Bukisa Update: First Payment Surprise

I haven't spent much time on Bukisa since I initially started The Bukisa Experiment and earlier today was alerted that the Bukisa index was lowered to 3.65 for February.

Dropping Bukisa Index?


First it was 4.0 (I believe), then 3.95 and now 3.65. Is this a problem? This doesn't really concern me because I know a new site has to attract members at first and then may need to scale back their payout levels awaiting their own payments through revenue sources. I'm hopeful that as the site continues to grow, the index will climb up OR that there will be enough traffic that the existing index payment rates will be worthwhile. I'd also love it if they incented further based on actual revenue. Hopefully that is going to eventually be the case.

I didn't think I'd hit payout this month and heard that the person that signed me up has just hit her first payout so I decided that in February I'd kick my efforts up a notch. But, this morning I got an e-mail from Bukisa support who wanted to pay me early if I was interested because I was already close to the payout level. Talk about a nice surprise!

An early payout is pretty rare and this further demonstrates the great personalized service I've been raving about regarding this site so of course I agreed. This is a good call by this company to keep people interested and hype up people like myself who started out strong but have let Bukisa slide to the back burner. If site members feel it's nearly impossible to reach payout, they won't bother and if they only move along slowly, they'll quickly lose interest. When people reach payout sooner than anticipated, they'll most often get right back at their efforts so they can reach payout again so this was a very good call by Bukisa.

Bukisa: More than spare change...

This site is bringing me some cash with my articles, yes, but it's also bringing me a good deal of page views on my various blogs according to my site statistics so those page views are bringing me Bukisa earnings, and when they click one of my links and get onto my own sites they bring me potential earnings through Google Adsense on my other sites as well as my other affiliate programs. There's also the backlink value from an SEO perspective and as the author of more than a dozen blogs, I LOVE backlinks.

Are you making money on Bukisa yet? Beyond the eHow writer compensation program and Bukisa, what other pay per page view writing programs have you found lucrative?

The Bukisa Experiment Update

As promised a month ago, here's my 1 month update of how much money I'm earning on Bukisa. After a month of putting in articles, doing a bit of social networking and not all that much effort, my Bukisa earnings are at just over $20.00.




The Bukisa Index

Last month Bukisa had an index of 4.20 which meant you got $4.20 for every 1000 page views. This month the Bukisa index is 3.95. I'm a bit surprised it went down based on a lot of content and activity but perhaps the site owners decided to pay higher in the first month to attract people's attention. Whatever the case may be I'm definitely going to keep at it.

Bukisa Network

So far, only 1 person in my network has been doing any articles but I have recently accumulated several new members in my network so I'm hopeful that I'll start seeing the earnings get higher. I should also say that I know a lot of people make hundreds of dollars a month on eHow.com and in their beginning months start with mere pennies only so this first month is giving me a great feeling about the potential of Bukisa.

Site Updates

I do know the site owners have plans for upgrades and have been very accessible and receptive to users. I do hope that system abuse doesn't cause them to have to change the pricing model too drastically because I know with systems like these there is bound to be some abuse.

Anyway, if you're interested, join Bukisa with this link and be in my network. I'd make 20% of your earnings but this doesn't cost you a penny because the revenue sharing comes from Bukisa's end; not yours. And, everyone you refer makes you money and then everyone your referrals refer will make you money, too! In fact, they'll make me money as well because this the site pays referrals for several levels. They also offer revenue sharing on videos as well.

Link Bonus

I am also getting some nice traffic from my Bukisa articles to my linked sites and am not entirely sure but might have even made an affiliate sale as a result which makes it all the more attractive.

My Review On Bukisa's Earning Potential

My thoughts a month in are definitely a thumbs up!
