How much do you make on page views from your writing sites?

March 21, 2009 6:06pm CST
I am a member of several writing sites and I have been monitoring how much each of them pays me on a daily basis on average. Helium is by far my best earner, and I have made a total of $5 there so far this month on page views. Triond has earned me 34 cents on page views, and Associated Content has made me around 30 cents too. My aim is to make a $1 in page views from each of these sites by the summer time. Do you think I can do it? How much do you make in page views per month from your writing sites, and have you any aims to increase this?

I got $18 from Associated content and $5 from today.com, I used to write squidoo lenses but they never made me a penny so I gave up on squidoo, I don't really understand how squidoo works, they say you get paid by the rank of your lens, but one day my lens is ranked 1,000 and the next day is 10,000... I don't know, and now I'm having problems with AC because they want to verify accounts by phone or that w- form, I'm not a U.S. citizen I don't know what that form is!! So they holding my money for this month, and I was making a lot with AC, too bad... I'll stick with today.com, the link is on my page if anyone is interested in joining under my referral, I get $5 for each referral...

I didnt do with well with today.com they stopped my payment and said they wont be paying me $1 for each post from now on simply because I wasnt getting good enough traffic. It is a pity as I had $12 in my account there. What is your today.com blog on? As for AC I am from the UK and it was easy to verify my number. They show you the codes to put in for your country,followed by your number. I even used my mobile number and they called. Squidoo did pay me very well, my highest payment was $13 a month. Your payment depends on the lensrank at the end of the month.

Were you not able to get it to work with your phone number? All I did was type in my phone number and within a second I got a text message with the code number (I didn't need the W-form.) Though, I an a U.S. citizen, so a foreign number could be the problem. I would email AC about the problem, so you can still get paid for what you have on there..

Hi, verification by phone is not a problem, key in your country code, area code and mobile number. You will receive the sms in an instant and you got to key in the code within 5 minutes. I'm not from US too, and I got the account verified. Try it, shouldn't have any problem if you got all the numbers key in correctly.

At Associated Content I am up to $1.75 per 1000 page views. It starts out at $1.50, and eventually I can get to $2.00 per 1000 page views. Which right now brings me to a couple of dollars every day. Which has been a nice increase of pay. It is doubling my monthly payout for page views. So I was making from $15.00 to $25.00 a month, now that will double. Looking forward to it. To increase this, I will submit a lot more articles to get even more page views.

I am not making very much lately but I am struggling to write too.. Been just writing in my own forums trying to motivate myself into writing more ebooks... The most I made on pay sites for writing is right here on mylot I one time made 100$ in three months through posting and replying here..... They say to write what you know is the best to write about... I know alot on many things but it tends to be things that people think are myths or in the lines of paranormal.. Part of it is my walk as a contrary Shaman.... As well as my experiences with things that to people are rare or supernatural which in my life has always been there and my normal.... I been trying to write books to sell but the only one I really completed so far was my DNatureofDTrain's Poetry book. Well, I hope you can do it with your writing sites work hard and you may surprise yourself :) ... But also be reasonable and time and pace yourself too so you do not hit burn out.... I keep hitting burn out as I am trying so hard to earn money to save my home... But my parents have potential buyers so I feel crushed... and like its a hopeless all the work I put forth.. Please im me your referal links so I can check out the writing programs... too. - DNatureofDTrain

The Rates have changed since then... But.. At that time I was replying to 200-500 discussions a day and starting 2-5 new discussions... I worked on mylot for 8 hrs a day as if it was a real job I did good once and made 5$ in one day but I have never been able to get up to that much again but I also lately do not have the energy to work the site that well I am stressed and scatter brained right now... You also have to rate comments too.. I did good as I focused on topics I know alot about... as well as randomly replying along the way. - DNatureofDTrain

You mean $100 just from mylot? That's a very big sum for 3 months effort. The least amount I made was 1 cent, and the most I ever made on mylot was 50 cents. At the rate that I'm posting and replying, it still take about 6 weeks to make minimum payout. How do you manage to make $100? Do you upload a lot of pictures or have a lot of active referrals?

I was earning over $1 a day from Helium in January. My earnings are now back to what they were in December, even though I have added more articles, so I've only made $12 from page views so far this month. I understand other Helium writers have also experienced a reduction in earnings, because of the economic recession. I'm pleased that some of my newer articles are doing well and these should continue to add more to my monthly income. I expect to get back to $1 a day soon. I can double my earnings with upfront payments each month. I always earn more than $60 in a month at Helium, without any Marketplace sales.

I joined one writing site only. It is Triond. I earned about 40cents in 20 days, I don't know whether it is good or not. I will see whether Helium is good for me to write tonight~ Thanks~

On Helium, I have made a little over $10 so far this month on page views, so still less than $1/day. I am trying to get to cash out ($25) each month, now that I am writing for them on a daily basis. And, of course, I keep adding to my article numbers. I have also started re-posting my articles to Associated Content, and have been making more in page views over there as well. On AC, however, the amount is even smaller. So far this month, only $1.75, so you can see that Helium works much better for me. Associated Content is better with the initial payout, but then again, I have far fewer articles on AC than Helium. Good luck on your writing...and earning!

I only have Triond and it seems it dwindles. Unlike before when I started, I was able to reach the minimum amount already in several days but now it would take more than a month to even reach the minimum payout. This month, I just past half way and it's almost at the end of the month. I just hope that I will be able to reach the minimum.
