Hello friends...I am sorry, I want to share my disappointment on shvoong.com again. I was join to the site two months and half ago, submit 99 articles and get 3011 visitors, but I am very surprised I just get profit $0.34, it is so little. This profit the same with my earning in mylot.com for three days. I am very sad about this...What do you think about this friends...?

That's actually not bad on a rev share site. The thing is, it doesn't matter that you published 99 articles: it's the page views that count. With ~3000 views, you're looking at a worldwide eCPM of just over $0.10 - which is average for that kind of thing.
The positive side is that it's residual income: it'll keep accumulating with no more work. The negative side is that you're only getting 10% of what they're making... which is horrific. Most rev share works at 50% or more, so you should have earned five times that amount.
Of course, most rev share doesn't accept tiny little review articles with little or no quality checking, so I'm guessing that's why they pay such an insultingly low percentage. Either that or they're deliberately targetting people who don't realise they're getting screwed.

Yes, you are right...My profit will accumulated as long as my articles are viewed, but I think 10 % is too low for my efforts. Right now, I still confuse what should I do to the site later...Thank you.

I have seen that almost everybody is disappointed with shvoong. I am not a member there, but I have heard a lot about it and have not come across a single person who is happy with shvoong.
However, it could be a good site to increase the writing skills. Moreover, we can feel a little happy when our articles are being published and people reading those.

Yes, I feel happy when there are a lot of people who read my articles, but I have wasted my time because I don't get enough earning from my articles. I have been left the site and active in this site. I hope mylot will heal my broken heart on shvoong.

can you imagine, if my first payment happens 1 year later? April 2010..
but every 2011, i get my payment regular every month
now i know, we don`t know how to make money in shvoong..

Hi Adhyz82, I give up on Triond long ago.
With about 1000 articles there, I make less than a dollar per month.
Now that I focus on Bubblews, I get about $25 every week.
Sometimes a bit more. This month is a good month for me.
i can reach $25 in just five days, instead of the usual week.
i think you can just sign up and view it as a blogging platform or writing site, and the minimum word count is 400 characters, that means about 110 words or so.

You got 34 cents for 99 articles, wow. I get 2.43$ for each article i write and get approved. Do the math and get the hell away from shvoong or whatever it is called. Not worth the time.

Yes, it is not worth for my investment on shvoong. You are very lucky...get $ 2.43 for each article. What is your strategy to reach it. What are you doing on shvoong?

Yes, Miamiang...You are right. It is so hard make money on shvoong. I just submit articles not research or summary of novels.If I have some best strategy to generate money on shvoong maybe I come back to the site, but currently I have no ideas...Thank...

i just visited your profile:
http://www.shvoong.com/writers/srisahara/
if this is your profile i have to say your article quality is low and your author ranking and article ranking will be low. a site is only a platform but true efforts should be focused on search results and media sharing.
most of them are only 300 words and i can't understand why you have used layout in your article. i have a blog and receive higher traffic for organized article than plainly written article.
write articles for user and pick topic you are passionate about and money will flow in for sure.
if there is any part which may be offensive please excuse me, i merely like to give you feedback.

yes, you are right, it is my profile on shvoong. Yes, my rating on the site is low. Most of my articles are only 300 words. Maybe my topic on the articles are not the best topics that interest my readers. Okay I'll try to write best topic and top search engine. Thank you...

Shvoong.com pays very low. That is what I read on some on internet. Even though you write many articles on it, in three years time, you would not earn good money at shvoong.com.

There are times that even we know that a certain site is legit yet we were not able to get the proper strategy in order to earn more from the site. It's a sad thing to know that your expectation was not meet. You are not alone. Anyway, there are till a lot of sites which you could try.
Just keep going!

Hi ! Actually our efforts are not well compensated in Writing article sites. Writing article sites pays so little. Like my experienced , i have written almost 500 but my earnings didn't reach $10 for my 6 months of writing in that site. Too far from from our earnings in Mylot . I prefer to stay here more and there i will just visit for my poetic expression.

Yes, you are right...I also experience not only not well compensation but also bad compensation. Yes, mylot is so better than shvoong to make money online, although I just join for three days...I have make $0.33 in mylot.

Yes, you are right...many online writers experience the same case with me, and most of them leave the site. if I can get some good strategy to reach feasible earning, maybe I leave it too...

I think the payment is too low, should have go to 30 dollars. Anyway, you can work there still if you think is worth it.

Yes, if I build my own blog maybe I get the feasible earning...about $20-30. I still consider to stay on the site or leave it. Thank you for your response.

well, I think that it is not bad, because your articles stell there and you will receve from them form now in on.
there are like 5 months I don't write fro shvoong, but I keep get $0.80 per month, and when I used to work hard on there, I used to get much more.
it is not how much articles you write, but how many views you have on those articles, you have to write something that is popular.
thank you for your discussion and don't give up shvoong now, try one or 2 months more and see if you can get more views.

Oh wow! 99 articles for only .34? I dont think thats a good site. Bubblews pay more than that. Specially that you submitted 99 articles.
