I just recently joined a site called readbud.com, they pay you to read articles. I am curious as to if any myloggers have been paid by this site or is a scam.

Oh my there are hundreds of discussions here of where you can search the myLot search for the discussion where you will see the many if not thousands of members complaining about the site.
What usually happens is that when a member is nearing the $50 cash out the articles get lessened. Then when you do reach the $50 minimum you will never hear from them again. There is only one payment proof on the net which is suppose to be legitimate. But I have seen many, many complain that no support question has ever been answered even after a year waiting on their payment. Some day after a year you log in to your account and it will be at zero.
Best not to waste efforts as I have also heard that the articles are not even legit as they do not have the rights to be publishing them there.

Thank you, I thought it was a scam and I am surprised that the site has not been shut down. The articles are bogus you say, I wonder where these articles come from, they are most likely copied from someone elses hard work. Its just too bad that there are people out there that are always trying to scam.

It´s a scam site. It has never paid anyone. But there are lots of legite sites online and it´s easier to earn some money with them. I earn about $100 a month with only international sites. I don´t invest but exchange links with friends, usually here through PM. We both earn, but not the amount that readbud offers for referrals. I think it´s better $5 real than $50 imaginary ones.

Thank you, I thought it was a scam, its just to bad i spent my time there, but people will catch on and the site won't last. You say you make $100 a month can you share your secret. Also what do you mean when you say you exchange links with friends?

I understand what you are saying. I am in the process of making a site now that I will need downlines, so I will keep you in mind and of course I will do the same for you.

I had joined readbud and had spent a lot of time reading and rating the articles presented. The articles are quite good, quite informative. I accumulated some earnings by rating the articles, but had never been actually paid. I am not wasting my time on the site any more.

Sorry to hear that, and don't feel bad because the same thing happened to me. I had over $30 in my account. Yes some of the articles where interesting to read, but I was reading under false pretense, which is not fair and shame on them. I am curious as to where the articles came from and if they where stolen, you never know, bottom line readbud is a scam and i will do all I can do to stop the site from scamming other people.

I was on readbud, long time ago. I reach minimum payment, and request, but never get paid. So I can tell you from my own experience, this site is big scam. Don`t waste time on it, find other legit site and put your time on it. Good luck.

Its too bad that this is happening, I believe everyones time is precious to them and to waste time on a site that had no intentions on paying is just absurd. I had a feeling the site was a scam in the begining but gave it a try anyways, only to fird out that my intuition was right.

Yeah I guess so, from the resposes I got, I was not the only fool that spent their time on a site that promised to pay, I am just glad I did not get to the $50 and ask for payment only to wait like a fool, because it never would of came.

Thank you for your input, Yeah I accumilated $30.53 and they do not allow cash out until you reach $50, I thought it was a scam from the begining, but gave the site a chance anyways, shame on the person responsible for readbud.com, but you know what the site won't be successful and will be taken down. Karma Karma Karma...
