Show Them What You've Got!

Your writing is an extension of you as a person. What you present to the world is what they will remember about you. I realize this is a subject that is not approached on many other sites, but I feel the need to make this a high priority here.

You see, I am also an editor on Fullofknowledge.com. Our standards there are very high. I do not want to be an editor here, I want you all to speak your mind, in your own voice, but do not hate me if I leave a comment on your article asking you to proofread it carefully.

I do this, not for my benefit, but for yours, and for every writer on this site! We are a team, and teams help each other out. Even though I do not have time to work with each of you one on one here, I still want to see you be the best writers you can possibly be. It is what I love so about editing.

You see, at Fullofknowledge, we don't just publish or decline. Our editorial team works with writers, so that they know where they need to improve, and can learn and grow from the experience. So, if you see me leave a comment about something in your article, please know that I do so with the utmost respect, and with the intention of helping...never hurting.

How you present yourself is important. The words you put forth speak for YOU! Make them the most well chosen words you can find, and you will see your readership grow. Make your subject matter interesting, and they will always come back to see more. Make your articles more readable, and you will have far more readers, and get far more views. Believe me, it is well worth the extra effort!

I have finally decided on the perfect subject matter for my writing here on PWG. I think many of my articles will include helpful tips for my friends in writing! So, stay tuned, if you want to be a better writer, and most important of all...always enjoy what you write, and others will as well!

How to Earn Well Online: Tiered Revenue Networks

Keep in mind, that this article will violate rules on many other sites as it will reference other pay sites. So, consider this if you plan on re-posting this information on another site.

With that said, anyone is welcome to re-post this information as they wish. Enjoy!

Find a Good Archive Site

First, You will need a stable earning site. This doesn't have to be a high earner, but it should be one that you can safely archive your articles without fear of losing your account, being deleted or has very restrictive rules and guidelines.

If your articles are around 300-400 words, well written and original this should be acceptable for your archive site. All your articles will be published here first. My archive site of choice is FullofKnowledge.com because the staff are friendly, helpful and interactive.

The nice thing about Fullofknowledge, among many, is that earnings are stable. I reference the earnings here like interest building on savings. As you add more articles, your earnings begin to build over time without much maintenance. For this reason, Fullofknowledge is the foundation of my online content network.

Second Tier Networks

Second tier networks are those that you will republish your articles to for additional performance pay. Yahoo Contributor Network has an upfront-pay option and would be great for archives if they did not require you to wait 10 business days to review your article. After the 10 days your article may be denied, effectively wasting two weeks of your time for nothing. The upfront pay averages $3. It doesn't matter what Yahoo says on their site regarding upfront pay. It's $3 after 2 weeks of waiting after holding your article in limbo.

YCN is a 2nd tier network because of their performance pay which is a dismal $1.50 per 1000 views. You can republish an article on YCN for performance pay only and get your article reviewed in about seven days as long as you meet their somewhat lofty submission requirements.

It's fairly easy to get your article published at YCN for performance pay only. You can consider this a small boost to your Fullofknowledge monthly earnings. YCN pays to your PayPal account every month providing you have earned $3+ in performance pay.

There are other 2nd tier network options that I have found to be much too cumbersome in their interface, which requires massive self-promotion and garners very little earnings for the work you have to put in. YCN is the best choice as a 2nd tier network until something better comes along.

Third Tier Networks

These are often newer revenue sites that pop up and offer very high earnings. And some do earn very well for the writer. What makes these sites third tier networks are their performance record. There is some question of whether you will get paid or not - so keep this in mind. The third tier site I use is Bubblews.com.

Being fair, Bubblews has its issues paying writers. I have had a payment go missing as well as writers I know personally to be reputable who have had some payments lost there. it pays well when it does but it's not a reliable earner.

If your 3rd tier network pays you, it's wonderful. If they do not pay you, then you still have your 1st & 2nd tier earners building stable revenue.

Central Sites

A central site is a site where you can easily access the various parts of each network from one page. This can be any site you have admin privilege to access and has html coding ability. So, I created a page on my personal site to build easy to access links to reference, cite, source and submit my articles without having to hop around the Internet.

Your central site is where you oversee the overall performance of your articles. This is open to the user according to need. I have a button that displays my earnings across all my networks, my blogs, Adsense earnings, etc. Another area on this page has the buttons I need to research an article, find images, and submit.

Finally, I have an area on this page to share my published articles all at once across Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+, Pinterest, and Tumbler. Which leads us into our last portion which is sharing.

Sharing on Social Media

First, you should share your article on a site that actively rewards you for social medial shares. Some networks do not recognize visits from social media sites or they get paid for them but do not pass those earnings on to you. Regardless, you will need to test your sites out to see if you are getting earnings for your social media shares.

Arguably, you could reserve your social media shares to your archive site to build up a solid and reliable readership base. That would perhaps be the wiser choice. I, typically, share links to my articles on my current highest performing site which is also a tier 3 earner. I get instant gratification and the most for my page views. Again, I probably should be sharing on my archive network but I'm still young and require my heart to be broken before I learn.

So this is my how-to guide to online content. I didn't write one of these until I actually began to earn well online as to not put out any irrelevant, useless and vague commentary. I earn a reliable $500 monthly from online content from my relatively new tier model system described above.

Those earnings promise to eventually rise and become more secure as my tier 1 and 2 networks build up a solid library of articles.
