Three Weeks With Bukisa

Well, I've reached the three-week mark with Bukisa. What's been happening?

I've posted 23 articles, I have 12 people in my network and, so far, I've netted $1.36 in earnings.

Now, granted, the earnings are small and some of these articles were published only yesterday. I've also been busy writing and haven't had time to bookmark all of these articles. I am giving it time to weigh the earning potential. I've read about a number of writers who have done well with Bukisa through sustained effort.

Looking at my content, one thing that stands out is that I need to work at getting more traffic to my articles.

This morning, in fact, I wrote an article about using free article directories to drive traffic to your Bukisa articles. This article is in the publishing que so keep a watch out for when it goes live. This is a strategy I've used successfully in the past to gain traffic to articles I've published at other sites.

Bukisa earnings are contingent upon traffic, so to make a success of writing for Bukisa means looking at traffic generation methods.

Additionally, it involves helping those under you to stay motivated and to evaluate the long-term potential of Bukisa. I wrote the following articles to encourage and strengthen my network:

• Getting Started With Bukisa: 7 Steps to a Successful Bukisa Business

• Strengthening Your Bukisa Network: 4 Steps to Success

One person in my network, webichanga, has been writing excellent articles about living in a haunted house and about ferrets and how to care for them. Webichanga seems to grasp that long-term gain comes through effort and good writing.

I recently read a very good article over at The Brainy Money Blog. Josh writes: "If I can get 20 views/article/day on average, my 50 articles will produce 1000 unique hits per day. . . this means that (hypothetically) I should make $3.65 every day once I’m done with this experiment. If I succeed, this will give me about $100/month in income.

I like his figures.

Here's a sampling of some of my recent Bukisa articles:

• 21 Terrific Everyday Tips

• Tea--A Refreshing Drink for All Occasions

• The Bukisa Article Widget: Where to Find it, How to Use it

• Automatic Writing--A Unique Writing Method

• Writings That Have Predicted Events Before They Happened

• Random Event Generators and the Global Consciousness Project

• Boisterous Bailey--A Talkative African Grey Parrot

If you are looking for ways to earn money without having to pay money to get started, Bukisa may be a good fit, if you can produce quality articles relatively quickly.

I will write another post when I reach the one-month mark with Bukisa.
