Any company that you may be thinking of writing for or even placing their ads for revenue on your site needs to be checked out very carefully. I am sorry but the truth is there are so very many scammers out there. I once applied for a job online and they asked me for $39.00 to run a security check on me. So I said great, it sounds like there really interested in me and maybe I have the job. They took my $39.00 as fast as they could and that was the end of them!

You should visit many different forum sites and make a note of the ones that have heavy posting. This would indicate a lot of informed readers with lot of vast knowledge about all kinds of different companies.

One forum that I basically use as kind of a little work tool is http://www.wahm.com/forum. It is a really huge site that has been around for years. There is a search button at the top of the screen. Just fill in the company name that you are interested in gathering additional information about. Don’t specify a category and set the dates to all.

You will be amazed at what you can find out about the company that you are interested in. Another good source of information is to just key in on a search bar something like “What is it like to work for XYZ company”. Several times I have done this and peoples blogs come up in the search results that you can click on and read about their experience with the company.

These are some of my thoughts on what I want to know about a website before I leave it. How much do they pay? When do they pay? Do they pay by PayPal? And if so how long before they actually transfer the money to PayPal? Do they pay by check? If your postal system is bad like mine this would not be something you really wanted. Do you earn any Adsense money?

Is there a minimum amount that you must reach before they will pay you. I give a site real careful consideration if their pay out is $50.00 or more. Some sites it can take quite a while to achieve this.

Do they have a referral program? I have not really delved into this area much, but when I go to many forums I am seeing that people are really putting in their referral links a lot. I think there is a chance that they could add up pretty quickly.

Let’s look at a pay to write type of site. How many words do you have to write for what amount of money. You need to calculate it out to see how much they pay per word. I just found a site that seemed a little different in that they actually paid more for shorter articles than they did for a longer one.

How long do you have to complete the work? There’s all kinds of different time lines out there, some are twenty four hours on up to even a week. So, what’s your time line?

I hope this sparks some ideas in your mind so you will know what to focus in on as you visit these sites.

My take on this site from what I have seen is that you are allocated your own blog on their site. Within reason you may write about anything you want excluding the usual bad language vulgarity etc.

There is no up front payment from Writing Campus. The money you earn is Google Adsense money. If I understood their Terms & Conditions, you are paid 60% of the Adsense earnings, when the ads are clicked. I thought I read they have a referral program, perhaps I am mistaken because I could not locate that info on their site. Any body know about referrals and this site? Please speak up and leave us all a comment.

You keep the copyrights to what you write on their site. It does say in the Terms & Conditions that they can repost your post on other 3rd party sites with out paying you for it.

When you write a post they suggest you include 2-3 links of other articles that you have written on their site so maybe those would also get visited and perhaps someone would click on the Google ads.

I believe the just of what I read was that if you own the rights to your article then you can copy and past it to their site. However there was a mention of Google spiders not really liking it if you re-past the same text. Seems like I have heard that about these spiders before.

They encourage you to comment on other peoples articles and they say that when you post a comment you will earn 3 points. And yes on one page I saw people with large number of points earned. Anybody out there know what you do with these points? Maybe I missed it. Why are they of value to you? Come on let me know in a comment and fill in our readers too.

I currently run Adsense on most of my main pages of my website and a couple of my blogs that allow it. However, my earnings are only going to improve if I have Google Adsense on more sites than I currently do. Especially sites that get a lot of heavy traffic so you would get increased page views and or clicks.

Unfortunately I don’t get a huge amount of traffic on any of my sites. Wouldn’t it be neat if traffic was a problem? There are many sites with ton’s of traffic that you can set up an account with them and write on their site. You can earn money from page views and clicks.

Here’s what the key to all of this is. I currently only have 3 accounts that all channel their earnings into my one Google account. What if I were to sign up for say another 10 sites that would all channel my earnings back into the same one Google account. The deal here is that the payout amount for Google is a stiff $100.00! Ouch, at the rate I am earning that will take a heck of a long time to reach pay out.

