Get Paid To Write At Bukisa

I found a new site where you can write for money.  The site is called Bukisa, and it seems pretty good so far.  It’s a lot like Helium, as you get paid based on the number of views to your work.  However, through this site, your earnings are also based on the site’s rating index.  For example, if the site’s index is at 4 and you’re content receives 1,000 unique views, you receive $4.

There are a lot of different topics to choose from, as well as different publication choices, such as text articles or videos.  Text articles must be at least 250 words in length, but no more than 1500 words.  Videos should be no more than 100mb in size.  If you’d rather add an audio clip or a slide show presentation, these options are also available.

Due to the fact that this site is still rather new, there are still some bugs that need to be worked out here and there.  For the most part, however, I’m pretty happy with this place.  I have read some negative press about Bukisa, like you have to give up your rights to your work once published on the site.  According to the site’s CTO, Simon Gelfand, this simply is not true.  Everything you post on the site remains your property.

Minimum payout is set at $10, and is paid through PayPal.  Payments are sent within 30 days of whatever month you reach payout level.  Basically, it means that if you reach payout on the 14th of December, you’ll get paid by the end of January.  Site revenues are made through a wide array of venues, including text ads, banner ads, and email marketing, just to name a few.

I can’t say whether this site is going to last or not, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m pretty excited.  I’ve published 2 different articles on the site and have already had quite a few views.  As time goes by and I add new content, I’ll be able to tell if this site is worth the time or not.  For now, I’m happy with everything I’ve seen.

Make Money Writing Short Stories

There are literally thousands of great writers around the Internet who have written some amazing articles and powerful stories, but seem to have trouble getting their work published.  I’ve found a place where you can publish your work and earn money each time your work is read by others.

Triond.com allows writers to publish their work, free of charge.  There are a few guidelines, but they’re rather easy to follow.  Each piece you publish must be your own work and cannot have been published anywhere else, either online or in print.

All items must be approved by the site’s admin and each writer receives 50% of revenues generated by their work.  Payments are sent out via check or paypal.  Payout is $0.50 if paid through Paypal, or $50.00 if sent by check.

Unlike other sites, Triond.com allows writers to publish either fiction or non-fiction and still receive payment.  Also, every piece published is able to receive royalties for as long as it remains on the site.  One article could potentially earn the writer for several years, as long as others are stopping by to read.

Triond.com is a global company, meaning that anyone can join, and submissions may be published in any language.  There are a few content restrictions, however Triond tries to allow room for creative license.

If you’ve got a drawer full of old stories or poems that you’d like to publish and earn a little money from, then sign up with Triond.com and add a new chapter to your earning story.
