I’m Done With Bukisa

After reading Deb Ng’s post on Make Sure the End Justifies the Means I started to think about the time I was putting into writing articles for Bukisa. Now, I didn’t write loads of them like others have – I think I had 26 up all together. But was/is it worth the effort? For me, I decided no.
The first reason was that several of the articles that I published there at the beginning were gone. I emailed customer service and got no response. I noticed that they are finally back but it would have been nice to have a response saying it was fixed or that they were working on it. The second reason is that I logged in today to find that my earnings have actually gone down by about a $1 since the last time I was there. Perhaps just a glitch but still…
And the bottom line? If I have nothing better to do I can write articles and sell them on Constant Content or I can sell them as PLR content or I can sell them exclusively at webmaster boards.
So, the 30 articles in 30 Days Challenge is officially over. I’ll leave my content up that is already there because it is good for samples when bidding on jobs but I won’t spend more time writing there.
I stopped writing for Bukisa too. I also notices a ‘blip’ in my earnings. I decided to use the time and set up my author blog and poetry blog, as well as running my coffee break blog. It has paid off for me in the amount of exposure I have gained.
The cash is nice, but hopefully if my novel gets published, my followers will buy a copy and I will gain that way ;0
Thanks for stopping by Glynis. I think the bottom line is that we (as writers) need to stay focused on our goals. If our goal is to make money over a long term sites like Bukisa might be good if you really work them. If we have goals like publishing – they likely won’t help much.
