What Is Better, Buksia or Associated Content?

I don't really like those two sites, but if I really had to choose between them, I would choose AC (despite not being eligible for upfront payment) I many be biased though, since I remember a time when Bukisa was somewhere you could publish just anything, and it was not uncommon to see people publishing things with lots of filler text at the end like "Please read my articles please read my articles please read my articles" because their article didn't meet the word count. There are also a few other issues, and Bukisa has been cleaning up their act slowly, but I'm stil not going to recommend them to anybody, despite being able to get a referral under me if I do so. For AC, they somehow have problems with their site every now and then (well, every site has problems every now and then, but AC has them more frequently :P). If I remember correctly, your first 3 articles will also take a long time to be published, around a week or so. You'll be able to instantly publish the rest of your articles once you have got 3 articles under your belt though. And you won't be eligible for upfront payments unless you are a US resident. Nothing else besides these though. AC does have a number of members who are respected in the writing community, like Michelle L Devon, so that's definitely a plus point. But really, my choice wouldn't be within these two. There's Triond, there's Helium, there's Suite101, and quite a few more. The "better" site would depend on what you want from a writing site. So, what do you want from a writing site?

Well Bukisa allows you to post articles that have already been posted to other sites, so if you wanted to get double earnings from your articles you could post to A.C, and once it is accepted go and post it to Bukisa. BUT If you really just want one site, I would say A.C. because you can earn upfront payments AND performance payments from your articles there.

I've never heard of buskia, but I am a member of associated content. I haven't written anything for them in a while, though.

At the moment I prefer Associated Content. The reason for my preference is that I write a lot of articles that are inter-related. Call them series of articles. On Associated, I get paid by the pageview; if a person reads multiple articles in the set, I get paid for each. On Bukisa, I would only get paid once (by the unique viewer) no matter how many of my articles they read. There is also the fact that AC has paid me more than Bukisa for the test articles (same article placed on both sites to test the market).

Hi Iram, join both. Since both sites do not require exclusive rights to the article, you can post the same article in two writing sites. In this case, you do not even need to put in extra effort into writing. In this case, you can reach out to different audience, and build up a fan base in both writing sites.
