Hello everyone. In today's post, I'll be discussing the Bukisa Index and how it affects writer payments.
The Bukisa Index is a revenue sharing model that offers writers a certain amount USD for every 1000 visits to their published content. In simple terms, if the Bukisa Index is $4.00 per 1000 unique views, you will receive this amount in earnings.
The Bukisa Index is updated once a month, based on the overall performance on a number of revenue streams. The higher the Bukisa Index, the more money writers earn.
Bukisa is gaining traction online which means more views of published content.
Bukisa continues to offer the highest CPM revenue share so it is a good site for those looking to earn revenue. Content creators can join Bukisa to add to their online income.
In coming posts I'll be discussing bookmarking options and the Bukisa article widget.

The Bukisa Index: Higher Writer Payments?
Monday, April 27, 2009
Getting Started With Bukisa
I mentioned yesterday that I had decided to join Bukisa and that I would share my experiences with readers.
So far, I'm happy with the site offerings. I published my first article today and found the online writing window easy to navigate. A helpful feature was the word count down in the lower left hand corner. I still haven't figured out how to get the spellchecker working. While I see one, I couldn't get it winkled out.
Articles need to be at least 250 words but can be longer than this. I found myself having to chop my first article as it exceeded standard online article lengths.
Bukisa Features I Like
- The profile feature allows writers to point to their other sites, which is a form of free advertising.
- You can also link to your other articles. This is always an important consideration when deciding to write for a revenue share opportunity. If you can link to your other online articles, you get paid for your primary article plus earn revenue when readers click through to your other works.
Keep checking back at this blog because I will continue to update readers on my Bukisa experience.

Writing for Bukisa
Today, I want to discuss the writing site Bukisa. When I first heard about it, I thought I would wait on user feedback and see how Bukisa panned out.
Over time, I've heard good things about Bukisa and many writers have contacted me and related that they are happy with the earning potential.
I decided to join Bukisa. Registration was easy and I was informed that I would receive the standard activation link in an email. While waiting upon that, I got busy and wrote
a short bio and uploaded a picture + added Twitter to my Bukisa account.
Incidentally, Triond now has functionality so that users can also add Twitter--so for both sites, this means that each time you publish something, it is automatically added to Twitter. Since activating automatic Twitter updates, my number of Twitter followers has grown substantially.
Getting back to Bukisa, writers receive payment within 30 days of the end of the month in which their earnings reach the minimum level of $10.00USD. Payments are via PayPal.
Best of all, Bukisa is open to non-US residents. If you are from Canada, you may have felt frustrated that many of the online writing opportunities are unavailable to Canadian writers.
While Bukisa recommends original content, you can publish previously published works. I have mixed feelings about this: there's concern about duplicate content and how that relates to Google; as well, I've noticed that article earnings are higher per piece when traffic isn't diverted.
Deciding to publish PPP's is a personal decision. You may have work on a site that isn't performing up to expectations or the site's policies have prevented you from getting paid on your content (for example, Helium's rule about maintaining a star before you receive payments). In these scenarios, you may decide to publish that content on Bukisa so that at least you are earning something for your past efforts.
Writers can submit up to 25 pieces of content daily at Bukisa.
As well, Bukisa has a 3-levels-deep revenue sharing model, so that your earn when you invite others to join Bukisa.
Bukisa allows readers to subscribe to my Bukisa feed
It will be interesting to see how my articles perform at Bukisa and I will keep readers posted.
It's easy to join Bukisa and start on the road to earning for your writing.

Triond Authors Who Won the 10 Runners-Up
For those of us who create online content, we all know that our page views have a direct correlation to revenue earned.
In writing articles for an online audience, it makes sense to identify factors that have helped other authors to achieve high page views, netting them greater earnings for their online content.
In line with this, in today's post, I'm detailing 10 Triond authors who have achieved the highest page views with their Triond articles. In a recent contest, I called for entries based on articles that had the highest page views.
Many writers entered to contest and it became apparent that a number of individuals had worked hard to craft articles that would resonate with a large audience. The winner,
King of Content, was Nelson Doyle.
The Triond authors who pulled in the highest number of page views:
Runners-Up
- Louie Jerome
- B Nelson
- Nobert Soloria Bermosa
- R J Evans
- Anne Lyken Garner
- Darlene McFarlane
- Sidney Hazelton
- Eddiego65
- Evis T
- Ianne
Show of Support
- I encourage Triond writers and readers to Stumble the Contest Results article to get the word out and help these authors build an online presence.
- After studying each article for factors that made it Internet-friendly, please take the time to Stumble, Digg, or Buzz the articles you were most impressed with, sending more traffic to the Runners-Up articles and rewarding the authors.
- I may hold future contests so articles that receive higher page views presently may make the cut in future contests!
It is a good practice to study articles that have garnered high page views so that you can identify factors in general that make for popular online articles and thus increase your own writer earnings.

Chosen for the First Guest Blogger at Articlesbase
I was very pleased that I was contacted by Articlesbase and asked if I would include an excerpt of my article: Article Ideas: Using Who, What, Why, Where, When to Spark Inspiration.
I recently started writing short articles for Articlesbase because I liked the site offerings: long-term exposure for and traffic generation to my other online articles.
Articlesbase allows for linking to a writer's other Internet-based articles, as well as an author bio. This appealed, because the idea of an article, working away in the background for me, once I had done the initial work, made sense.
Articlesbase is a free directory, where interested parties search for articles to use on their websites, in newsletters, on blogs, etc. With the number of Internet sites growing daily, the need for content has never been greater.
Writers can capitalize on this trend by writing articles for Articlesbase, which are then picked up and distributed across the Internet. If these articles contain links to the writer's other articles, the traffic generation potential is unlimited--and it continues for years because articles are never taken off the Articlesbase site.
I liked the sound of that because I find that much of my work is geared to an online audience. While I still have my finger in print opportunities, I also create much online content.
"All things work together for good," as the saying goes. Articlesbase offers a practical service to site owners looking for fresh content and allows writers to send readers to their published works at sites where they earn for page views and/or ad clicks.

KING OF CONTENT
The author contest for Triond writers has come to a close.
The winner has been determined and the winning author, the winning article, and an author interview, detailing how the King of Content reached success with online content writing, can be found at:
Web Content Writing
The last month has been very busy for me. I've spent most of my time involved in Web content writing so I haven't had many opportunities to post to this blog. This is a situation I am striving to rectify.
I have upped my efforts in relation to Web content writing because I believe this is the way of the future. While content writing for the Web is different from writing for print magazines, once mastered, it can be an enjoyable and lucrative method of writing for extra income or for a living.
Increasingly, writers are turning to the Internet for inspiration and employment. Web content writing is a natural fit in tune with their abilities and with the times. In fact, in today's challenging economic climate, writers have an edge: they can use their skills when looking for employment opportunities.
In today's post, I'm including resources for writers who want to get into Web content writing or who are seeking additional content writing opportunities that are only found on the Web.
Web Content Writing Resources
- Web Content is King--writing web content that attracts visitors.
- How to Write Evergreen Web Content--websites need content that is "green" and doesn't become outdated.
- How to Write for the Web--why web content is different and what writers must know to be successful.
- Writing Web Content That Works--tips to publish content online.
