media Studios offers aspiring writers an opportunity to be
published and read by millions of
people. Their websites get about 80 million unique visitors every month. However, since your work will remain on the Internet forever, it
is important to avoid mistakes that will be costly to your writing
career in the future.
Build a writing portfolio at your convenience.
Is Demand Media Studios just for American writers?
It used to be, but in 2010 they started accepting writers from Canada and the UK. They might soon start accepting writers from India, Australia, New Zealand and other English speaking countries. Be warned, however. Demand Media Studios requires all writers to write for an American audience regardless of where they are from. There are very specific things foreign writers need to know to succeed with Demand Media Studios. Read the review from a UK writer in the Testimonial section below.
Why should I listen to you?
I have been with Demand Media Studios since its infancy and I am possibly the most knowledgeable contributor they have ever had. Here is a list of my Demand Media Studios accomplishments:
I have worked closely with the Demand Media Studios staff on a numerous special projects.

What can you teach me that I couldn’t figure out myself?
Quite a bit. My extensive experience in journalism and with Demand Media Studios give me insights not available to the public. I show you:
-
How to get accepted. A large percentage of applicants are
rejected as writers but never know why. I use my experience as a Demand
Studios application reviewer to show you how to get approved even if you
are not highly educated or have professional writing experience. Read
this book BEFORE applying to Demand Media Studios to avoid rejection. I also
show you how to reapply if you were rejected in the past.
-
How to get the best assignments. Some assignments pay a
lot more than others while others are much more fun to write. Some will
make you much more money over the long run. I will show you the fast
and easy way to get the best assignments and make the most money.
- How to avoid costly article rewrites and rejections. Nothing is more frustrating than having a copy editor send back your work then not getting paid for it. I show you how to get your articles past the copy editors the first time so you don't waste time and money.
- How to write in the style that Demand Media Studios is looking for.
There are tricks to successfully writing each format. Learning these tips is especially important for
non-journalists and writers from outside the United States who are
unfamiliar with the American writing style.
-
How to make the most money in the shortest amount of time.
Follow this proven system to make thousands of dollars per month working
just a few hours a day. I will also show you how to maximize residual
income so you continue to get paid for your writing far into the future.
-
How to make the most from revenue share. I show you a single article that took 30 minutes to write that paid $317.54 in revenue share income in a single month alone! That income added up month after month! This single article paid me about $4,000 since it was published! (See the screen captures below) It was later sold with others for a five figure settlement!

Why should I buy this book?
Because it can save you a lot of time and make you a lot of money. The
Demand Media Studios universe is vast and takes a long time to figure out.
Up to half of those who apply to Demand Media Studios are rejected. Those who are accepted will often toil an hour or more writing a single article only to have it returned by a copy editor demanding rewrites. The writer might spend another hour fixing the article only to have it rejected entirely. They are paid nothing for all their hard work. Even if the rewrite is accepted, the pay rate is cut in half because it took twice as long to write it.
The Demand Studio Secrets book shows you exactly what you need to do to write your articles quickly and get them past the copy editors the first time. This saves you time, reduces frustration and makes you a lot more money. If knowledge from the book prevents just one rewrite, then it will have paid for itself.
Many freelancers have quit their day jobs and gone full time with Demand Media Studios after reading the book. See the Demand Studio Secrets forum and the Letters from Readers page to see what readers of the book are saying.

The quality of my Demand Media Studios work from my scorecard.
Are you trying to rip me off?
Not at all. There is quite a bit of chatter on the Internet about the Demand Studio Secrets book. Writers are understandably cautious, but some are downright paranoid. Some uninformed blog entries suggests the author is either a
hawk or a vulture preying on writers. The comments come from people who admit they never read the book. (Click to see their blog) Do a little research and make up your own mind. The website CashCampfire.com is performing a "Demand Studios Work Challenge." They read the book, applied the information and reviewed the results.

