guys, I've come across discussions that keep talking about bubblews. And I'll be honest, I'm sick of it.
I've joined this website last year and it didn't work out for me. Call me bitter, if you will.
You will read various report about how good and bad a site this is. If you wanna know more about it, just search on google. I don't want to explain anything about it because it sickens me to think of that site, personally.
If you only knew what that site did to me, you wouldn't blame me either for feeling the way I do now.
I'm not gonna say that bubblews is a scam, and I'm not gonna say it is NOT a scam either. Frankly, I don't give a $hit. If you really want to know, just go to the site and explore it yourself!
You will hear reports of members from there, some would say
1. Oohh! It's such a great site, I'm making money without sweat! I didn't even do anything and my money is growing!! I can write pretty much anything I want there just as long as it's above 400 words!(just so you know, they didn't have this rule last year!) I don''t even have to be a professional writer or good at English either because the site welcomes any article it can get and I get paid for it! It's so easy! I made 25 dollars in just 2 weeks! How's that??! Come on and join us!!!
And you would hear reports saying quite the opposite
2. Argh, that site is horrible! I've been writing and writing for days, I have not even slept and eat properly so my money would increase faster, because by being more active there, I'd be making more money! But oh, wait. I made 25 dollars already and redeemed it and I still don't have my money. I contact the site and they won't even reply. The heck just happened?? They don't pay!!?? It's a scam everyone!!! I've been scammed!! BOO HOOO! All my hard work(which was actually easy because my article didn't really have to make sense so they would accept it) is for nothing! It's a scam! scam! scam!! Wait, wut?? What's that in the rule section?? I didn't see that rule written there before! I disobeyed some rules and now I'm not getting paid? What the, they should have noted me about this! But they didn't!! Oh no! I've been scammed!!! -goes crazy mad-
Puhleeez, these varied reports about this site clearly indicates that it is unreliable. You might make money here, or not, it depends, but for sure it is UNRELIABLE. So go ahead and join it, take the risk. Just don't go crazy if it doesn't pay you, because, that wouldn't be all that surprising at all.
yay, I'm done with my rant. Now back to your lives.

@Jlyn: Bubblews is a pay per view site, so, when your posts are indexed in the main search engines, you have just to wait for visitors. At least, in theory, because, like Aja said, the server is so often slow or crashed/unreachable, that there are days where I don't earn a cent.

Back then I abandoned mylot to work more on bubblews. It was a dumb thing because bubblews is not reliable. It is evident with the availability of the site.
It crashes more often than we poop in a week.(Disgusting analogy, sorry)
I hope if goes well for you topffer! And thank you jlyn! LOL, you might wanna try it it might work for you. If something is too good to be true, we can be positive about it and see if it works? Life is about taking risks after all. But the thing that really annoyed me about the site is their poor management!! and inconsistency!
HONEST BUBBLEWS SAYS
I will either pay you or not. that depends entirely to me. write anything above 400 words and be active. You might as well forget about eating, sleeping or pooping, because every second you are active here counts! If you as much as disobey one rule(which I couldn't bother myself to notify you about) I will not pay you ever, but I will let you continue what you do and let you hope you will get something out of me, so I can still exploit you to the fullest. I'm such a jerk. Ain't I lovely?

Wow. Sorry to hear of your lousy experience. Believe me, I've had many disappointments with online junk over the years. Occasionally I would waste precious time. But there were also those times where I would also waste and lose my hard earned money.
Maybe you're better off staying right here on myLot. It's reliable and definately not a scam.
When you do research a site that you may be interested in, look for a pattern in the reviews. Are most of the reviews positive or negative. That will give you a better idea of how reliable the site is.
If the reviews are split 50 / 50 or something to that affect, I would probably not waste my time.

Thank you betlyn. You are right. But back then, bubblews was very new and only few people know about it. there were not many reviews about it.
My referrer was someone from this site who has already earned there 7 times. So naturally, I believed her and didn't bother looking for reviews.

Now Bubblews is having better speed after upgrading that they claim. So just try again.

mohkanari: they say they keep upgrading but it still manages to crash every few days. What the heck... maybe the people who have been not paid already left the site and that helped ease up the traffic a bit, thereby, faster site speed.
@prof: Give it a try again and explore the site. At least you know the risks now.

