Reader Insights on Bukisa Content Site

Published by athlyn at 4:34 pm under Paying Opportunities Edit This

I mentioned Bukisa in a previous post as another content site that writers could utilize to net earnings. I asked for reader feedback and received a good response.

My personal opinion, after checking out this site a few weeks ago, is that anyone serious about being paid for their content should run in the opposite direction. First, their money setup is pretty typical of sites that use inflated predictions to make people think they’re going to make tons of money. Multi-level payments are just another form of MLM.

Have you looked at the info about copyright? Your material will be available for anyone, anywhere to use, whether you want them to or not. The site is headquartered in Israel, which means that if you have any legal arguments with them, you’re out of luck. Payout level is $50.00. That’s an almost impossible sum for the average writer to reach within any reasonable time.

I write for triond and bukisa, and have done well,if you keep posting interesting material,you’re bound to get paid well.I have had numerous friends and fans that like both sites as well, If you want to get good viewership,it takes effort yes but in the end it’s worth it. Bookmark your published work anywhere you can, my favorite sites to bookmark my work are Stumbleupon,multiply,current,and myspace.

I have also posted my links to Xanga and Shoutwire,although I get good views on shoutwire I notice people there are not too friendly for the most part so it’s not the greatest place.

  • Cantana’s point about copyright is well taken and if this is a concern, Bukisa may not be a fit for you. (I know I stopped writing for a similar site, Helium, because I couldn’t remove my articles.)
  • John offers some good insights about content writing: doing the necessary legwork so that your work has reach and you reap greater earnings.

Most content sites offer advantages and disadvantages and the onus is on the writer to decide which opportunity is a good fit.

My personal insights on revenue share content writing?

While netting you smaller article earnings per article, these opps. pay off over the longterm because earnings are ongoing–which means that in the final analysis, you earn far more per article.

Writing for the sites mentioned here requires patience but you do get paid for your efforts.
