Writing Online for MONEY is a Waste of Time!

I've been writing online now since April, 2013, and I think I can say with certainty that if you write online with the goal of making money, you're wasting your time.  Get a real job!

These are the sites I've written for, and the amount earned to date:

www.bubblews.com  -  $50.00, but they owe me an additional $75.00 they have never paid.  (Jerks!)

www.fullofknowledge.com  -  zippo.  Nice site, but too hard to earn money from.

www.postanyarticle.com  -  zippo.  I had hopes for this site, as they claimed to pay for any amount, but that just turned out to be hype.  update 10/21/2013  - it appears PAA is gonna come thru and actually pay!  My sincere apologies to the powers-that-be at PostAnyArticle.

Write online if, (like me!), you have a psychological compulsion to do so; just don't expect to make a living from it!

As alway, note that many of our FoK articles are cleaned-up reposts of articles we originally posted as drafts on Bubblews.

Posts to FullofKnowledge, July/2013

As our posts to FullofKnowledge, (aka FoK), increase, we will need to provide links to them as well.  

Note that many of our FoK articles are cleaned-up reposts of articles we originally posted on Bubblews.  Fok is edited, (Bubblews is not), so sometimes our prose needs a tweak here or there to appease the editors.

Without further ado, here are the links to all our July/2013 FoK articles:

Posts to Bubblews - June/2013, July/2013, and August/2013

Following are links to the articles we posted on Bubblews during the summer months of 2013.  As you may know, due to lack of payment issues our posting frequency went way, way down.  Hopefully with their latest software upgrade Bubblews will be paying consistently in the future.  (And if you believe that, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you!)

Bubblews is Gonna Pay Us!!

Wow!  Will wonders never cease?

After reading comments from several other online writers, we decided to give Bubblews one more try.  In the time we had been absent from the site, we had still managed to accumulate $18.00, ("earning" money on Bubblews is easy!), so it wasn't too difficult to push this up to the $25.00 redemption limit.

On August 26th we hit the redemption button, and .... nothing happened,  No payment, no email.

Figuring we were just getting stiffed again, we went about our business.  And then .... on August 29th an email arrived from PayPal saying we had a pending payment due on September 4th!!

Whippee!!  I guess the Bubble hasn't quite popped just yet.

So ..... we are resuming posting articles to Bubblews.  We will continue to post to FullofKnowledge, because even though that site is orders of magnitude harder to earn money on than Bubblews, the folks who run and edit it are very cool and helpful.  And when the silly mood strikes us, we will also be posting to PostAnyArticle, which like Bubblews is an unedited site, and if run honestly, may take away some of their business.

So stand back, and watch the words flow!

Who We Are on FoK

This be us on FoK:  http://fullofknowledge.com/author/arph001/

That's easier than listing all our articles!

When will Bubblews "POP"?

We give up!  We have two redemptions from Bubblews now floating out in limbo.  And the news that we read about that site is not at all encouraging.  It appears that Google is now frowning on them to such an extent that they are downgrading sites that even link to Bubblews!

So ...... we are leaving Bubblews, and heading over to FullofKnowledge, aka FoK.  Unlike Bubblews, it's an edited site, so we may have trouble posting odes to our toenail fungus there.  Bummer!

Anyway ........ here are the links to all the FoK articles we've published so far.  I really, really hope this site is more stable than Bubblews, because Phred is getting very impatient for a new bowl!
