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, though 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 $50, 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 14^th 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.