Hmm you also start a discussion about bubblews. My earning in there only $1. I get that earning for sign up bonus. I still not post any article in there because I see a lot of people complaining in mylot they not receive a payment from this site. I will post article in that site when I see a lot of people say a good things about that site. Right now I will not post any article.

I don't think the negative comments about the site will stop, kei. Not unless the site improves and actually pays everyone who has put effort in to their site. But It seems nothing has changed at all.
It is POSSIBLE that you will earn there, just not 100%

I don't want to become like them. After do a lot of hardwork and reach payout the payment not sent or not getting paid.

it will take time to write articles there. And you have to respond to people there if you want to earn more. which means it will require hours for you to actually gain money.

Hi Aja-
This detailed information you have given will be of great help to lot of people.All i knew about this website is that its a good website for article writing but i didn't join it because i am addicted to discussions.Before Mylot i used to post in EspnCricinfo and Facebook but there you get lot of trolls to interrupt meaningful discussions.Anyways coming back to Bubblews,it seems that they have paid only to few people ,as there are so many topics about people complaining that website is not opening or they are not getting payment in time.What exactly is the problem there,they dont give the payout like you mentioned in your description or they reject the tasks without any solid reasons?Best wishes.

Yes. Thank you grv. I meant this discussion to let people know the positive and negative reviews about that site. it is their decision to choose which one they want to believe and that they should know the risks of being on that site before joining or at least not get their hopes too high only to be crashed down by disappointment when they are not paid for their work.
That's true. Facebook has so many trolls and shallow thinkers or just lazy responders who can't think of a better conversation.
There is no explanation given as to why you are not paid. Only clue is that if you disobey the rules, you will not be paid. And worse, if you disobey, you won't be notified. So you are fooled to keep on writing and expecting money. That's what annoys people most, because they don't know what they have done wrong. Before, I kept sending messages to the admins there but it didn't work. I was ignored completely. I realized I was not respected and appreciated as a member there and I felt to exploited. I don't want that to happen to other people.

I have noticed the increased number in posts regarding that site. And i have only been a member for two months. I have not tried requesting for redemption as of yet, but would probably in a few days. I have read both positive and negative comments, and personally, I am not that sure yet if the time I have spent there will be worth it.

There's news around that the site pays some members and not some members. Because they can't afford to pay everyone. it's a hype to let more people come to the site and gain more traffic.
I hope you get your money, jenny.

Hi Aja!
Just relax. Others are just happy to share their luck and of course hoping to get referrals. While those who are talking against the site are those who have done their best but wasn't able to make it.
Well, that is part of life. There are failures and successes.
Get well soon.

I was also thinking of posting this kind of discussion here because right now, there are already increasing number of people asking for the legitimacy and whether or not bubblews is really paying. It makes me sick considering that from time to time, a new discussion is created with bubblews as the subject. I guess its already turned to scam.

Nevermind that it's a scam or not, because people who have joined it have both positive and negative comments about the website.
That simply means the site is inconsistent. And should we trust an inconsistent site? No!
people who do give negative comments about the site have nothing to gain. They only do it to inform and to let out their frustrations. People should take those comments seriously too.
Sadly, the site is too good to be true. it worked for some and for others it didn't. It's really annoying and unfair because everyone worked just as hard.
I see you are sick with that website too. join the club!

Hi Aja You have every right to complain

Exactly my purpose, lauren. thank you for responding.
That site has fooled a lot of people.
They fooled people they pay, making them believe that the site is good.
They fooled people they don't pay, by making them expect payment they will never get without as much as a little explanation.
That site is cruel. An inconsistent heart breaker.

When it was new, the rules were not even put up there. Only a few months later did they post the rules and there were many of them. By that time, a lot of members have unintentionally disobeyed the rules because of lack of notification. The management in that site is horrible. Sure, it's easy money, but it's not sure money.

I am glad I read your disccussion, and some of the responses to it. I was actually considering joining that bubbles site, but after viewing the information provided here by people who have used the site, I don't think I will be signing up there. I have heard a lot of people saying that mylot is not a good site, but I have been a member here for years, and mylot has never failed to pay me when I reached the payout amount. There are a couple of minor issues I have a problem with here, but they always pay faithfully. Mylot is the best site I have found so far...

