Bukisa-is it any good?

I have been seriously thinking about joining one of these 'pay you a little to write articles' sites. so i have put words like 'Associated Content' and Bukisa is the search box on mylot to see what folks are saying about these things. I found this discussion among others. After reading what i'm reading, i am now leaning toward forgetting about the whole thing. It's just too little money for the amount of work involved.

hi Goldie, A very good friend of mine had an account on bukisa and she had over 25 referral but as soon as she was about to reach her minimum balance for pay out , they deleted her account without any reason at all. I dont know how it has fared with some other persons here and i hope they have a better experience than my friend. I think she is now publishing her blogs on hub pages and she is happy with that site.

Hello, Goldie. I have articles on Triond and Bukisa, but they hardly earn anything. I write exclusively for Helium these days. It takes a while to work out how the site functions, but it's worth it. I'm a 5 starred writer, and I earn over $200 a month for writing between 60 and 100 articles. Some days I can do about 6, other days its one or two, and about once a week or so I'll have a 'no writing' day, so I don't spend hours slaving over a hot keyboard. There's plenty of help and support available there as well. You can post your Triond and Bukisa articles there as well. Take a look.

Do you promote you articles when they are published.Triond notifies you where it has been published.Followw the link to your article then use the share icon and post it to twitter,Facebook,myspace Digg etc Whatever social network you have account with,its all about Traffic to your article.

Hello there goldie, I joined Bukisa in July of 2009 and by November 2009, I already reached payout for which I got paid in January of 2010. Now I have almost 180 articles there and I reached payout every month since then. Below is the payment proof. If you rely only traffic from search engine, you have to make sure your articles are unique and original. But if you republish your articles from other sites, you have to use other methods to promote your articles like social bookmarking and social networking meaning you have to promote your articles to your network friends. This is because when search engine robots crawl your articles and find another article which is similar, the search engine will put your later articles in the supplemental search results. So they won't appear in the main search engine. If you need to republish, rewrite a little. Don't copy and paste. Search engines won't like it. Since Bukisa is the first writing site which I participate actively in, all of my articles are original and unique and I get quite good ranking for them in search engines. Even though Bukisa does allow for you to republish your articles from other sites, you must actively promote those articles to get the traffic and therefore earn from your articles. Otherwise, your articles won't get any page views. You can also try to participate actively in the community. Comment on others' articles and the writer would reciprocate by viewing your articles.

in my experience i have tried triond before but i didnt earn very much from writing articles.. for triond i think it all depends on how much traffic you get to your articles.. like how many people view and rate and comment your articles the more views, rates and comments you get on your articles that you have written, the more money you will earn from it. good luck with earning.

I've also made more with Triond than Bukisa though I can't say I'm a super-active article writer on either site. (I keep trying to do better though!) Are you publishing your articles on Triond first, though? If so, that could be the major reason you're making more money there. Search engines frown on duplicate content and will direct most visitors to one version of an article (most likely the first published one). You might try publishing unique articles rather than duplicates and see if you do better on Bukisa that way.

I am also in both Triond and Bukisa. I post in Triond first then in Bukisa. I am also earning in both Bukisa and Triond. I think the key here is on the tags you attach to your articles and the position you get on the search engines. The higher the article gets in the search engine the more views you get. And promoting your articles help too but I think i am not doing well promoting because I am just earning cents (well for me it is okay since I have not really promoted my articles ) Having friends over those two sites helps too.
