FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Who writes these articles?

Ready-to-Go Articles is a division of Claire Communications, a company that also offers various customized newsletter creation services. Claire Communications works with a pool of about eight writers, people who've written professionally for coaches and therapists for years. Claire Communications' managing editor assigns 45-50 new articles a year to these writers in a work-for-hire arrangement. In this way, we are constantly adding articles to this site.

How many times do you sell the same article?

We cap sales of individual articles at 250 so that not every Tom, Dick and Harry (or Sue, Beth and Mary) will be using the same articles. Once it's been sold 250 times, it gets pulled off the site and not re-sold. You are always welcome, once you have purchased the articles, to modify them as you wish. (See below.)

Do I own the articles I purchase?

Although we retain the ownership and copyright of all the articles, we are selling you the "license" to use the articles in any of these ways: you can use them as yours in a print or electronic publication, on your website, on your blog, etc.; put your name on the articles and include information about you and your business in a "Resource Box" at the bottom of the articles; add your own voice to the articles by editing, changing, adding or removing anything you like.

We'd prefer if you include this at the bottom of each article: “Author’s content used under license, © 2008 Claire Communications.” That names you as the author, but indicates our ownership. (It can be very tiny and very light.) Truthfully, no one notices these things, but they serve clarity. If anyone WERE to ask, just answer that you have help writing your articles. Everyone appreciates a professional so on the ball that he or she outsources key tasks!

Are the articles exclusively mine?

The only way to guarantee exclusivity of an article is to use our “You Talk/I’ll Write” service (which you’ll find on the home page). Then the resulting article is yours alone...even the copyright belongs to you.

Can I use the articles in a book or an e-book?

No, you may not use them to create a collection, compilation or book, and you may not sell, transfer or license them to others. You may, however, join our affiliate program and earn money every time someone buys the articles using your affiliate link. Click here to do that.

Do you write articles on requested subjects?

Yes, we do. An article written using our You Talk/I’ll Write service costs $175. Otherwise, if we need to do research on your behalf in order to write the article, the charge is $250 for a 500-word article. Contact us to inquire further about this service.

When I purchase an article online, how does it come to me, or do I copy and paste the contents from your website?

After completing your purchase, you are taken to a download page. You just click on the title link(s), and each article is downloaded to you as a Word document.

Can I submit these articles to online article directories?

Yes and no. You are not prohibited from doing so, as long as the line “Author’s content used under license, © Claire Communications” remains on the article. However, article directories may have guidelines against publishing articles to which you don't have exclusive rights or which have duplicate content. So if you change the article enough, go ahead and submit it. After all, if everyone submitted similar content, article directory owners and those who use articles from the directories would all suffer.

This, of course, doesn't stop you from using these articles in dozens of other ways and places where you want professionally written articles that serve your market and help you lighten your business taskload.
