So far I have reviewed three pay for content sites. Today I am reviewing a site called Mahalo. This is a site that is aiming to be a human powered search engine. It was started by the guy who created a group of popular blogs including Engadget. Now Mahalo is paying people to create hand made search result pages.

So far, I have covered two pay for content sites called Bukisa and Associated Content in part one and two of this series. Both of these sites allows a wide range of content, but the pay systems vary. You also have to do a fair amount of promotion to be successful on these sites. Today I am reviewing an extremely popular site called eHow.com where you can receive a share of ad revenue for writing short how-to articles.

In the first part of this series about writing for money online I covered a relatively new revenue sharing site named Bukisa. Today I am reviewing a much more established website called Associated Content. I joined this site over a year ago so I have a bit more experience with how it works.

I started writing online in 2007 at my personal blog and have not stopped since. I am very fortunate to have been selected to join Wise Bread last year and I have made a steady amount of gas and food money from blogging since then. A lot of my friends have asked me how to earn money online with their writing, and oftentimes they are deterred by the process of setting up and marketing their own blogs. So I decided to research the various websites where people can sell content online and review each of them one by one. Today I am reviewing Bukisa, a relatively new pay for content / ad revenue sharing site.

Making Extra Cash
The economy is hurting all of us – especially families trying to raise and educate their kids.

Career and Income, Making Extra Cash
The store that I work at offers a rewards card to frequent shoppers, and there are quite a few people who refuse to sign up for it - I can understand why they wouldn't want to have another shopping card on hand, but trust me, if you regularly spend a hundred dollars in a particular store, you deserve some kind of reward. You might even be surprised how much money you actually spend at a particular store - I'm regularly handing out free gifts to shoppers who look shocked that they qualify for them.

I love stories like this. It gives me hope that one day, something “worthless” sitting in my garage will instantly fill up my daughters’ college funds. In this case, the seemingly worthless item was a rusty bucket of bolts called a 1963 Pontiac Le Mans Tempest. When I saw the pictures, I was surprised at the high starting bid of $500. Imagine how the owner felt when it netted him almost a quarter of a million dollars.
