It’s not about bad owners for all site. Many sites are dying because of the Adblockers. Nobody considers them at this point of time. That is one reason many people are assuming every site that falls is scam. But that’s not the case. Most of the fallen sites do have issues with adblockers reduced income for their site.

Most of thee mission I have noticed are in Europe. And most of the people who make more money from the photos are in Europe. You may also find that the people who get their photos sold are basically using DSLR. I’d say this is a lot more to handle for any novice with the camera phone.

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.

Thanks for this motivating post for new users like me. I’m still $2.5 away from payout . Hopefully I will be able to make it before the 10th of next month.

I’m pretty excited and your post make me more excited.
All the best to both of us…

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.