So, do you see where I am going with this? I want to achieve the pay out the sooner the better. If I can write short articles on some of these other sites and generally increase my Google earnings faster, then the faster I will reach my pay out. I think there is some logic to this and watching the earnings grow faster in my account will be a blast. At least it might be some form of encouragement.

When you set up your account you are allowed to include your websites and blogs under the My Sites tab. Yea! I signed up with them the other day, with my primary interests being the outgoing links. My first article was an article about fleas and how to handle them once your house and pets are infected. People on this site write feedback about what they think of your article.

The response I got about my article was kind of disappointing. They said I need to watch my grammar. You bet I have a terrible time with that, but I do try! They also said that maybe my article did not go into enough detail. It was suppose to be just a heads up to the mess you can get into with fleas. So that’s the experience so far with this site.

I went back into the site to see what my article looked like and I was so pleased to see that my website (with a link) was indeed listed at the bottom of my article for all the world to see! I think this was the site that was by invitation only to get accepted. I no longer have the invitation, nor do I know how to give you one. I bet you can search the net with the words invitation and Qassia to get one.

The basics as I understand them are that you can write about anything with a minimum being around a paragraph or more. The site stresses over and over again that this work must be original and cannot be published elsewhere. There’s quite a copyright section that you have to go through when you write the article. Sorry, it just made my head spin. You better take a look at it for yourself.

They do not actually edit or approve your work before its published on this site. You just hit the submit button and your work is on. Apparently they want you to help screen articles because these offers keep coming up on my screen. I’ll have to check into that in the future. You earn Qassi dollars for screening. And no these are not real money type of dollars. But they do have weight to them. The more dollars you accumulate, the more weight your website holds on their site. And the more articles that you write will also earn Qassi dollars.

They say that the more you write the better your website will rank in their directory. I need some more clarity on how that really works.

In order to participate you would need to set up a Google Adsense account if you don’t already have one. You are actually paid through your Google account. The minimum payout is $100.00. As you can imagine it can take a while to accumulate this amount. At least for me it does!

I have been over on this website reading up on how this works today. They made a very valid point that I had not really taken into consideration. Lets say you have a blog and your running Google Adsense on it, but yet you have very little traffic. So, consequently you also have very little earnings. But this site is bound to get more traffic than your one little blog.

There for my theory is you write for this site. You get more traffic to your articles and more clicks to your Google ads and you could beef up your Google income! Sounds good doesn’t it?

Heres an interesting thought. Google assigns ads next to your article based on the topic of your article. Why don’t we figure out what the subjects are that have higher paying ads. Write about those subjects and make more money! I wonder if I could find this information in the Google tool that I use?

Please correct me if I am wrong. But, I got the impression from their website that you can write just about anything, within reason of course. The list of subjects that you can write about is at least 2 full screens long.

Some of the requirements are that they suggest that you write at least 3-4 times per week. The more you write the more you earn, because you will have more Google ads. Yes, I guess this does make sense when you think about it. They prefer that your article be about 400-500 words.

We will call this good for today, because I am going over there to sign up.

Normally, in the past I had kind of shied away from companies that didn’t at least pay you some up front money. Now, I have decided to explore them in more detail. Many people have written that there overall earnings are not just from one path or one method. The key seems to not putting all your eggs in one basket. How often have we all heard that?

Any way there are a couple of ways that you can earn with this company. They seem fairly easy and straight forward.

You can even publish a list, which will entitle you to 50% of Google Adsense advertising. You can add a list to an existing list and then you will receive 50% of the ad revenue from that list. Be sure and create your profile. The profile page will pay you 100% Google Adsense revenue. You can refer a friend using the refer a friend on your profile page. When your friend writes a qualifying page, you then get 10% of their Google Adsense revenue. Sounds a little confusing, just try it out and I think it will make sense to you.

