They are using the Google Adsense earning method to pay writers.

It is not a matter of where the writers come from, but where the visitors come from.

Visitors from US mean a higher rate per 1000 views.  Visitors from Asia mean a lower rate per 1000 views.

I think the site is still trying to set a standard rate according to the statistics.

If they have too many views from developing countries, they may pay $1 per 1000 views or even less than that.

If they have most of the views from US, they do not have to worry.

The unique feature is the payment for the share.

You can share all the blog posts written by everyone else, and still earn from them.

Just go to any post, scroll down to the comment field.  Just before the comments, you will see the url that ends with your username.

You have to copy the whole url, including your username.

Once your followers in social media click on the link that contains your username, you will get paid.

@ruby3881 There are only a few ways to make a writing site profitable.

I think she can learn from Hubpages.

They have Adsense and they have affiliate marketing to fund the site.

Persona Paper has to shut down because their Adsense account was banned.

I do not know the reason for it, but once Google bans anyone, it will not re-consider the application.

Without Adsense, it is impossible to earn.

@rebecca It is extremely tough to get cashout here.

You have to publish 2 or 3 blog posts every day of 350 words.  2 blog posts will yield 25 cents to 30 cents.

You have to use social networking sites to get traffic to the articles (yours and others).  just make sure that your user id is at the end of the link.  You can find the link at the bottom of the article before the comment field.

If you have a great followers base, you can probably get 10 cents to 20 cents per promotion.

The last to do is to leave comments on articles, and forums.  10 comments will probably give you 10 to 20 cents.

If you do it consistently enough, making $10 to $20 per month is possible.

That is very kind of him.  Honesty is not always for the best intention.

Many workers are honest not because they want to be honest.

They know that they will get rewards for honesty or they will get punished if they are not honest, and they are found out.

@bestwriter I like to answer on behalf of @ruby3881

For your post, I assume the keyword is “the power of positive thinking”.

1. Title can be optimized to “How to use the power of positive thinking.”  Adding the word “how-to” is always good for search engine optimization.  Another way is to rename as “Positive Thinking: How positive thinking transforms your life”

2. Rewrite to include more second person (You) instead of first person (I), because that makes the readers feel like you are talking to them.  (eg: When you have a mini tornado devastating your garden, how do you keep a positive thought? This is a real incident that happens in my garden).

3.  I run an seo keyword density analysis on the web page that contains your blog.  http://www.internetmarketingninjas.com/seo-tools/keyword-density/

Guess what is the result?  The prominent keyword is “July”, because the post is published in July, and all the comments are dated in July.  In the end, “July” is the prominent keyword, followed by “positive thinking”, even then it does not have 4% keyword density.

In many cases, comments dilute the keyword density.  If you have 100 comments that include “good article”, the outstanding keyword becomes “good article” instead of “positive thinking”.

@ruby3881 Over to you, please add on.

@swalia Actually the quality of the posts does not improve just because we write with seo techniques.

The improvement is in the number of readers from search engines, and the corresponding ad revenue.

Though Literacybase does not have Adsense yet, sooner or later they will have, and they will see higher earnings due to the posts that attract search engine traffic.

They probably based on what they think they can get from the advertisers.

The problem is that they do not have any ad now, so it is at best a guess.

If a blog gets $1 in advertising revenue, in most sites, they will retain 50 cents (for hosting and salary of the staff), and pay out 50 cents to the writers.

Here in LB, we get paid for commenting and forum participating on top of getting visitors, so they probably have to retain 30 cents for all these activities.

Even then, the upfront should be 20 cents.

Obviously if they think the blog post brings in just 50 cents in revenue, then they will give a very low upfront rate.

The problem is that nobody will know unless they have all the ads in place, and they have the time to monitor for a period of a year or more.

July 2, 2016 at 7:04 am

Just 5 cents?  That is too little. I should think that all posts with 350 words should be paid 15 cents.

Personal experience blogs make for easier reading, unlike those how-to blog posts.

@thinker That was long time ago.  I have canceled my account in Clickbank.

Affiliate marketing is too much work for too little money.  I can earn more by article writing.

Good luck to your venture in affiliate marketing.

I have done nothing much this month, and my earning is still very far from the minimum cashout requirement.

I think if I continue at this rate of writing just 2 posts a month, it will take a few months for me to reach $10.

July 1, 2016 at 6:18 pm

Good that they have resolved the issues.

Hope that no new bugs surface as they continue with the programming of new code for a better site.

@raaman Easyhits4u is meant as a traffic exchange, not purely a PTC site.

Many people use it to get referrals, or to get sales.

I have used it successfully to get sales for Clickbank products.  It is extremely hard to get one buyer, though when you get a sale, and you earn a commission, the feeling is very good.

Too bad Clickbank (at that time) did not pay by Paypal.  They issued check in USD, and the bank took a few more days and charged me extra for cashing in USD check and converted to my local currency.

The earnings of 30 cents per 1000 sites is a bonus, not really a reason to join Easyhits4u.

July 1, 2016 at 6:02 pm

@thinker If your website has Adsense, then you cannot use traffic exchange.

It will get you ban.

You cannot use Easyhits4u to get traffic to your articles in any writing sites too.

However, you are wrong to assume that you cannot get sales for affiliate program.

I have gotten sales for Clickbank before.  I managed to get one check from Clickbank but the check was in US dollar, and after the charges imposed by the bank for clearing foreign check, the amount was too little.

I had canceled my Clickbank account.

I still use it to get referrals for Bitlanders, though the success rate is not high.

I think Easyhits4u is the only traffic exchange that pays consistently since 2003.  No other traffic exchange lasts so long or pay so well.