The quantity of my Demand Media Studios work with a 10% rewrite rate and 0% rejection rate.
My accomplishments as a journalist and with Demand Media Studios are well documented. No one can say that I don't know what I am talking about. The 311 page book only costs $29.99, which is what you can make on Demand Media Studios in about one hour. In exchange you get proven short cuts to money making success with Demand Media Studios. You still have to do the work, but you wont suffer through the agonizing learning curve that forces many writers to give up after a few assignments. Plus, I reveal my insider money making secrets that
other writers never figure out on their own. Readers report dramatically higher earnings after reading the book. Listen to those who have actually read it and benefited from the knowledge. Check out the Demand Studio Secrets forum, the Letters from Readers page and read these testimonials:
"My application was rejected three times by Demand Studios before I sought help from Mr. Ninomiya. After downloading his book, he took time out of his schedule to personally review my new application, not once, but a handful of times. He responded promptly to each email and because of him I was accepted on my next attempt. As soon as I was able to log in, I consulted his book, and within a week received payment for my first article."
Daniel Sole
"An excellent book . . . just one or two of his suggestions paid for my copy within about 30 minutes of reading it. I rarely buy ebooks, as most I've seen are not really too helpful. Demand Studio Secrets has been a pleasant (and lucrative) exception to the rule."
Hugo, DSS Forums
"I was ignorant of the more staunch guidelines that Demand Studios demand (pun intended!) and therefore was very naive about what I was getting tangled up in. Although of course all the information exists on their website itself, it is an exceptional person, either from Great Britain or the U.S.A, who will be able to put in the necessary time to read through all of it. Your manual is a VASTLY superior way of fully understanding exactly what is expected. I don't think I would have been able to make the successful transition from U.K to U.S writing styles in a realistic timescale - and would probably have given up - without feeling "Armed With Knowledge" after reading the D.S.S book."
Simon Hillam, United Kingdom
"I’ve found the whole book useful, though one of the most astounding things I picked up from the eBook was that you can actually get promoted on Demand Studios. Kent shares how he is often asked to participate in special projects for Demand Studios, has access to assignments that pay $100 per project, has an increased assignment limit of over 50, is asked on many occasions to attend special Demand Studios events, and how to become as successful as he is by making Demand Studios a full-time career. After finishing the entire book, my mind started doing cartwheels just thinking about what could be achieved, whereas I would have had no idea it was possible to achieve so much if I hadn’t read this eBook."

"I purchased your Ebook on Demand Studios Secrets recently, and I literally have found it to be life-changing. I had originally intended to just write an occasional article for Demand for a few extra dollars. After reading your Ebook, my eyes were opened to a whole new world! I now realize that the earning potential is huge and I see a whole new world of possibilities. I can literally make as much or as little as I want, it's all up to me. My wife and I are now working on plans to work together towards using my writing to work towards a long-term goal that could allow us to live anywhere we want and all we need to do it is a laptop computer and the internet! Your information was worth every penny and much more!"
Paul Elsass, Washington
"I purchased and enjoyed your straight forward comments on how to succeed at DS. It will be my bible as I move forward with DS. I'm a relative newbie with 56 articles accepted and four very early efforts rejected. Your comments and guidelines should accelerate my progress considerably.
Edward Millis, California
"The book was informative and helpful. I never thought about making a lot of money through Demand Studios until I read your book. I was just doing it to make a supplemental income and for enjoyment. It's pleasurable to get paid a lot of money to write about topics that interest me and to know that copy editors are thoroughly reviewing it."
Melinda Ho, New York
"What a great help this book is--full of insider secrets and practical advice. I have been a published writer for almost 30 years and have published 35 novels. I recommend this book for pros and beginners alike. It's worth every penny."
Beverly Bird, New Jersey
"I have been a writer on Demand Studios for nearly a year. I have looked everywhere but you will not find better advice on being a successful contributor for Demand Studios than Kent's book."
Martin Williams, Philadelphia
“This eBook is a must have for anyone who wants to start making serious money on Demand Studios. It shows you everything you need know about making money on Demand Studios and shows how freelance writers can maximize their earnings there. The author of this book, Kent Ninomiya, is very kind and interactive. He will guide you through the standards of Demand Studios. I strongly recommend this eBook.” Juderson J., Port St. Lucie
"I highly recommend buying this eBook. I got rejected by Demand Studios nine times. After reading this eBook, I knew what they were looking for and got accepted right away. Many people are rejected from Demand Studios because they do not know what type of content they are looking for. This eBook provides precise and accurate information on how Demand Studios works. This eBook is also recommended for current Demand Studios members, because it shows techniques on how to be successful, and how to prevent burdensome rewrites." Jean J., Florida
