Not sure about Bubblews

I signed up about 3 weeks ago for a new site called Bubblews. I have written a few articles and have made enough to get paid from them. So I redeemed what I have made yesterday. But there are a lot of people that are on there that aren't getting paid for their work. So I am waiting until I get paid before I write anything else. I also see from some of the other articles that they haven't even been told why they weren't paid. What is your views of this site?

Part of the issue is that many members rely on online character counters. The problem with such tools, is that they include spaces. Bubblews doesn't tell us whether or not their system does this, so people think they are submitting over 400 characters when actually it's a lot less. Its best to use something like MS Word, OpenOffice or just make sure your posts are close to 1000 words.

Thanks that's good to know, I'll keep that in mind when I write my next post.

the problem is aiming for 400 characters.... if you are aiming to do 400 characters, then your content is rubbish

@carlie that isn't necessarily true. it's a massive generalisation to say a 400 character post is rubbish.

I'm on there but haven't quite made enough to be paid yet. I'm about $2 short and I've 8 posts so far.

And here I thought I was doing really well averaging about $2.50 per article this time around!

@FrugalMommy looking at it that way I'm doing ok as my money works out at just over $2.89. lamb says we get paid for likes on our comments which I didn't believe but am now researching.

Bubblews has 8 fairly simple rules, which are listed on the Bank page. As long as you follow them you'll get paid. I've read a few of your articles and they all look fine to me. Redemptions are taking about 3-4 days right now, even though the site says 24 hours when you submit your request. Based on my experiences, I'd say that they're very good about making sure that legitimate redemption issues are addressed promptly. There was an issue with my second payment (they tried to pay me last Wednesday but got an error saying my email address wasn't registered with PayPal) and they let me know right away. I replied to the email and didn't hear back for about a week, so last night I posted a message on BubblewsSupport1's profile asking if they could look into it for me. When I logged on this morning, my eCheck was pending.

Thanks for the reply, I am always unsure about these new sites. Especially when they promise to pay as much as Bubblews is promising.

I signed up, but have been too busy making money to write anything yet.
