When I started out on Bubblews, I also started some spreadsheets in Numbers - that's the Apple spreadsheet product - and I've been reasonably religious in keeping them up to date.
I can make a steady $50 redemption each week, and my figures are just under $1.00 a post. I write more, I get paid more, I guess.
I also look at other writers.
I see a few making over ten dollars a day, and one making over twenty. There's probably a lot more, but I only keep figures for those who catch my eye. I'm somewhere in the middle.
Turning to my stats, I find that over my career I have roughly 15 000 views, 5 000 likes and 1 500 comments. That's reasonably standard. Each figure a third of the one above.
Given the amount of time I spend writing and connecting, I can see that there's a limit, and I'm not all that far from it. I can tweak my style a little, but realistically, Bubblews is not going to be a great earner for me.
However, I noticed a few regular posters whose views/likes ratio is more like ten than three. Athena and javaman74 stand out. Javaman74 averages 8 posts a day, $2.70 a post and $21.50 a day.
Not to be sneezed at. So where are all those pageviews coming from? They must be coming from outside the Bubblews community, and the way to get those is to load up on SEO. That's my educated guess.
SEO keywords, social media and similar. They look like good ways to leverage writing effort.
Any ideas?
