you are not the only one who misses blogjob.

Niume pays 1c for every 10 views… so I think they pay more…

My view was that Blogbourne was one of those scam sites that is pimped by people on other sites, to rope in as many suckers as possible.  The point of getting stooges to visit a site is that they can show the Advertisers…’see!  We get 40k users a DAY!’

Advertisers, seeing the turnout, pay to put their ads on the page.  The owner gathers the money, pushes it into his pocket and sits back and see how many stupid people will post and post and post, and Not Get Paid.

Some of us were remarkably lucky.

We went on the site, made a post and were told about ‘image’.  Now we write, we aren’t graphic designers.  We go to Google, we pop in a search term, we ask for images, the images come up and we pick one.

When we are told “No!  the image should be 300×600 or that we have permission to use it… we are like… forget it!

Further, the morons on Blogbourne think they can write better than we can so want to change our titles.

Many of us took one look at the changed title and deleted our work.

So those who weren’t going to spend hours searching for an image or allow some moron to alter our work, ran away.  And were protected from this new scam.

That is exactly what I did.  When I saw that ridiculous title, I deleted and ran.

It is pretty obvious this is a scam site.

Why trust them?  They say October 1 and could go down tomorrow.  The best thing, have copies of all the items, and get them lined up to be published here, and on Oct 1 if/when it goes down with all your work… well… you have your work.

Maybe for you approval is quick

September 27, 2016 at 11:40 pm

If the delay was reasonable, i.e. I post at 10 pm and everyone knocks off work at 7pm and the item isn’t seen and passed until 10 am or 12 pm I can think of my time zone and try to post in the morning.  And if I post at 9 am and the item is moderated by 1 pm I can say yeah, busy mods.  But the delay is unreasonable.  And gets worse the closer one gets to the 10th.

September 27, 2016 at 7:07 pm

I see the point but it is a two way street.  One can not expect me to participate when I feel used.

The slow moderation is offensive to me.  It is not just a few hours, it is days.   So if the site collapses because of the slow moderation it is not my fault, is it? Yes, the slow moderation makes me reluctant to write, so instead of posting two items on Monday I post none.   Why bother?  If I post on X site they will come up and start earning within minutes.  If I post them here, two days will pass before they can earn.

September 27, 2016 at 5:49 pm

The delay in moderation effects my creativity.  I often have spurts and will write three or more items; different ideas, topics, etc.  When I post them here, and they sit and wait for two days or so, (one is usually rejected) it is discouraging.

It seems evident to me.. as an average users; not one of the ‘pets’  that my work will always sit for two days so that I will Never be able to redeem once a month but limited to redemption every other month.

Hence, I might post here, randomly over the next few months but I’m not going to focus on LB.  I’ll just do what I need to get my November redemption.

September 26, 2016 at 5:33 pm

I am pretty much going to make up the $1.40 needed for a redemption by comments and whatever, and then quietly leave this site.  It is pointless to continue.

I joined…I have made 6c and have 60 views.

September 22, 2016 at 9:23 pm

A lot of times one misses an error.  I have.   So being able to go back and patch should be allowed.

September 22, 2016 at 9:21 pm

This site will do whatever it takes to insure that most of us..(there will always be a ‘pet’ or a ‘shill’ to say…”Oh that Never happened to Me!” so that the rest of us will feel that we did ‘something wrong’.

The plagiarism thing makes me laugh as well.  It’s a trick if you try to publish too fast.  They’ll claim something is plagiarised.

But you know, and I know, if you are writing about the situation in Syria and I am writing about it the articles will be different.  Sure certain things can’t change, like facts, but any real mod would know that we are writing independently.

Just settle in and realise that you will be paid every other month, so don’t post 3 at a time, cause 1 will be automatically rejected.  Post one and the next day post another, and if the first hasn’t been published, don’t write again until it is.
