If I don’t put in an image, I won’t be published. Sometimes, do to the glitchy nature I can’t dl an image. Having written an item I have to find an image. Some older images work… some… I have to… borrow

Hubpages has become a waste of keystrokes, Niume plays with hits, so that you can’t be sure how many people viewed your work, so they can lie about how much you earn. As to Blogjob, if there are any ads on the pages, well, the money goes into the owners pocket. |

Bubblews was created as a scam. If you do any research http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Arvind-Dixit/1604570409 You’ll note that this is a highly educated guy who started the company to rip off the public. Put it simply, let us suppose you have an Adsense account and agree to host xyz ads on your page for .001 per hit. this means if the page gets 100 hits that is 1c. Now how can a site pay 1c if it earns 1c? It can’t. So the owner would pay 1c for 200 hits, that is you get 1c as the owner, I get 1c as the writer and Adsense pays 2c. But wait… what about managing costs? Electricity, the computer, the hosting? Okay. You pay 1c for 300 hits. In this way, you get 1c for your pocket, 1c for the business, and 1c goes to the writer. This is a sustainable business model. If you have 1 million users, each one getting 1,200 hits, each one of those users would be paid 1c for every 300 hits, so each would earn 4c. You would earn 8c from every user. At the end of the day you would have enough money to pay your bills, and live alright. Now, if you paid 1c for 200 hits you’d be having to pay out of pocket, and although having 1M accounts, would work, having 10,000 each getting 200 hits would cut it close. Now how can anyone pay for ‘likes’ and ‘comments’ ? Where would the money come from? If, however, one took it $30,000 in a month, and paid out, instead of $10,000, $5,000, ‘stealing’ that extra $5,000 one could survive. This is what Dixit did until the day he had to close the site. |

In Jamaica, while a case is going on, one is not to discuss the aspects of it. Although in high profile cases the news will report who took the stand or when an adjournment is granted, the legal bits are not to be discussed. Once a case is decided, the entire judgment can be published. |

In Jamaica we publish our decided cases If you go here; http://supremecourt.gov.jm/content/judgments you’ll get the raw judgements, names of everyone, the lawyers, the judges, the accused… |

I could understand if my writing needed editing. If I was clumsy or unsure. But the point was not just editing; it was Changing. Changing what I wrote. Maybe the editor didn’t appreciate that the words I chose had specific meanings they weren’t just there. |

I got my pay out today… I’m usually last |

So far, Niume plays with hits, Mylot pays little but wants little work, and here… which is sort of.. iffy sometims. |
|
Most of the sites are gone… the survivors, most of them, don’t pay. |

One of the ‘tricks’ many sites do is to pay for ‘hits’ or ‘views’ and fudge them. Usually, when you join you seem to get a lot of hits, make that pay out, and then, no matter how many hits, comments you get, the money barely climbs. Niume is known for that. You make your first $10 in about month. Your second? You will reach something like $3.38 and it will take how many items how many hits to get to $3.39. If you don’t know the trick you are networking until your fingers bleed. The fact is, the site is lying to you. You know this because you have received comments, but the hits don’t seem to change. How can someone comment and NOT be reading your work? How many hits does it take to reach 1c for redemption 2 compared to redemption 1? Many writers have their own ‘hit counter’ inserted and they can see they got 58 hits and the site reports 8. Others go by the fact the item is on Facebook, people are clicking and reading it, but the number of hits doesn’t change. Some people have duals, that is another identity. They have two Facebook profiles, and read their stuff from another profile, and note there is no change in hits. This is done to prevent redemption. It’s a simple trick, used by many sites. |

Cely, you might be right. It could be a ‘bot. It could be a computer program which logs on and goes to request friendship from users. A simple program. |

I can’t get in touch with Support most times… I wish they were taking more notice of this. |
|
Hopefully the Scammers will go somewhere else. |

I used an image and Pop! Another writer instantly copied it! |

I was sure they were gone, all their stuff taken down. I don’t know why people are trying to scam us so much. Many people here are not in America and really… what do they expect to get? A VISA..? Don’t they realise most people are NOT American?