Breath and remember mylot is a site free for discussion and if you dont like them just ignore them . We all see things we dont like but if its ok to others why should it make you this uncomfortable ??
Lets be free

It's something personal. I don't hate the discussion starters of bubblews. But there is something about it being a repetitive discussion that irks me. Always saying some lines like 'I earned this much' etc, 'I think this site is good'.
I am not denying them of their freedom to talk about it. I am also using that freedom to share my feelings about that website and what I think people should know about that website.

someone here in mylot which i befriended at facebook referred me to that site. i am not a member in there but one good friend of mine told me that it is not so a nice site because it is not paying, i mean if they do they will choose whom to pay. my referrer asked me then if i already posted something in there but i said him no and told him what i knew about this site. he answered me that the bublews will not pay if you are not following the rules they set for it. so i said to him that i will not pursue my luck in there continuously and that i will stick here in mylot because of its friendly rules and surroundings.
that is why i love her in mylot, in fairness. happy to be here actually :)

Bubblews do not like people asking for likes that is like exchange views and that will be a problem . I join them because I want to see whats its all about and I follow all the guidelines and I got paid .
I am not sure what some members do that dont get pay but they know because I have seen some members that plagiarize asking for pay that is what annoyed me , they spoil things for others.

That's good missjahn.
I think bubblews will stress you out because it requires you to keep writing articles so you will get noticed there more. It's really annoying because people keep asking for likes and there's no guarantee they will pay.

I have been sick of them for awhile now. I cashed out and was told I violated terms. Cash out again, after making sure I followed the rules and 3 weeks later nothing. Im done with them now.
@Aja103654 (5646)

13 Apr 13
wait, I remembered you had a successful cash out there before?
That's exactly what I am talking about. They tell you violated terms, you try to make it right and be a good member, but you still get nothing in the end, but the site? Oh, they have gained so much from you. which is really unfair. Bubblews is a b-tch.

And why am I not surprised?
Many have reported they have been paid though sometimes they are not. It's really suspicious isn't it?
It could be possible that you did not disobey any rule but they only use that as an excuse to not pay you anymore, so they could keep the money. Besides, I recall not having rules before but after a few months they posted them so out of the blue and that's when I realized that I did a lot of things against the rules.
Bubblews is so vague with their rules and inconsistent with their payments.
The least they could have done is ban someone directly if they will never pay that person ever again. At least that person won't be exploited anymore.

I am sorry Bubblews made you sick, well it's not making be sick, I have $10 in my account and I make sure, I follow their rules on Bubbles, these people that haven't been paid have not, followed the rules on Bubblews, that is what their problem is then when the site don't, pay them they cry and complain, that the site is a scam well I don't buy it, you have to follow the rules, on all these sites, if you want to be paid, people always trying to get around, doing what they are told to do, and they fail everytime.

Sadly the rules were not so clear back when I joined that site.
There are some who intentionally disobeyed the rules, those are the people who had no right to complain they were not paid. However, there are also those that made mistake and were not aware they disobeyed some rules. they don't even notify. That's what I hate about that site. They don't communicate well with the members. There are no moderators tasks to do that. A good site would have moderators. Maybe they have them now but I tell you, moderators were not around in the site last year and even if there were, they were not doing their job well enough.
I hope you redeem your money. But then I would advise you not to put too much trust on that site.

The first time I joined Bubblews I was so happy. They paid me 3 times on 5, accusing me (for just ONE article) to have copied. And it was not true. It was an italian recipe that you can find everywhere on the web and I took it from one book I have at home.
Anyway, I can accept this and I promised not to write recipe anymore.
This time, in fact, I've only written about my life, my days, what I like and so on.
I've reached the minimum payout, requested on friday and nothing happened.
This time thay can't accuse me of nothing, but I think I won't get money this time as well. But in this case I will leave the site. Don't have time to waste writing for nothing.

I think once you have disobeyed the rules, they will never pay you again. That's what I hate most about it, they don't give chances.
