@peachpurple, since your 20 cents goal excludes this and that, I think when you include every single activity, you would have closer to 50 cents in earning.

wow, now the blog display is really nice! When you click on “Blog” you get to see a lot of nice pictures, and you can click on the picture to read the blog! Thank you @support and the tech team. |

@kaka135 My posts for past few years are not written with seo in mind. Only those written for Triond, Associated Content and Helium had excellent seo elements. |

@peachpurple If Bubblews was still around, I would not submit as one single blog of 1700 words! I would split into 10 chapters, and submitted separately. I have a feeling that a long blog post does not earn as much here as many shorter ones. Since a 300 words blog earns 15 cents, and 700 words blog earns 22 cents, the wise thing to do is to split the 700 words into 2 blogs, so that you net 30 cents instead of 22 cents. |

@kaka135 Since a 300 words post gets you 15 cents, and 1400 words only get you 35 cents, it does not make sense to publish lengthy post. you can easily top up another 100 words to the 1400 words, and then split into 5 posts of 300 words each, that will net you 75 cents compared to 35 cents that you are getting for a single post. |

@rapidblue There is a difference here compared to other writing site. In nearly all writing sites, page views is more important than quality or quantity of content. You may have observed that many bad writers who cannot piece a sentence earn more than good writers. They are simply good at getting views. They have millions of followers in all social networking sites, and they can get in million of views to their lousy blogs. LiteracyBase does not have this problem, because we are not paid based on views generated on our content. If I get in visitors to your blog, I get paid, not you who are the original writer. In this case, having a tiered system that links upfront rate to both quantity and quality of content will not caused conflict. It will favor the existing prolific writers who have earned their rights to more upfront pay by their sheer number of content and word count. |

@support An edit button is good, as long as the edited content passes through moderator. Sometimes we like to write time-sensitive content (eg crash of passenger jet), and we have to keep on editing to take in new information. I think a few months later, we will be writing about US election! That sure calls for a lot of revision. |

Yes, @kaka135 @rapidblue, I agree that there should be more transparency. Perhaps @support can consider a tier payment scheme for blog post. Many years ago, Helium and Associated Content have such tier payment schemes. It is a source of great motivation and stress. In Helium, the writers are paid based on the number of writing stars. If you are 3 stars writer, you get $1.50 upfront per article, on top of passive income from that article. If you are 4 stars writer, you get $2 per new article. All articles in the same topic will be rated by fellow writers. That is a very complicated scheme, and very time-consuming. I suggest something simpler that includes: – Total blogs published – Grand total words written – Quality (based on the discretion of the moderator) multiply by the 15 cents per 300 words That means a writer with 200 blog posts, and a grand total of 200,000 words will get more upfront for a new blog post than a new writer.

@kaka135 @peachpurple your bonus reward me of a saying in the office. Those who are noisy appears to do more work! Apparently both of you are active, and “noisy” here, so a noisy bonus is given to you as a contribution to the cyber noise pollution. |

Strictly speaking, Hubpages is meant for article marketers, not article writers. You write with a goal of getting the readers to buy products from Amazon, or to click on the Google Adsense advertisements. If you are into writing personal blog or poems, or creative writing, you earn practically nothing with Hubpages. |

@support why not just automate the referral link to tag to the end of the blog post? Adding a simple note at the end of the blog post: “Enjoy reading? You can sign up for free and earn money too” The whole text is hyperlink to the writer’s referral code. By the way, where do we view our list of referrals? |

@kaka135 This one about unique visitor is quite simple. Unique visitor means unique IP address. If you and your husband share the same IP address, and both of you read the same blog post with different devices, it will count as 1 visit. Even if you re-read the same article the next day, it is still count as 1 visit. However, if you read a different article, your visit will count as a separate unique visit to that content. |

Discussing about earnings does not mean we have the intention to scam the site owners. I think once we have more articles, and especially from a variety of topics, we can see what topics earn us more money. It will be fair to submit a few blog posts of the same length, and at the same time, and when you get differing amount for each post, you can see which topic makes the most for you. Since time is limited, it is best to focus on the topic that earns the best. |

Personally I think the pay rate per article is based not just on the word count. Perhaps it is based on the keywords and subject matter too. If I write about insurance or banking products, the advertising revenue will be higher, so I would expect the rate to be higher than that of personal blog that talks about feelings or food. I guess you get 15 cents for 300 words and 22 cents for 700 words, probably due to the topics. Perhaps the 300 words post has higher commercial value than the one that has 700 words. |
