Quick Question For Mods
 

Now that I'm 300 plus posts in and generally (or so I hope) considered a decent member of the forums, would I be able to link to an article I wrote for an online magazine? I get paid for it if I get enough views and comments, but obviously I want to ask before posting it.

So, can I? :)

Yeah go on then. I want to get paid for stuff too :(

No problem here.

I'd like a cut

It's a website called Triond.

What they do is they take your submission (could be anything, from a rant, a list, a review, a news article, a story) and they publish it in one of their partner websites. They give the article's writer a portion of the advertising revenue that they get, similar to Bukisa.

You get paid via PayPal.

It's good if you want to fight the recession : P

Is that about right? do you need a paypal account to get paid?

This looks like a job for someone less awkward than myself. . . . .

have you actually made any money from this?

Big3: You do need Paypal to get paid, or something that allows money orders, like Western Union I believe.

CA: I've made some, but not enough to call the service the best thing ever. It definitely takes time.

like how much?

doubt it's worth your time, read an article that said you can make 1000 dollars if you have 10,000 articles that get 100 views each, but most people seem to make less than two dollars a month.

Less than a dollar so far. But I'm desperate enough to have faith in it. Maybe I need to write more articles or something, but it's just as CA said, it's a lot of effort for little payoff, though it's a good way to encourage writing, and you're technically getting paid something for it, so it doesn't all just feel like it's for no reason.

Hell, I just finished an essay for the site. Let's see how that does.

Hmm, I quite enjoy the encouragement you get to write, obviously you shouldn't do it for the money, but rather do it for the inspiration.

Yeah, I've been posting stuff to it.
