Bubblews

My latest paid to write addiction is Bubblews.  Bubblews is a paid to write site where you write short posts (bubblews) that must be a minimum of 400 characters each.  You can paid for each view, like, comment, and social media share that your posts receive.

Bubblews essentially doubles as a social media site as you make connections with the site and your connections will read, like, and comment on your posts (provided you do the same for them.)

Bubblews also places a cap on how many posts you can write per day of 10.

You can redeem your earnings from Bubblews once you have accrued $25.00 worth of earnings.  You can be paid via Paypal, check or pre-paid credit card.

You also receive a nominal fee for referring new members to Bubblews.

I have been actively Bubbling this week and find my earnings accruing with Bubblews at a much faster rate than any other site.  I cashed out two days ago and already I have another $15 in my bank and am hoping to be able to cash out again tomorrow--depending upon how much time I can spend on Bubblews today and tomorrow.

Bubblews is so easy, I find I can write posts as well as interact with my fellow Bubblers accounts while watching TV.  The Bubblews community is great and I find Bubblers are great about reading, commenting on, and liking their connections posts making it very easy to accrue earnings rapidly.

You can check out my Bubblews profile page and posts here and sign-up for Bubblews here.

If you sign-up, please connect with me.  I try very hard to read, comment on and/or like all of my connections posts.  You get notifications of all of your connections posts which makes it much easier to interact with them.

SirGo--A Squidoo Clone & My New Squidoo Alternative?

As Squidoo continues to undergo a number of changes and lock lensmasters' accounts, including my own, many lensmasters are looking for new Squidoo alternatives to transfer their old lenses to.  While there are already many established sites like Wizzley and Hubpages that are great platforms to create pages, they don't have all of the same modules that Squidoo has.  One module in particular that Squidoo has that Wizzley and Hubpages are missing is the "Black Box" module.  It can be found in Zujava, but I'm currently in the Zujava Petting Zu and have been waiting for an editor to review my leaves for about a month.

I've lost patience with losing income from the dozens of lenses that I spent hours and hours working on.  I have not received a response to my appeal and it is time to move on and publish my lenses elsewhere.  Some of my lenses will go to Hubpages, Wizzley, and even new Blogger blogs, but a few are formatted in such a way that I want to be able to keep the same formatting and use a "Black Box" module.  Enter SirGo.

SirGo has the "Black Box" module (although it is called the "Notice" module).  I decided to use SirGo to republish my earnings lenses and started with my lens about my Yahoo! Voices earnings.  SirGo is a bit slow to publish and is missing some key modules such as the link list module.  I was a bit frustrated with SirGo as it freezes a lot and I found it did not work well with Chrome and it was better to use Firefox for publishing my SirGo page.  You can see my first SirGo page here and compare it with the old Squidoo lens using the Wayback Machine here.

I'm not sure I am settled on SirGo as my new Squidoo alternative and I will probably test it out and see how some of my pages do on SirGo versus other writing platforms.  You make money with SirGo with Google Adsense and Amazon Associates.

You an start making pages with SirGo by going here.

What is your Squidoo alternative?
