My view is that when an Owner starts to take in money, if s/he has a dishonest gene, it takes over and they deplete the ‘treasury’ and can’t pay their writers.

I think this a very unstable scenario. Sites come into action, reach a peak and then amazingly slide down. Is it the increased number of users that they are unable to pay or the owners become disinterested in there money making sites is a big question.

Whenever a site starts gaining immense popularity and gets new users every day I fear its…[Read more]

I say foap is a joke I have the app they all way have misson in other country them I am in. To me it is just other social site I am still looking for other app to sell photo foap idea is good if you sell for $10.00 they get $5.00 and you get $5.00 and still keep your rights to but they just do not have any buyer there.

I disagree Mahesh.   If a site is NON paying, such as Wikinut or Blogjob, fine.  But a site like Hubpages is supposed to pay, but pays so little, if/when it’s a waste of key strokes.  Any site that promises to pay and doesn’t is a Scam.

When it comes to Ad Block… that’s a whole different story

Not paying people does not mean they are scam. It just means they don’t have means to pay. People use adblock and expect to get paid from the internet. So sites are genuine but people need to be genuine too. Also LB, Mylot and iwriter are still there if you are trying to write on everyday basis.

Does anoyone know any writing sites besides myLot that actually pay? It seems almost all sites are scams now. I still use niume and it’s okay but I did notice the ‘views’ are not the real views. I wish they were more transparent about it. I want to find sites that are genuine.

Wikinut doesn’t pay and probably never will again.   The Owner of the site hasn’t a clue how to manage a site, and left his mods to do what they pleased.  As soon as the site stopped paying the Mods left, except for the one guy, the one I’d warned about publishing Shards…

The Fact was; the Owner messed up, and ripped off the writers.  Then ran with coin.   If he hadn’t been such a dishonest thief that site would be the top of the Internet.

@David Hersh , Hi @eagledoing? I am happy to meet you here. It is me Cacay3at Mykites. I have missed you al there. I missed Cherilad and Stowyk and that guy a Chemistry teacher emyryst. They are my all the time supporters there. We had that teamwork. I do not know the reaction of Rapid Blue hehehehe. He is always on the opposition side.

Nice…[Read more]

There is another alternative to foap, it is with name snapwire. The site has same system like foap. And the image quality on the site is of DSLR. So you may find that it may not even worth it using with the mobile images. So with DSLR, you’d be able to sell the images across various platforms.

@PEEUSH TRIKHA,actually, that was also my first payment from Mykites $15. I supposed to redeem only to know they closed their site, very unprofessional, karma to them. All they wanted from us is to serve them through helping them dispose and buy products through their on line associates. I supposed to buy a gadget, but thankful I had not done it,…[Read more]

My adsense is still active on Hubpages. And squidoo is now owned by hubpages. And now that new sites of hubpages are doing good. I am sure many authors are making good money. For example, As for Wikinut, yes got the idea of they not much into earning these days.

I have never heard of it, maybe I should give it a try. I have tried similar sites online, but haven’t had much luck it’s normally very difficult to find a buyer.

I am on Swagbucks for last three years and getting paid regularly. In fact I have received a Gift voucher only yesterday. I did not want to redeem yet but I was offered extra SB on redemption as it was my birthday present from SB if I redeemed my points within 30 days.

@Mahesh Wikinut is still there but it does not pay. They accepted anything republished and earning pennies was almost impossible even when they had reduced their payout to British Pound 2.5 from 5. I was paid 4 times total BP 10 within a span of 6 years. The site has stopped paying since 2016 with proper notification to all its members!
