As a freelancer, I really enjoy writing for sites that allow you to create your own content and then earn money from the revenue that you generate from the site that you’re writing for. My favorite of these sites has always been HubPages where I have contributed articles regularly for two years.
Through that site I am able to earn ongoing passive income in the form of Google Adsense earnings as well as Kontera Publishers earnings, both of which add a nice little chunk of change to my standard freelance income. I’m happy with HubPages and don’t plan to stop working there anytime soon.
However, I do think it’s worth it to branch out and try new sites that operate in the same manner. Some of the ones that I’ve tried in the past turned out not to generate very much income and mostly seemed to be a waste of time (other than assisting in boosting my portfolio). But a few (eHow is one example) have panned out over time.
The one that I’ve just started trying now is Bukisa. Like other sites of its kind, you write the content that interests you and upload it to your profile on the site. You then promote those articles to gain traffic and increase your revenue. The difference with this site as compared to other sites seems to be in the social networking aspect of the site. The goal here is to add people to your Bukisa network so that the articles that they write can also generate money for you. There’s no cost to join so it seems like an interesting way for web writers and bloggers to support each other’s work. It’s a cool idea and one I’m interested in trying out.
If you’re also interested in trying to combine the power of social networking with the poewr of content writing then maybe you’ll try it out as well. Of course, I’d love it if you’d join my Bukisa network, but even if you don’t I’d be curious to hear what your experience with the site is. And you might be interested in my first article there anyway - it’s about the tips that I know of for getting freelance tax deductions.
Leave your thoughts in the comments - I really want to know what other people are thinking of the Bukisa site!
