Revenue Sharing Websites: Writing for Skyword

Revenue sharing websites are a legitimate way to earn money online. Today we will look at Skyword.

If you are anything like me, you are always on the look-out for revenue sharing websites that allow content creators to earn real income. These days, I'm very picky about which sites I choose. I consider a number of factors before deciding to invest my time.

What should you consider before writing for Skyword? What pay rates are offered?

Factors to Consider With Revenue Sharing Websites Such as Skyword

Use the info below when assessing Skyword

• Actual revenue share--is the pay rate worth your time and effort?
• Site popularity--even if the revenue share is generous, does the site generate enough traffic?
• Has the site been impacted by PANDA?
• Traffic generation features--does the site integrate buttons for bookmarking purposes?
• Do user panels offer specific information that writers can use to their best advantage, such as total article views or accumulated earnings?
• Free training--some revenue sharing websites, in striving for quality content, offer training as part of the package. You basically "earn while you learn"--an excellent idea, in my books. Writing for these sites might be technically a tad harder but the skills writers acquire are certainly worthwhile and can be used down the road when creating other articles.

Skyword writers create content for Gather News, Daily Glow, ImpreMedia, Pampers Pregnancy, and IBM Infoboom, with differing pay scenarios including  upfront and/or residual earnings.