I am game on this one. I just signed up for their membership and I am all ready to try it out. You just have to jump in with two feet sometimes to see how it really works.

Here’s a little information about how to get started. Click on the Sign Up button. It will ask you for your Id and password. Then it will ask you if you need to sign up for a new Google account or do you wish to use your existing Google account.

I clicked on using the existing account. Next you select a service, such a Yahoo, Gmail etc. You then type in your Id and password for the account you just gave them. Next popped up a company wanting to know if I was interested in joining their network of friends. At this time I declined and clicked cancel.

Next I added my favorite avatar for a picture. You can probably use a real picture, I just don’t have one. In the mean time I checked my mail and there was the confirmation email from Google that I had to fill out that basically said I did want Rate It All to be able to contribute big bucks into my account!

And then you are brought into your home page for Rate It All. This is where you can check messages, suggestions, activity, profile, network and edit your account or profile.

Okay, I just had to try posting a review. There’s all kinds of topics. Just for kicks I clicked on Pets, clicked on Dogs and Dog Breeds. On page two of Dog Breed I found a listing for Chow Chows. I couldn’t resist. You will now find the 44th review of chows containing my review of them.

I have never been able to find out what date this company pays out. I think the minimum pay out is $100. If you know the scoop, please leave a comment to let everybody know.

Glade-candle $6.83

Flameless candle $20.60

Vanilla cream candle in jar $8.99

Anyway the Adreporting site appears to work a little bit different than some of the ad sites. What you can do is promote products that convert. Yes you do get paid a little something if someone clicks on the ad. We will use 4 cents for this figure. Then next comes in the conversion factor. Let’s say this offer had an email registration in it, which many things on the net do. And the person viewing the offer went ahead and signed up for the offer.

The example I saw was for free Ziploc bags. When they sign up for the free Ziploc bags you are paid an additional 85 cents. Do I have your attention now! So, now you have just made 89 cents with very little effort. This sounds like a blast to me!

Basically what is required here is a little copy and pasting to place links or banners in your websites, blog posts and blogs. There suppose to come in all different sizes and styles.

You can see that the big money maker here is the conversion portion. It sounds kind of interesting doesn’t it? Well, where the heck does my free time go. I have been going to try this one out myself. I just never get around to it! If you find out a good tid bit about them, be sure and drop me a comment.

I had read somewhere that they paid $3.00 per tip, which I thought was pretty good considering the length in words of the tip. But, when I was on their website I could not find any reference to being paid per tip at all.

Things on the net can change pretty fast. On another blog I read that they were paying $1.00 per tip. With the economy in the rough state that it’s in, it’s not surprising that people are changing their pay scales drastically. So, what you read one day maybe totally different a few weeks from now.

Upon further investigation in looking at other blogs, some people have some serious concerns about this company. Some of the questions that were raised, were how many tips are actually published daily? At one time you were only paid for the tip if it was published. And, some people claimed they were never paid. True or false? I don’t know.

I can tell you what I saw on their website today. And that is that they now have monthly prizes of $100.00, $75.00 and $50.00. These prizes are for the top three writers. I also want to mention that you don’t keep any copyrights when you are published here.

This idea seems like it might be a neat and fun way to make some money. This business is called Daytipper. Cute name ha! Basically what you do is write some short tips about anything and everything. The requirements for the tips are that they be 500 characters. Not words!

I understand that it’s suppose to take about two days to have your tip approved. You will receive an email about this. Once it’s published, you are paid via PayPal in in 7 to 10 days.

The tip must be relevant to their site. A tip can be rejected if it contains too many character. So keep it short but sweet! 500 characters works out to the neighborhood of about 3 sentences.

The best part is that there is no minimum pay out amount. Not that I found anyway. Here is a small sampling of some of the topics that you can write tips for. Buying and selling, family, gardening, household and pets. Head on over to the website. They have a really big list of tip categories for you to write on. Good luck!
