Impressed With Article Income Writing Site

Yesterday I signed up for the writing site, Article Income. I must say, I like the site navigability.

I was also attracted by the points system. Let me explain.

Article Income offers writers 50% of the ad revenue, a fairly typical earning profile for an online writing site, but--and here's the important "but"-- you accrue points to net higher earnings and it is not difficult at all to gain those points. You earn points through submitting PPPs or original articles and by rating and commenting on others' articles. Basically you gain points for doing what you would normally do at a content site. Simple, eh?

Why accrue points? Your earnings can reach a ceiling of 75% of ad revenue! That's impressive. You advance from Bronze @ 50% to Diamond @ 75% revenue.

Think of the potential: you write keyword optimized articles, which translate into higher CPC ads on your pages and if you are at the 75% earnings threshold, you make a significant amount in article earnings.

Article Income Articles
  • Article quality: articles are reviewed by editors prior to publication.
  • Hyperlinks are not allowed in articles but links can be added to the Author Resource Box to gain backlinks to websites/blogs.
  • Articles are written in first or third person.
  • Article Income is open to non-U.S. residents
  • Articles should be 300-1000 words. Longer articles tend to perform better
 Article Income is still in Beta but I like the clean, progressive look of the whole site.

love the fact that this is available to non-US residents.

So many businesses are closing their doors these days to those of us outside the US.

Hi Mary,
Yes, it can be hard for non-US residents to find writing gigs online.

Triond and HubPage are also sites that are open to non-US writers.

75% share sure looks good and it beats hubpages.
