I joined Hubpages about the same time as you did.  The earnings weren’t bad.  They collapsed in 2010.  After that 5c a month was pretty standard.

Why write so many words, so many images, and get so little?

And when you look at their ‘top’ stories, they are nothing I much care to read.

If you Join Hubpages, you aren’t going to make much money.  The kind of stuff they publish which gets views, is as you say, niche.   If you find the niche and you are interested in that stuff… fine.  If you want to write what you want to write about, don’t expect many views.

They can’t rely on Google because they are the capital of Content Fa…[Read more]

Adblocker didn’t destroy Helium.   Helium did it all itself.  Who wants to waste time on such a site?  Imagine researching some topic, writing, posting….and your item is discarded. Nah.

HubPages is still ‘active’, term used loosely.   It once paid fairly well, had many good writers, and had Twelve MIllion Hits a Month.   Twelve Million.   Getting 1k hits on an item was minor, as many writers got so much more.

The site demanded long articles with lots of images.

Then, in 2010, something happened.

The Top Writer stopped re…[Read more]

Greek Myths are powerful all schools worldwide study them part of literature subjects.Without Greeks, we would never have Mathematics,Physics, Science, Medicine, Sports, Politics and more.That is why born a great Olympiad and all due to us through Greeks. They are great in artworks they based all in nudity to get the exactness of the measurements…[Read more]

There were so many sites; and a great deal of quality items were published.  The quality kept Factoidz and Helium alive.  They had many hits.  Writing on Blogjob and not being paid is ridiculous.  It hasn’t starting paying yet, and it has been a long time… I think a year…

@PEEUSH TRIKHA ,Mykites was down two months ago and I have $15 there which they did not send to my Pay Pal karma to that site. There were 6 of us redeeming payment of our works, so sad, it just went down. That site likes the writers to buy products from those whcih they are the agents.Many including me opposed.They might get angry and after few…[Read more]

Helium was another site.  In this one, you had to write on a set topic.   After you wrote your item would be ‘judged’ in comparison to other items on the same topic.  To submit an item one had to judge other items…

It was a ridiculous site which lasted way too long.   I  used it for ideas.   Often, if I had writer’s block I’d log onto Heliu…[Read more]

@kaylar, There were almost 500 writing and paying sites closed, meaning weak and lack capital.But BlogJob is still showing its resurrections.We can still open our site and interact some those who happen to be on line. There is one blogger there she is blogging and discussing daily about her daily beliefs hehehehehe, that seems insanity posting…[Read more]

One has to be alert.  When one sees a manipulation or a trick, they have to know what to do.  When a site is in America then one can contact a law enforcement agency which will shut them down.  With Bubblews, the two thieves who ran that one lived in America so they were a few steps from jail cell when they were shut down.

Like Quac, the Fa…[Read more]

If sense less, I also read and comment more.If we comment more . we earn more. By the way, please write longer discussion for the pay is better that shorter. If possible write and write expound and expound to…[Read more]

What was the worst part was when he dropped one to ‘member’ the article was earning.   He was pocketing the money.  So you could see your article earning… but he would keep your money.

@Mahesh, life is lonely without internet.There are many things we would miss to do in the absence of current. I am willing to pay extra current bill just to have myself enjoy the day with my virtual friends exchanging comments and sharing blogs to different sites.I spend a lot of time in the net only at night only 3 hours and Sundays for I have…[Read more]

@Purity Purity , Thank you my dear.There are so many topics to base on our blogs. We can write according to what we experienced in the past and the experience at the present moment. We are never run out of topic , so there is no reason why copy contents from others. Those who copied might be in a hurry to earn or just lazy in the day.

I am…[Read more]

To get the ball rolling I want to discuss a site that went down perhaps ten years ago.  A site called Factoidz.

If you get on the wayback machine  (archive.org) you can take a glance at what it was when it was what it was.

There were many good articles which were well received.  Originally, Factoidz paid very well.  Then, the Owner got gre…[Read more]
