How Bubblews made me a blogger

Tweet

My mom got me hooked on Bubblews. I liked two things about it - making money, which was great, and also having a reason to write every day. I liked the fact that it encouraged short articles and actually paid me decently at first. It was a great way to practice being concise and understandable. I earned two $50 payouts before the site shut down. I also archived and reworked a large amount of what I'd written. When the site folded, I decided that this would be a great basis for a blog. Since Bubblews was entirely gone, my content was all mine again. All I had to do was copy and paste what I'd archived, maybe edit a little, and post it on my own blog. So I got a Wordpress blog and started doing just that. It's taught me a lot so far. It's taught me about creating good categories, making things appealing and eye catching so people will look in the first place, and how to find good royalty free graphics. Primarily it's an art blog but I have a lot of advice and thoughts about other things as well. It's been interesting to see what people find most useful, what's gotten the most attention. At the moment I have 47 regular followers and I've even seen people find my articles through Google searches. Bubblews may have gone away, but what I learned there has lasted. By the way, if anyone is curious, my blog can be found at
