Blogging and Writing Projects UPDATE

Tweet

This is a follow up to a discussion post I initiated April 2016 (which was a follow up to another post). I discussed several social sites that said they would pay. Yeah whatever! The sites are named in my image and MyLot is the only one really paying. The site Tsu bit da dust! In 2019, they said they were coming back. I ain't seen 'em yet! Just found out the other day Bitlanders said Bye Bye! The site Blogjob seems to have problems with its plugins. Slowly I am moving content from that site to other homes on the web. I came to MyLot because Persona Paper discontinued its rewards program. The site still exists but I am no longer active. I sometimes remove content from that site and republish where I can earn income. I keep my account because I like the new owner and one day she might figure out a way for the members to earn income from their activity. My articles at HUBPages continue to generate income. The HP owners have a revenue-share plan. They share Google Ad Sense revenue. I plan to write some articles even though I have not written for a few years. It's my old articles that are still generating income. I'm sticking with Tumblr. Even though the admin were toying with the idea of how to allow users to generate income from their blogs. Their ideas never materialized. But there are lot of ways to use this platform for income purposes. They allow affiliate links, for example. Some of the sites NOT mentioned that I have tried since that old post? Niume. The owner died and nobody wanted to continue the site. Daily Two Cents and Writedge were partner sites owned by the same two ladies. For personal reasons they shut down the sites. I did earn for a while. I was able to republish my content elsewhere and make income. Virily was set up right after Niume closed down and like MyLot, it actually really pays. Forum Coin was recommended to me by a friend and they pay too! 100 Springs is paying me to write 4 articles a month. Started participating in the Quora Partner Program and Medium Partner Program. Quora requires too much guesswork to earn income. Just as I had gotten used it, Medium changed their business model so earning income has become kind of challenging. I still maintain my stand-alone blogs because they have Google Ad Sense ads that slowly but surely generate passive income. Of course you have to reach a cashout of $100 before Google will cut you check. There was once a time when there were earnings to be made from those ads. But no more.
