With millions of sites on the Internet, it can be difficult to pull readers to yours. It's helpful to establish yourself as something of an expert in the writing community - as a go-to person. Plan your writing throughly You probably recall your gradeschool teachers telling you: “Plan, then write.” This tip makes good sense. Planning your writing allows you to form a logical structure that is...

When I first started with Bukisa, I was a bit concerned. The Bukisa Index (amount paid per 1000 content views) seemed to be on a downward spiral. This trend had me wondering how long the site would last. Many such sites start off with great ideas and pay very well - only to have their earnings dwindle over time for lack of proper planning. Today, however, the site seems to be doing very well and g...

Bukisa is one of the several write-to-earn websites out there right now. Users can post articles of 250-1500 words and earn based on the number of views the content receives. I joined Bukisa in February of 2009 out of curiosity. Since then, the site has gone through many changes - including a new look. From everything I've read and seen, Bukisa pays on time every time. As of this writing, the mini...

As a continuation of the saga of my freelance writing journey, I decided to give HubPages a try. Overall, I must say I like the site.

Upon being published, a hub has a rating of 50. If the hub's content is useful and unique, the hub's score wil...

In my search for a new write-to-earn website, I have decided to give HubPages a try. Some of my friends swear by HubPages. I don't have enough experience there to make an educated judgment. HubPages pays via Google Adsense and Kontera ads. Writers are paid by Google and Kontera directly. So, we'll see how it goes. I will report my earnings in the coming days and weeks. ...

I have been writing for eHow for quite some time. At first it was paying off quite nicely. Then, in mid March, I noticed earnings were dropping to pitiful levels. Adding insult to injury - so to speak - eHow has been deleting articles from the site claiming they violate the terms of use. Now, let me just say I understand the need to control content on the site. If there were not limits to...

I have been writing for Bukisa for the fun of it since February. I am finally starting to make a little money. It’s not much at all, but it’s fun to see where it goes. Last month (April) I had 1,120 unique views of my content and 735 views in my network. I know, I know…it’s not much. My content earned me $3.99 and My network earned me a whopping $0.63. That’s $4.6...
